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.
Fear and a little pity
But still, still so pretty
That's how it is in exile
Never understanding why
Laughing at her very name
They follow her to this very day
When someone has a nice thing to say
She will never know escape
She was a crazy little girl
Who would never fit in,
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
Isn't that what you said?
And he saw it
When no one else did
She bent down to kiss him
When he'd never been kissed
Forget the awful way she treated him
And only remember that once
She had no one else but him
Maybe that explains it
She was a crazy little girl
Who would never fit in,
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
Isn't that what you said?
And everyone hated her
Everyone, except for him
Was it something she said?
Was it all in her head?
And like a movie, they're all together in the end
Who knows why one separates?
And flies away or dies
Who knows why? Who knows why? Who knows why?
She was a crazy little girl
Who would never fit in,
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
Isn't that what you said?
And he won't speak to her now
Like they're on opposite sides
But love has no regrets, right?
And neither does she, except at night
But it's strange when you think of it
You are one and one is two
When all along one was
Secretly, secretly for you
She was a crazy little girl
Who would never fit in,
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
Isn't that what you said?
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
Isn't that what you said?
But still, still so pretty
That's how it is in exile
Never understanding why
Laughing at her very name
They follow her to this very day
When someone has a nice thing to say
She will never know escape
She was a crazy little girl
Who would never fit in,
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
Isn't that what you said?
And he saw it
When no one else did
She bent down to kiss him
When he'd never been kissed
Forget the awful way she treated him
And only remember that once
She had no one else but him
Maybe that explains it
She was a crazy little girl
Who would never fit in,
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
Isn't that what you said?
And everyone hated her
Everyone, except for him
Was it something she said?
Was it all in her head?
And like a movie, they're all together in the end
Who knows why one separates?
And flies away or dies
Who knows why? Who knows why? Who knows why?
She was a crazy little girl
Who would never fit in,
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
Isn't that what you said?
And he won't speak to her now
Like they're on opposite sides
But love has no regrets, right?
And neither does she, except at night
But it's strange when you think of it
You are one and one is two
When all along one was
Secretly, secretly for you
She was a crazy little girl
Who would never fit in,
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
Isn't that what you said?
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
"Crazy little girl who would never fit in,"
Isn't that what you said?

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.
