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.
Your grind?! Yeah yeah!
You're charged with possess in other people property
Yes, your honor
I'm guilty of "charged"
But you know what?!
Let me tell you a story, alright! Yo-yo-yo!
She wanna be down
With me everyday
And she no want nobody in her way
Say she don't want a clown
She do what I say
And I would never ever lead her a stray.
She wanna be down
With me everyday
And she no want nobody in her way
Say she don't want a clown
Today is going away
So your grind, it is the road that I play
That's why me go stop that
Cause the boy left the gal
Gone work pon the laptop
Talk about him have hot job
Soon get a promotion
Reach all the top notch
Me give her the broke back
Me give her the style
Make the neck get crock back
Broke up to the work shop
Mash up everything pon all the shelf and work-not.
And when she a beg stop
Still put it on cause dutty never yet flop
Me a tell her say guess what
We done know the bed
Make her move to the desktop
And all the little rest pot
Catch up her bed
Get ready for the next lap
Her leg them flex back
She want me to give
Her it straight and bless that.
She wanna be down
With me everyday
And she no want nobody in her way
Say she don't want a clown
She do what I say
And I would never ever lead her a stray.
She wanna be down
With me everyday
And she no want nobody in her way
Say she don't want a clown
Today is going away
So your grind, it is the road that I play
So we stay with the you La Lay

Just to get my attention
So she just have flown it

Stinking about what she can do to satisfy your yearning
She keep it burning like a flame
And so eternal do the same
Stirring the pant

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
