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.
Just charge it to my account
I hope I haven't gone over my limit
With interest rates so swift
No need to scream and shout
No doubt if women are from Venus now
I'll get to them somehow
All I want to do is please you
Please myself by living my life too
And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on how I feel about you
How I feel about
All the stupid things I do have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you baby
How I feel about you
Oh yes I recall
Skipping on breakfast to play basketball
Then feeling two feet small
Sometimes you read like William Shakes
Your scent is sweet like Betty Crocker bakes
I'd love to have your cake and eat it to
All I want to do is please you
Please myself by living my life too
And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on how I feel about you
How I feel about
All the stupid things I do have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you baby
How I feel about you baby yeah
And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on how I feel about you
How I feel about
Oh how I feel about you
How I feel about you yeah
I hope I haven't gone over my limit
With interest rates so swift
No need to scream and shout
No doubt if women are from Venus now
I'll get to them somehow
All I want to do is please you
Please myself by living my life too
And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on how I feel about you
How I feel about
All the stupid things I do have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you baby
How I feel about you
Oh yes I recall
Skipping on breakfast to play basketball
Then feeling two feet small
Sometimes you read like William Shakes
Your scent is sweet like Betty Crocker bakes
I'd love to have your cake and eat it to
All I want to do is please you
Please myself by living my life too
And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on how I feel about you
How I feel about
All the stupid things I do have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you baby
How I feel about you baby yeah
And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on how I feel about you
How I feel about
Oh how I feel about you
How I feel about you yeah

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.
I think of the song every time I screw up with my girlfriend. You care about someone but sometimes your actions don't reflect it. At times your brain does one thing when your heart means another. The song is so melancholy .... I think he wrote this song after screwing up really bad and remorse/guilt hits him like a ton of bricks. I think every person has a moment like this. If you listen to the end the last chords sound like it ends postive like " I am sorry please forgive me I will try to do better"...almost more upbeat than the rest of the song. Maybe it represents that hope for the future...hope that you will eventually be better
