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.
If you can't stand upon the water I will see you on the ocean floor,
When you blink do you only find the misery between the lines?
Then take my hand and walk with me.
Come to me, your sanctuary,
I'll gladly accept the gift that I've been granted.
If you feel fine, give it just a little time,
I'm sure you'll contract my disease.
-Look what you've done to me now, you've made me perfect, look what you've done to me now..
If you can't stand upon the Earth then I will see you on the other side,
When you blink do you only find the misery weighs down your eyes?
Then take my hand and sleep with me.
-Look what you've done to me now, you've made me perfect, look what you've done to me now..
Take my hand, I'll be everything to you,
Take my hand, I'll take everything from you,
I will seep under your skin, I will,
I will hold onto your heart, I will.
-Look what you've done to me now, you've made me perfect, look what you've done to me now...(x2?)
When you blink do you only find the misery between the lines?
Then take my hand and walk with me.
Come to me, your sanctuary,
I'll gladly accept the gift that I've been granted.
If you feel fine, give it just a little time,
I'm sure you'll contract my disease.
-Look what you've done to me now, you've made me perfect, look what you've done to me now..
If you can't stand upon the Earth then I will see you on the other side,
When you blink do you only find the misery weighs down your eyes?
Then take my hand and sleep with me.
-Look what you've done to me now, you've made me perfect, look what you've done to me now..
Take my hand, I'll be everything to you,
Take my hand, I'll take everything from you,
I will seep under your skin, I will,
I will hold onto your heart, I will.
-Look what you've done to me now, you've made me perfect, look what you've done to me now...(x2?)

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.

Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
Yeah i totally agree with that guy above me.
