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.
Let's go my love
We could go to the cinema
Big effects and big name stars
We could go to that private view
But darling these days
My favorite view is you
Let's just bend the invitation
Leave our bikes down at the station
And lose all sense of direction
I'm going to get lost with you
Yes, we will run
Come get lost with me
Slip away discreetly
You're my love
So come get lost with me
We will run 'til empty
We could stay here 'til closing time
But the drinks are flat
And the price is a crime
We could dance 'til our feet turn red
But the beat's so boring
And I'd rather be home in our bed
This town's skipping like a record
Reruns get me so bored
So with a nothing we can afford
We're gonna get lost again
Yeah, we will run
Come get lost with me
Slip away discreetly
You're my love
So come get lost with me
We will run 'til empty
Let's go
We could go to the cinema
Big effects and big name stars
We could go to that private view
But darling these days
My favorite view is you
Let's just bend the invitation
Leave our bikes down at the station
And lose all sense of direction
I'm going to get lost with you
Yes, we will run
Come get lost with me
Slip away discreetly
You're my love
So come get lost with me
We will run 'til empty
We could stay here 'til closing time
But the drinks are flat
And the price is a crime
We could dance 'til our feet turn red
But the beat's so boring
And I'd rather be home in our bed
This town's skipping like a record
Reruns get me so bored
So with a nothing we can afford
We're gonna get lost again
Yeah, we will run
Come get lost with me
Slip away discreetly
You're my love
So come get lost with me
We will run 'til empty
Let's go

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

patrick wolf is too out of this world!
These lyrics are all off... =/
How do we change them?
But besides that... I love this song so much! Aghhh I listen to it and it just makes me think of skipping out on the world and disappearing into the night.. wonderful.
How I love this song. I hope it gets included on his third album!
oh oh me too me too!
He so sounds like Chet Baker, too.
How I love this man!
i have heard two different explainations for this song - my favourite is from patrick at the union chapel on 19th dec2006. he said it was about being in love with someone and staying in bed with them and doing nothing except be with each other for two years, then it got hot one summer so they decided to move away from the city they were in.
hmm. still very beautiful and looks set to be on the album. x
This is lovely but anyone noticed the real similarity to The Cure's 'Boys Don't Cry'? Not quite in style, obviously, but melody-wise...
the album version is worded a little differently during the chorus and the end.
A lot of the meanings in Patricks songs are what i probably think about every day. Being able to be with someone you love, enjoying time with them, Judging from his songs, he seems to be one of those people that you dream about being with, a person who really would care about the one they are with. Maybe its just me i dont know, but this song to me always cheers me up and gives me hope. I loved this song live, i dont think ive ever had a bigger smile on my face than i did when this song played, hes amazing, and i loved every second being in that room, i didnt want to leave.
I love this, it reminds me of the first few months of a relationship, when you are so enraptured with eachother.. everything can be fun.. when you can stay in bed for days or just run around london doing nothing.. i love it.. it captures the excitement you feel when you're really in love with someone.
