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.
Today could be a lot of fun
And precious one
I'd feel good just to walk with you
Tonight will be a special treat
You're so sweet
And I feel good just to talk with you
You know that I been a long time needing you
You say that you been a long time needing me
And don't you know that there's so much more to come
I got a heart that just won't stop beating for you
I got a love I just can't stop feeling for you
Aren't you glad now darling there's me and you
(tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad with these days comes somethin' new
(tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad now tell me you're so glad
[me and you]
(doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Today is another day
Another way to get this feeling across to you
Tonight will be another night
That's outta sight cause I know the way to get close to you
You know that I'll be a long time loving you
I hope that you'll be a long time loving me
And don't you know that there's so much more to come
I got a heart that just won't stop beating for you
I got a love I just can't stop feeling for you
Aren't you glad now darling there's me and you
(tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad with these days comes summer
(tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad now tell me you're so glad
[me and you]
And precious one
I'd feel good just to walk with you
Tonight will be a special treat
You're so sweet
And I feel good just to talk with you
You know that I been a long time needing you
You say that you been a long time needing me
And don't you know that there's so much more to come
I got a heart that just won't stop beating for you
I got a love I just can't stop feeling for you
Aren't you glad now darling there's me and you
(tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad with these days comes somethin' new
(tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad now tell me you're so glad
[me and you]
(doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Today is another day

And I say aren't you glad with these days comes summer
(tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad now tell me you're so glad
[me and you]

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.

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.
