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.
Para amarte
Necesito una razón
Y es difícil creer
Que no exista una más que este amor
Sobra tanto
Dentro de este corazón
Que a pesar de que dicen que los años son sabios
Todavía se siente el dolor
Porque todo el tiempo que pasé junto a ti
Dejó tejido su hilo dentro de mí
Y aprendí a quitarle al tiempo los segundos
Tú me hiciste ver el cielo aún más profundo
Junto a ti creo que aumenté más de tres kilos
Con tus tantos dulces besos repartidos
Desarrollaste mi sentido del olfato
Y fue por ti que aprendí a querer los gatos
Despegaste del cemento mis zapatos
Para escapar los dos volando un rato
Pero olvidaste una final instrucción
Porque aún no sé cómo vivir sin tu amor
Y descubrí lo que significa una rosa
Y me enseñaste a decir mentiras piadosas
Para poder verte a horas no adecuadas
Y a reemplazar palabras por miradas
Y fue por ti que escribí más de cien canciones
Y hasta perdoné tus equivocaciones
Y conocí más de mil formas de besar
Y fue por ti que descubrí lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Necesito una razón
Y es difícil creer
Que no exista una más que este amor
Sobra tanto
Dentro de este corazón
Que a pesar de que dicen que los años son sabios
Todavía se siente el dolor
Porque todo el tiempo que pasé junto a ti
Dejó tejido su hilo dentro de mí
Y aprendí a quitarle al tiempo los segundos
Tú me hiciste ver el cielo aún más profundo
Junto a ti creo que aumenté más de tres kilos
Con tus tantos dulces besos repartidos
Desarrollaste mi sentido del olfato
Y fue por ti que aprendí a querer los gatos
Despegaste del cemento mis zapatos
Para escapar los dos volando un rato
Pero olvidaste una final instrucción
Porque aún no sé cómo vivir sin tu amor
Y descubrí lo que significa una rosa
Y me enseñaste a decir mentiras piadosas
Para poder verte a horas no adecuadas
Y a reemplazar palabras por miradas
Y fue por ti que escribí más de cien canciones
Y hasta perdoné tus equivocaciones
Y conocí más de mil formas de besar
Y fue por ti que descubrí lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Lo que es amar
Lo que es amar

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I can't believe you haven't said anything about this song, this is her BESt song ever... it's about saying thank you to that special someone you can't let go because he/she has shown you so much you can't possibly imagine your life without him/her...
"para amarte. necesito una razon... y es dificil creer que no existe una mas que este amor..." - I need a reason to love you..and it's hard to believe that there isn't one but this love...
"Sobra tanto dentro de este corazón que a pesar de que dicen que los años son sabios todavía se siente el dolor" - There's so much inside my heart, and eventhough they say that time is wise I can still feel pain...
If you would like to know the meaning of the entire song, I'll be glad to translate it to you...really, if you haven't heard it you just don't know what you've been missing...
