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.
Tonight's the night
Better make it fast 'cause it feels alright
This is the time
You know 'cause it's all he said
It's nothing like the sun
It's better than the moon that shimmers so nice
It's prettier than your eyes
Even though they're little stars
Get it on
You make it feel alright
Break her heart
You know you can
She'll feel like hell
But why should you care
My god you don't even mind, yeah
Don't even mind, yeah
It works again
You know how to get her this far
Thought you were soulmates
Well, how foolish can you be
She doesn't make it too hard
She rather be too fast instead of losing you
She probably knows she'll regret
But that doesn't matter now
Get it on
You make it feel alright
Break her heart
You know you can
She'll feel like hell
But why should you care
My god you don't even mind, yeah
Don't even mind, yeah
Get it on now
Just make it fast, it feels alright
Be the only one
And if that is what she thinks
Disappoint her
God, you don't even mind
Break her heart now
You did
He took you home, yeah
That's how fast you let it come
Be the only one
Well what do you really think
You are lost now
And who really is to blame
He broke your heart, yeah, he did
Get it on
You make it feel alright
Break her heart
You know you can
She'll feel like hell
But why should you care
My god you don't even mind, yeah
Don't even mind, yeah
Get it on
You make it feel alright
Break her heart
You know you can
She'll feel like hell
But why should you care
My god you don't even mind, yeah
Don't even mind, yeah
Better make it fast 'cause it feels alright
This is the time
You know 'cause it's all he said
It's nothing like the sun
It's better than the moon that shimmers so nice
It's prettier than your eyes
Even though they're little stars
Get it on
You make it feel alright
Break her heart
You know you can
She'll feel like hell
But why should you care
My god you don't even mind, yeah
Don't even mind, yeah
It works again
You know how to get her this far
Thought you were soulmates
Well, how foolish can you be
She doesn't make it too hard
She rather be too fast instead of losing you
She probably knows she'll regret
But that doesn't matter now
Get it on
You make it feel alright
Break her heart
You know you can
She'll feel like hell
But why should you care
My god you don't even mind, yeah
Don't even mind, yeah
Get it on now
Just make it fast, it feels alright
Be the only one
And if that is what she thinks
Disappoint her
God, you don't even mind
Break her heart now

My god you don't even mind, yeah
Don't even mind, yeah

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.
