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.
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
You're wading knee deep and going in
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker
I hope it sucks you down
Down, down, down, down
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
And you may never come back again
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker
I hope it sucks you down
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
And you may never come back again
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker
I hope it sucks, I hope it suck, I hope it suck
You fucker
I hope it sucks, I hope it suck, I hope it suck down
Wandering around got you in
No one even invited you
And you still stumble and suffocate, suffocate
Why don't you get out while you can?
Wandering around got you in
No one even invited you
And you still stumble and suffocate, suffocate
Why don't you get out while you can?
No one told you to care
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
And you may never come back again
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid, belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumbass, belligerent fucker
I hope it sucks
I hope it sucks
I hope it sucks you fucker
I hope it sucks
I hope it sucks
I hope it sucks you
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
You're wading knee deep and going in
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker
I hope it sucks you down
Down, down, down, down
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
And you may never come back again
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker
I hope it sucks you down

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I believe the resaon maynard does that is because he wants his fans to understand that the music is not all about him, he wants his fans to appreciate every entire aspects of the music instead of focusing on him. Dont take it personally :)
