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.
This next one
Is dedicated to all the stoners in the house!!!
The ones that smoke the weeedaa
Hydroponic is on
Mother nature supreme step back and dream the hydroponic scene
Found around knocked out of bounds wound into the mind of my stone cloud
Taste the thinnest of oxygen rising higher a stoner cus I can groove something
Wrecking nothing to prove see that's in my nature
So fresh, the vital bud of the chronic tastes of something thicker
Everything I eat is from the Earth, right
I am what I eat straight up Earth, right
Nothing but a walking sack of Earth nice to meet you how do ya do
Guess what. Ya you're one too
My skin holds me in my brain moves me then boom
I jump straight off the speaker in a form a celebration that we're moving
Freely disconnected I'm truly grateful I'm going back the Earth
I'm not gonna waste life being hateful
Jumpin' out my skin
The skin I'm in
And the hydroponics' on
Did it because we want to toke up until it's gone an abstract notion
Here to connect me to the ocean
'Cause I'm water and carbon and not much else I felt compunction
Conjunction junction what's your function
I'll be hookin' ups verbs and nouns and phrases and clauses as to the causes
Of misery quizzically I look to my own book hooked on trying to fathom
The solar systems and atom in a larger molecule
called a galaxy cool
The milky way is where I stay
Astronomy steppin' stompin' a pow wow I rock the mike and shake up the ground
And I'm a bust out like wild dandelions in fat bloom
I'm shooting through the cosmos because I loom
you know I'm higher I'm shining brighter
yes yes
Like where water comes together with other water foamin'
Now I'm Homin'
Like a bird soarin' right to the mood
I'm a wildflower busting out I go boom
Jumpin' out my skin
The skin I'm in
And the hydroponics' on
Jumpin' out my skin
The skin I'm in
And the hydroponics' on
Is dedicated to all the stoners in the house!!!
The ones that smoke the weeedaa
Hydroponic is on
Mother nature supreme step back and dream the hydroponic scene
Found around knocked out of bounds wound into the mind of my stone cloud
Taste the thinnest of oxygen rising higher a stoner cus I can groove something
Wrecking nothing to prove see that's in my nature
So fresh, the vital bud of the chronic tastes of something thicker
Everything I eat is from the Earth, right
I am what I eat straight up Earth, right
Nothing but a walking sack of Earth nice to meet you how do ya do
Guess what. Ya you're one too
My skin holds me in my brain moves me then boom

Freely disconnected I'm truly grateful I'm going back the Earth

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
After about 5 bong rips I crank this up and when they hit the chorus its like being in a diffrent universe for me
