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.
The year is 3468,
And they're about to eliminate,
Life as we all know it on Planet Earth,
They're products of a new regime,
With manufactured designer genes,
Scientifically enhanced at birth,
Superior in almost every way,
With telepathic DNA,
They'll hunt you down there's nowhere you can hide,
Created for the killing machine,
Proto-nuclear human beings,
We must help to prevent this genocide,
Have we created, our own demise,
Their out to kill, using their minds,
You'll feel the chill, run down your spine,
Tell me, since when has being human been a crime?,
Gonna hunt you, gonna get you, Your time is up,
It seems the time has come for the human race,
Gone for good, vanishing without a trace,
Cerebroids are silencing their cries,
The clones are trying to assist evolution,
Through state sponsored executions,
Will nothing stop this evil enterprise?,
Until the day a leader emerges,
With mind powers like electric surges,
He'll give us hope, he'll teach us how to fight,
A clash of arms with the enemy,
And outcome no can forsee,
Let's pray they can't withstand our human right,
Have we created, our own demise,
Their out to kill, using their minds,
You'll feel the chill, run down your spine,
Tell me, since when has being human been a crime?,
Gonna hunt you, gonna get you, Your time is up,
Have we created, our own demise,
Their out to kill, using their minds,
You'll feel the chill, run down your spine,
Tell me, since when has being human been a crime?,
Gonna hunt you, gonna get you, your time is up,
And they're about to eliminate,
Life as we all know it on Planet Earth,
They're products of a new regime,
With manufactured designer genes,
Scientifically enhanced at birth,
Superior in almost every way,
With telepathic DNA,
They'll hunt you down there's nowhere you can hide,
Created for the killing machine,
Proto-nuclear human beings,
We must help to prevent this genocide,
Have we created, our own demise,
Their out to kill, using their minds,
You'll feel the chill, run down your spine,
Tell me, since when has being human been a crime?,
Gonna hunt you, gonna get you, Your time is up,
It seems the time has come for the human race,
Gone for good, vanishing without a trace,
Cerebroids are silencing their cries,
The clones are trying to assist evolution,
Through state sponsored executions,
Will nothing stop this evil enterprise?,
Until the day a leader emerges,
With mind powers like electric surges,
He'll give us hope, he'll teach us how to fight,
A clash of arms with the enemy,
And outcome no can forsee,
Let's pray they can't withstand our human right,
Have we created, our own demise,
Their out to kill, using their minds,
You'll feel the chill, run down your spine,
Tell me, since when has being human been a crime?,
Gonna hunt you, gonna get you, Your time is up,
Have we created, our own demise,
Their out to kill, using their minds,
You'll feel the chill, run down your spine,
Tell me, since when has being human been a crime?,
Gonna hunt you, gonna get you, your time is up,

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.

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.
Is this a new song ?
