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.
You told me not to put you up on a pedestal, fine
then I'll just sit here and die.
It's all right,
I'll drink another to you,
I'll get in a fight or two,
it doesn't matter with who.
A twenty one year old dream,
now you'll corrupt the whole scene.
I think it's gone far enough, it's all right.
I think you know what I mean,
I think you know what to do,
I think I'm coming with you.
Looking back I never was so right.
A night of fun would do us good tonight.
So here's to losing you,
A toast my love from me to you.
Drink up now, don't be a fool while you're still on my pedestal.
So here's to losing you,
A toast my love from me to you.
Drink up now, don't be a fool while you're still on my pedestal.
So we should go out and dance,
we'll have a night on the town,
turn up the radio loud, it's all right.
You'll drink another to me,
you'll get in a fight or three,
It doesn't matter to me.
A seventeen year old dream,
now we've corrupted the whole scene,
I think we've gone far enough,it's all right
I think you know what I mean,
I think you know what to do,
I think I'm comings with you.
Looking back I never was so right.
A night of fun would do us good tonight.
So here's to losing you,
A toast my love from me to you.
Drink up now, don't be a fool while you're still on my pedestal.
And here's to losing you,
A toast my love from me to you.
Drink up now, don't be a fool while you're still on my pedestal.
then I'll just sit here and die.
It's all right,
I'll drink another to you,
I'll get in a fight or two,
it doesn't matter with who.
A twenty one year old dream,
now you'll corrupt the whole scene.
I think it's gone far enough, it's all right.
I think you know what I mean,
I think you know what to do,
I think I'm coming with you.
Looking back I never was so right.
A night of fun would do us good tonight.
So here's to losing you,
A toast my love from me to you.
Drink up now, don't be a fool while you're still on my pedestal.
So here's to losing you,
A toast my love from me to you.
Drink up now, don't be a fool while you're still on my pedestal.
So we should go out and dance,
we'll have a night on the town,
turn up the radio loud, it's all right.
You'll drink another to me,
you'll get in a fight or three,
It doesn't matter to me.
A seventeen year old dream,
now we've corrupted the whole scene,
I think we've gone far enough,it's all right
I think you know what I mean,
I think you know what to do,
I think I'm comings with you.
Looking back I never was so right.
A night of fun would do us good tonight.
So here's to losing you,
A toast my love from me to you.
Drink up now, don't be a fool while you're still on my pedestal.
And here's to losing you,
A toast my love from me to you.
Drink up now, don't be a fool while you're still on my pedestal.

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.
