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.
Lay down all those instruments of navigation,
'Cause we're already lost.
And maybe we
Will come apart at the seams.
Am I losing you?
Are you losing me?
Are you losing me?
Are you losing me?
So lay down all those instruments of navigation.
'Cause we're already lost.
And maybe we
Will fall apart at the seams?
Am I through with you?
Have you had enough of me?
Are you losing me?
Are you losing me?
I waited up all night
And my thoughts were all of desolation.
But the best part
Of waiting up all night
Was in the morning
When I didn't feel a thing.
I woke up this morning
And he had already gone.
(There's his keys where he left them)
And how did he
Even need someone to be
The one for him?
I thought he was the one for me.
Is he losing me?
Is he losing me?
And I waited up all night.
And my thoughts were all of desolation.
But the best part of waiting up all night
Was in the morning when I didn't feel a thing.
But the best part of waiting up all night
Was in the morning when
I didn't feel a thing.
I didn't feel a thing.
'Cause we're already lost.
And maybe we
Will come apart at the seams.
Am I losing you?
Are you losing me?
Are you losing me?
Are you losing me?
So lay down all those instruments of navigation.
'Cause we're already lost.
And maybe we
Will fall apart at the seams?
Am I through with you?
Have you had enough of me?
Are you losing me?
Are you losing me?
I waited up all night
And my thoughts were all of desolation.
But the best part
Of waiting up all night
Was in the morning
When I didn't feel a thing.
I woke up this morning
And he had already gone.
(There's his keys where he left them)
And how did he
Even need someone to be
The one for him?
I thought he was the one for me.
Is he losing me?
Is he losing me?
And I waited up all night.
And my thoughts were all of desolation.
But the best part of waiting up all night
Was in the morning when I didn't feel a thing.
But the best part of waiting up all night
Was in the morning when
I didn't feel a thing.
I didn't feel a thing.

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.
