In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
A young mans dreams
Wild as a mountain stream
Rush all to the sea
Well I was restless and I was reckless
Trying to stay free
I swore that no one would hold me very long
But in your arms I found the place where I belonged
Now I'm not running anymore
No more chasing down the sun
The moment I looked in your eyes I knew you were the one
Oh your velvet chains have taken my heart for sure
And baby it's a sweet surrender
I'm not running anymore
The clouds rolled by
In the blue summer sky
And I watched them disappear
Cause I'm satisfied and finally life is right
Well you make it all so clear
If you hadn't saved me I would still be on my own
And not knowing where I'm going just rambling on and on
But I'm not running anymore
No more chasing down the sun
The moment I looked in your eyes I knew you were the one
Oh your velvet chains have taken my heart for sure
And baby it's a sweet surrender
I'm not running anymore
Till you helped me I was never any free
Wrapped here in your love is right where I want to be
No I'm not running anymore
No more chasing down the sun
The moment I looked in your eyes I knew you were the one
Oh your velvet chains have taken my heart for sure
And baby it's a sweet surrender
I'm not running anymore
I'm not running anymore
Wild as a mountain stream
Rush all to the sea
Well I was restless and I was reckless
Trying to stay free
I swore that no one would hold me very long
But in your arms I found the place where I belonged
Now I'm not running anymore
No more chasing down the sun
The moment I looked in your eyes I knew you were the one
Oh your velvet chains have taken my heart for sure
And baby it's a sweet surrender
I'm not running anymore
The clouds rolled by
In the blue summer sky
And I watched them disappear
Cause I'm satisfied and finally life is right
Well you make it all so clear
If you hadn't saved me I would still be on my own
And not knowing where I'm going just rambling on and on
But I'm not running anymore
No more chasing down the sun
The moment I looked in your eyes I knew you were the one
Oh your velvet chains have taken my heart for sure
And baby it's a sweet surrender
I'm not running anymore
Till you helped me I was never any free
Wrapped here in your love is right where I want to be
No I'm not running anymore
No more chasing down the sun
The moment I looked in your eyes I knew you were the one
Oh your velvet chains have taken my heart for sure
And baby it's a sweet surrender
I'm not running anymore
I'm not running anymore

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
