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.
evolutions been kind to you
your indeed a bright baboon
howl, moan, and forage for food
under a blood red moon
convulse and spit upon the floor
just swallow that key and close the door
and no one will harm you anymore
you know how much i'd hate to kill you
so has life been kind to you
or do you feel a bit subdued
is your mind for once at ease
are you everything you hoped to be
convulse and spit upon the floor
just swallow that key and close the door
shut up, shut updon't make a sound
we don't wantto have to put you in the ground
CANNIBALS AND CARNIVORES
i'll hang these antlers proudly
my freezer's full of meat
i've down right stumbled on to
the deal of the century
crack a tin of wheat and barley
and now my stomachs full
plenty of porno to cock and bull
mother nature bends you over
then it's over, yes it's over
walking upright with composure
mother nature bends you over
i hold my head up high
from a reclined position
absorb magnetic waves
from a big screen television
feed my x-rated eyes with sweet perverted play
i'm simply passing time all night and everyday
mother nature bends you over
then it's over, yes it's over
walking upright with composure
mother nature bends you over
flooded town will keep you sober
as mother nature bends you over
a cataclysm overturning
resume position, now you're learning
evolutions been kind to you
you're at home in a warm cocoon
submissive and immune
under a blood red moon
convulse and spit upon the floor
just swallow that key and close the door
and no one will harm you anymore
you know how much i'd hate to kill you
your indeed a bright baboon
howl, moan, and forage for food
under a blood red moon
convulse and spit upon the floor
just swallow that key and close the door
and no one will harm you anymore
you know how much i'd hate to kill you
so has life been kind to you
or do you feel a bit subdued
is your mind for once at ease
are you everything you hoped to be
convulse and spit upon the floor
just swallow that key and close the door
shut up, shut updon't make a sound
we don't wantto have to put you in the ground
CANNIBALS AND CARNIVORES
i'll hang these antlers proudly
my freezer's full of meat
i've down right stumbled on to
the deal of the century
crack a tin of wheat and barley
and now my stomachs full
plenty of porno to cock and bull
mother nature bends you over
then it's over, yes it's over
walking upright with composure
mother nature bends you over
i hold my head up high
from a reclined position
absorb magnetic waves
from a big screen television
feed my x-rated eyes with sweet perverted play
i'm simply passing time all night and everyday
mother nature bends you over
then it's over, yes it's over
walking upright with composure
mother nature bends you over
flooded town will keep you sober
as mother nature bends you over
a cataclysm overturning
resume position, now you're learning
evolutions been kind to you
you're at home in a warm cocoon
submissive and immune
under a blood red moon
convulse and spit upon the floor
just swallow that key and close the door
and no one will harm you anymore
you know how much i'd hate to kill 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.
