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.
Verse One:
No more castles in the sky
No more building on rocks
Do you hear the whispers flowing by?
Almost feel like angels in the sky
Talking about angels: last night
I felt an angel by my side
And when he spoke?
He told me I would be the one for you
I knew that was the truth ?cause
An angel never lies ? angels never lie
Pre-chorus:
Ah ha aha aha (aha ha)
Ah ha aha aha ? aha aha
Chorus:
I?ll fly away with you today
I?ll fly away with you today
Take my hand lets be bold and find eternity 2x
Verse Two:
The preacher came and we signed our love
And they know we are meant to be (oh oh eah yeah)
They say our eyes speaks a love so true
And I see it too; oh I feel it strong (oh oh eah, yeah)
I know I can trust this heart of mine
I see true love in your eyes
Thanks to you I know the true meaning of love
Pre-chorus:
Ah ha aha aha (aha ha)
Ah ha aha aha ? aha aha
Chorus:
I?ll fly away with you today
I?ll fly away with you today
Take my hand lets be bold and find eternity (till fade)

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.
