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.
Alice Cooper - Guilty
Just tried to have fun
Raise hell and then some
I'm a dirt talkin', beer drinkin' woman chasing minister's son
Slap on the makeup
Blast out the music
Wake up the neighbors with a roar
like a teenage heavy metal elephant gun.
If you call that Guilty,..
Then that's what I am
I'm Guilty,..I'm Guilty!
Like driving too fast
Love going too far
It seems the law's on my ass every time
I stick it out of the door
If you call that guilty,
Then that's what I am!
I'm guilty,..I'm guilty
Bad boy on a summer night
When the heat makes me mean and I want to fight
Put my pedal on the metal and I do what I want to do
Bad girls make me feel all right
When it's hot and they start screamin' in the night
Golly Gee, it's wrong to be,..
so guilty! (I'm guilty)
My conscience is on vacation
In acute degeneration
Willpower has sunk to an all time low
If you call that guilty.,.
Well then I guess I am..
[Repeat: x2]
I'm guilty,..I'm guilty!
I'm guilty,..and I don't care,..
I'm guilty, and I think I've been framed anyway,...

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.
