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.
Only in dreams girl am I part of your world
My heart it screams or so it seems
Only in dreams
Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams
Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams
Only in dreams girl where my crime goes unheard
What does it mean to fly the scene
Only in dreams girl
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
Only in dreams I'm in dopamine time
It's in my genes, it get's extreme
Only in dreams
How did I dream you
You're the queen of steel dunes
Look what you done my colors run
When ever you come to
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
On the rooftop we can feel the drop
She bathes in the moon while the shadows watch
I should be nervous but my eyes forget
I don't want to wake up
I'm not gonna wake up
I don't want to wake up
Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams
Don't want to wake up
Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams
Don't want to wake up
Dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
My heart it screams or so it seems
Only in dreams
Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams
Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams
Only in dreams girl where my crime goes unheard
What does it mean to fly the scene
Only in dreams girl
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
Only in dreams I'm in dopamine time
It's in my genes, it get's extreme
Only in dreams
How did I dream you
You're the queen of steel dunes
Look what you done my colors run
When ever you come to
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up
On the rooftop we can feel the drop
She bathes in the moon while the shadows watch
I should be nervous but my eyes forget
I don't want to wake up
I'm not gonna wake up
I don't want to wake up
Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams
Don't want to wake up
Only in my in my dreams only in my dreams
Don't want to wake up
Dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams

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.
