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.
It's not that I don't trust you
I just know what you've been up to
And this dial tone is agreeing with everything I've had in mind
And you've got your high as a kite tricks in the bag
So as his eyes move past your shoulders
And the shades start moving in the
Same direction, don't worry, I won't say a thing
And you can't blame a girl for sticking to what she knows
Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
If I could get to sleep then
I guess you could stop pretending
'Cause if I didn't think you loved it
Well then I wouldn't play along and
You've got your high as a kite tricks in the bag
Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb
It's cool 'cause I let you; thought I'd never catch you
You said, "We're only friends", yeah, real good friends, I bet. I bet
You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb
It's cool 'cause I let you; thought I'd never catch you
You'd say, "We're only friends", yeah, real good friends, I bet. I bet
You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb
It's cool 'cause I let you; thought I'd never catch you
You'd say, "We're only friends", yeah, real good friends, I bet. I bet
Forget your legs around my hips
Forget your hands pressed on my back
Forget all the letters that I kept
This is another I won't send
Forget your lips, your eyes, your thighs
Forget our one last kiss goodbye
Forget me staking out your house
This time I've got you figured out
Forget your legs around my hips
Forget your hands pressed on my back
Forget all the letters that I kept
This is another I won't send
I just know what you've been up to
And this dial tone is agreeing with everything I've had in mind
And you've got your high as a kite tricks in the bag
So as his eyes move past your shoulders
And the shades start moving in the
Same direction, don't worry, I won't say a thing
And you can't blame a girl for sticking to what she knows
Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
If I could get to sleep then
I guess you could stop pretending
'Cause if I didn't think you loved it
Well then I wouldn't play along and
You've got your high as a kite tricks in the bag
Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
Hope he takes his time and I
Hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves you still
You smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb
It's cool 'cause I let you; thought I'd never catch you
You said, "We're only friends", yeah, real good friends, I bet. I bet
You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb
It's cool 'cause I let you; thought I'd never catch you
You'd say, "We're only friends", yeah, real good friends, I bet. I bet
You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb
It's cool 'cause I let you; thought I'd never catch you
You'd say, "We're only friends", yeah, real good friends, I bet. I bet
Forget your legs around my hips
Forget your hands pressed on my back
Forget all the letters that I kept
This is another I won't send
Forget your lips, your eyes, your thighs
Forget our one last kiss goodbye
Forget me staking out your house
This time I've got you figured out
Forget your legs around my hips
Forget your hands pressed on my back
Forget all the letters that I kept
This is another I won't send

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.
