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.
Day in day I'll keep it out of sight
Things we do without a thought
It never has to end
Draw deadlines, entertain yourself
There's no room for none else
Just leave the world outside
Now do we even care
We all just walk around in a daze
Not knowing what it's all about
Now baby, wouldn't it be great?
If we could turn it all around
Careless people, we'll remind you
We're loosing grip and need a shift
There's no easy way out
Some will tell you that there's nothing gone
Just get on, we'll watch you on
It never has to end
Now do we even care
We all just walk around in a daze
Not knowing what it's all about
Now baby, wouldn't it be great?
If we could turn it all around
One controls all that he sees
But you like to see me crawling
What his body wants to be
But it feels just only falling
Down, once in paradise
One searches his way back home
And I said
What is cool
What is time
What is sport
What is crime
What is death
What is hiding
I'll wake up in time
We all are lost inside the maze
We can find our way home
Not baby, wouldn't it be great?
If we could turn it all around
All around, all around
Turn it all around
All around, all around
Things we do without a thought
It never has to end
Draw deadlines, entertain yourself
There's no room for none else
Just leave the world outside
Now do we even care
We all just walk around in a daze
Not knowing what it's all about
Now baby, wouldn't it be great?
If we could turn it all around
Careless people, we'll remind you
We're loosing grip and need a shift
There's no easy way out
Some will tell you that there's nothing gone
Just get on, we'll watch you on
It never has to end
Now do we even care
We all just walk around in a daze
Not knowing what it's all about
Now baby, wouldn't it be great?
If we could turn it all around
One controls all that he sees
But you like to see me crawling
What his body wants to be
But it feels just only falling
Down, once in paradise
One searches his way back home
And I said
What is cool
What is time
What is sport
What is crime
What is death
What is hiding
I'll wake up in time
We all are lost inside the maze
We can find our way home
Not baby, wouldn't it be great?
If we could turn it all around
All around, all around
Turn it all around
All around, all around

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
