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.
I'm gonna give you what you need
I'm gonna make your ears bleed
Rock'n roll, rock'n roll, I'm the king of rock'n roll
I'm gonna give you what you want
A jigely wigely jigely wigely jigely wigely show
Rock'n roll, rock'n roll, I'm the king of rock'n roll
(vamos Danny)
They call me the white bombo
A rock'n roll rebel inna Babylon
Rock'n roll, rock'n roll, I'm the king of rock'n roll
I'm gonna make your ears bleed
Rock'n roll, rock'n roll, I'm the king of rock'n roll
I'm gonna give you what you want
A jigely wigely jigely wigely jigely wigely show
Rock'n roll, rock'n roll, I'm the king of rock'n roll
(vamos Danny)
They call me the white bombo
A rock'n roll rebel inna Babylon
Rock'n roll, rock'n roll, I'm the king of rock'n roll

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.

catchy hehe
haha yeah totally catchy! i've been obsessed with this song ever since i saw viva la bam! but who is this daniel guy? he only has like ten songs! whats with him?
Onomatopoeia- Daniel Lioneye is Linde Lindstrom (guitar player of HIM) . It was a side project done by Linde Mige and Ville during between (not for sure) Razorblade Romance and Deep Shadows and Brillant Highlights albums. They only made one album and completed it all with a few days. You should get the album--its good entertainment.
also from 01:46 in the background theyre yelling "He's the king of rock and roll" over and over most of the time
actually, it was in the process of them recording deep shadows and brilliant highlights. about half of the songs were done, and in their free time, they wanted to try something different. it's ville on drums, mige on bass, and linde on guitar and vocals. it's actually a really good album, if you like older rock.
oh, and RFOAT, you're probably the 500th person to notice that. congratulations. (:
