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.
eternal life is now on my trail
got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
while all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
you better turn around
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
racist everyman, what have you done?
man, you've made a killer of your unborn son...
crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
all i want to do is love everyone...
and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
you better turn around
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal....
there's no time for hatred, only questions
what is love, where is happiness, what is life, where is peace?
when will I find the strength to bring me release?
and tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
and i've get a message for you and your twisted hell
you better turn around
and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal, angel...
got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
while all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
you better turn around
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
racist everyman, what have you done?
man, you've made a killer of your unborn son...
crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
all i want to do is love everyone...
and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
you better turn around
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal....
there's no time for hatred, only questions
what is love, where is happiness, what is life, where is peace?
when will I find the strength to bring me release?
and tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
and i've get a message for you and your twisted hell
you better turn around
and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal, angel...

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.

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.
