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.
she looks like a doll, dracula's bride
'cause who dares say hello wouldn't dare say goodbye
he don't care for the trails and he don't stand for the lies
[unknown word(s)] and joyous to look at her pride
but don't get close enough to be that out of mind
she can't get close enough so then left with the tide
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend that might not breathe, yeah
except for her hands, she's full figured and fat
and the neck you would lick only given the chance
she's a cop on a train in a mainstream romance
she's a dainty young lass, she's a bite on the hand
i'll be stuck in a view of you two in a bed
then she's gone for a dream that's been pulled from the string
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend you might not believe, yeah
except for her hands, she's full figured and fat
and the neck you would lick only given the chance
she's a cop on a train in a mainstream romance
she's a dainty young lass, she's a bite on the hand
i'll be stuck in a view of you two in a bed
then she's gone for a dream that's been pulled from the string
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend you might not believe
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend you might not believe, yeah
'cause who dares say hello wouldn't dare say goodbye
he don't care for the trails and he don't stand for the lies
[unknown word(s)] and joyous to look at her pride
but don't get close enough to be that out of mind
she can't get close enough so then left with the tide
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend that might not breathe, yeah
except for her hands, she's full figured and fat
and the neck you would lick only given the chance
she's a cop on a train in a mainstream romance
she's a dainty young lass, she's a bite on the hand
i'll be stuck in a view of you two in a bed
then she's gone for a dream that's been pulled from the string
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely

honestly,
she's got it together so nicely

a living legend you might not believe
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend you might not believe, 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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Not "Pulled from this string" its "Pulled from this dream" I looove this song... I really Wish They'd re release some stuf off Sour.. Makes me sad. :(
