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 trying to get back to the day
When my bitch (alt: miss) came running
From the dead end way
Holding her close in my arms
And my world was doing fine
It's fading away, breaking away as I try
To sell her lies.
But now I feel you again
And you lift me as I climb
Over the pains, over the chains of my mind
Where freedom springs from the well of my heart
And the love shines through as it kisses the dark
And the peace smiles up the frown
In true sound
Now I'm trying to roll with the day
As my love keeps running
From the dead end way
Oh touch I've got to feel you again
And you lift me as I climb
Over the pains, over the chains of my mind
Where freedom springs from the well of my heart
Where the love shines through as it kisses the dark
And the peace smiles up the frown
In true sound
When my bitch (alt: miss) came running
From the dead end way
Holding her close in my arms
And my world was doing fine
It's fading away, breaking away as I try
To sell her lies.
But now I feel you again
And you lift me as I climb
Over the pains, over the chains of my mind
Where freedom springs from the well of my heart
And the love shines through as it kisses the dark
And the peace smiles up the frown
In true sound
Now I'm trying to roll with the day
As my love keeps running
From the dead end way
Oh touch I've got to feel you again
And you lift me as I climb
Over the pains, over the chains of my mind
Where freedom springs from the well of my heart
Where the love shines through as it kisses the dark
And the peace smiles up the frown
In true sound

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.

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.
