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.
There's a cold voice on the air,
You've been looking everywhere,
Someone to understand your hopes and fears,
Well I've thought about that for many long years.
So I walk through Manser's Shaw
I don't see you anymore,
We love to think about the way things were,
But the time has come and I'm glad it's over.
I don't know why I waste my time,
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day,
You know sometimes I feel like I'm,
Getting snowded under with the things you say,
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day.
Now you think that you're alone,
So you make your way back home,
I'd love to greet the weary traveller,
But your time has gone and I'm glad it's over.
I don't know why I waste my time,
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day,
You know sometimes I feel like I'm,
Getting snowed under with the things you say,
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day.
I don't know why I waste my time,
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day,
You know sometimes I feel like I'm,
Getting snowed under with the things you say,
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day.
You've been looking everywhere,
Someone to understand your hopes and fears,
Well I've thought about that for many long years.
So I walk through Manser's Shaw
I don't see you anymore,
We love to think about the way things were,
But the time has come and I'm glad it's over.
I don't know why I waste my time,
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day,
You know sometimes I feel like I'm,
Getting snowded under with the things you say,
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day.
Now you think that you're alone,
So you make your way back home,
I'd love to greet the weary traveller,
But your time has gone and I'm glad it's over.
I don't know why I waste my time,
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day,
You know sometimes I feel like I'm,
Getting snowed under with the things you say,
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day.
I don't know why I waste my time,
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day,
You know sometimes I feel like I'm,
Getting snowed under with the things you say,
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day.

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.

Hey this is my first time posting...So here goes... Well I think this song is pretty easy to understand and to relate to. Its about a guy who likes a girl (wow big suprise) and he's probably known her for some time now and has been obsessing over her. Then one fine day he realises the futility of everything and that he should just move on... Well thts my take on it...wht do u think?
