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.
I kicks the flava, like Steven King writes horror
If I was a Jew then I'd light a menorah
I got rhymes for ya, excuse me, senora
Are you a whore or are you a lady?
Is it Erica Boyare or Marcia Brady?
Let me know hon, the deed'll get done
Just assume the position
I'll take my rod and then I'll go fishin'
I'll get your river flowin', I'm always in the knowin'
When it comes to givin' pleasure
I'm every woman's treasure
I came to work your body, so let me do my job
I've never been laid off, my rhymin' skill paid off
'Cause now I'm makin' records, now I'm makin' tapes
Steady bustin' suckers in bunches like grapes
Makin' all the papes, scoopin' up the loot
Puttin' suckers on the run, pull my gun and then I shoot
I never been a front, I never a fraud
I got a natural skill, for that, I thank the Lord
'Cause I feel blessed, I'm casually dressed
I always got my gun but I never wear a vest
I'm quick on the draw like the horse named McGraw
From the cartoon "Boom Sha Lock Lock"
Boom sha lock lock boom
Alright now
Boom sha lock lock boom
A little louder
Boom sha lock lock boom
Everybody
Boom sha lock lock boom
Alright now
Breaker, breaker, here comes the caper
Straight with the taper, the lyric skyscraper
Hit ya like the lyrical murderer
I know ya think I have but, yo, I never heard of ya
Just because you heard of me, kid
Fuck around with D, you do the lifetime bid
I'll put you in the dirt and leave your ass for dead
When it comes to tools, T's the sharpest in the shed
'Cause I'm the 55 Cadillac king
It ain't no thing, my cargo ring
We'll bust you in the grill
I got the skill, you gots to chill
'Cause I bring doom
I got the boom sha lock lock boom
Boom sha lock lock boom
Alright now
Boom sha lock lock boom
A little louder
Boom sha lock lock boom
Everybody
Boom sha lock lock boom
Alright now
I rock mad styles, I hop turnstiles
I rock all mikes, I last all night
I puff fat blunts, I rock fine stunts
Step up bold, I'll knock out your gold fronts
Everlast, that's my name
My unique rhyme style's my claim to fame
The House Of Pain's the name of my clique
You can't be down, punk, get off my dick
You make me sick, like Strawberry Quik
Your style is wack, you ain't the mack
So yo, step back, get off the crack
And sing a new tune like, "Boom sha lock lock boom"
Boom sha lock lock boom
Alright now
Boom sha lock lock boom
A little louder
Boom sha lock lock boom
Everybody
Boom sha lock lock boom
Alright now
Boom sha lock lock boom
Alright now
Boom sha lock lock boom
A little louder
Boom sha lock lock boom
Everybody
Boom sha lock lock boom
Alright now

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I can't decide if these rhymes are good or bad. Either way, I like the song.
