Il y avait des temps et des temps
Qu'je n'm'étais pas servi d'mes dents
Qu'je n'mettais pas d'vin dans mon eau
Ni de charbon dans mon fourneau
Tous les croque-morts, silencieux
Me dévoraient déjà des yeux
Ma dernière heure allait sonner
C'est alors que j'ai mal tourné

N'y allant pas par quatre chemins
J'estourbis en un tournemain
En un coup de bûche excessif
Un noctambule en or massif
Les chats fourrés, quand ils l'ont su
M'ont posé la patte dessus
Pour m'envoyer à la Santé
Me refaire une honnêteté

Machin, Chose, Un tel, Une telle
Tous ceux du commun des mortels
Furent d'avis que j'aurais dû
En bonne justice être pendu
À la lanterne et sur-le-champ
Y s'voyaient déjà partageant
Ma corde, en tout bien, tout honneur
En guise de porte-bonheur

Au bout d'un siècle, on m'a jeté
À la porte de la Santé
Comme je suis sentimental
Je retourne au quartier natal
Baissant le nez, rasant les murs
Mal à l'aise sur mes fémurs
M'attendant à voir les humains
Se détourner de mon chemin

Y en a un qui m'a dit "salut!"
"Te revoir, on n'y comptait plus"
Y en a un qui m'a demandé
Des nouvelles de ma santé
Lors, j'ai vu qu'il restait encore
Du monde et du beau monde sur terre
Et j'ai pleuré, le cul par terre
Toutes les larmes de mon corps

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.
