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.
It's exciting
In the beginning
The first four weeks
When you f*ck five times a day
But something happens
It all starts slipping
You chew off your own arm
Just to get away
It's not you
And it's not me
I'd rather play Halo on my t.v.
It's no defence but it's all I've got to say
Well Tommy got tired of Pamela
Ed got tired of Selma
Puffy got tired of Jlo and Ben did too
Heff gets tired of the playboy girl
Someone's even tired of Miss Nude World
I'm just tired of you
I can remember
In the beginning
When you were Wonder Woman
With a cape
Then something happened
And the walls started closing in
And I would have shot myself just to escape
Its not you
And its not me
We're just not singing in harmony
It's no defence but its all I got to say
Well Tommy got tired of Pamela
Ed got tired of Selma
Puffy got tired of Jlo and Ben did too
Heff gets tired of the playboy girl
Someone's even tired of Miss Nude World
I'm just tired of you
Someday I'll find the one
She'll be my best friend
And make me com-
-plete
She'll love everything that I like to do
And when I find her
I'll take two
(bridge)
Well Tommy got tired of Pamela
Ed got tired of Selma
Puffy got tired of Jlo and Ben did too
Heff gets tired of the playboy girl
Someone's even tired of Miss Nude World
I'm just tired of you
(So tired of you
Tired of)
And I'm just tired of you
(So tired of you , tired of)
And I'm just tired of you.

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Tommy Lee and Joel Madden? Odd combination, but it works well.
I refuse to believe that anyone could get tired of Pamela Anderson. ;-)
My interpretation is that a guy thought he had found the perfect woman, but then she turns out to not to be what he thought, and he is trying to find any reason not to spend time with her. I have been there too many times in the past...and it ain't fun.
No, I'm quite sure it's not fun having sex with beautiful people:) <br /> <br /> Here's hoping the singer finds who he's looking for. There's always another season. I wish him well, and I mean that...for most people need love (and sex) in their lives. Good song.
