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.
Verse 1:
Now tell me this
What u fucking with the lames for girl?
Scoop u up out the night and take u to my world
Shotgun shells, Beer cans, and straw
In the heavy chevy swear body put to the floor
Were matching hard down the dirt road dirty and bald
Eyeballs fire-red, hot breath ice-cold
You with a killer from the cold if u aint been told
Holdin hands with the dead and we'll never grow old
I dont intend to harm u
Walk into the barn
You can sit on my face
Cuz i wouldnt mind the taste
I dont know about them fellas that u callin yo' friends
Might have to stick 'em in the face with a pitchfork end
We can walk along in the dark on Butler Bridge
Have your pussy hole spittin' out 15 kids
Bitch i was raised by the crows
And I've choosen you
So milk this muthafuckin dickhole bitch is what u do
Chorus (2x's)
It aint a thang girl
They must've not have told ya
I can take u to the underground of Georgia
It aint a thang girl
They must've not have told ya
We can fly together girl
And find a better world
Verse 2:
The SkareCrow is watching u
I know ya heard the story
I know u see my head turning
Bitch dont ignore me
You in the boons
And we the only food for miles
Whatcha' pretty self doing out here all alone out here wilin'
Girl u lookin for the killer of the cotton fields
I walked through death and back you wonder how that fucking feels
Girl i recon that u wanna do the dance
Take my dick out my pants im giving u the chance
The sherrif aint come out here in many moons
Nothing but the crickets and the scream of the loons
You can be the one ridin shotgun in the pick up
Getting shot in the neck with me during the stick up
Hook 1:
We can fly together girl
and find a better world
im here to show u what the fuck is going on baby
We can fly together girl
and find a better world
girl if u the shit i know u coming along baby
Chorus (2x's)
Hook 2:
And im going down south with ya
Girl we headed down south
And im going down south with ya
Yea we headed down south
Chorus 'till end
Now tell me this
What u fucking with the lames for girl?
Scoop u up out the night and take u to my world
Shotgun shells, Beer cans, and straw
In the heavy chevy swear body put to the floor
Were matching hard down the dirt road dirty and bald
Eyeballs fire-red, hot breath ice-cold
You with a killer from the cold if u aint been told
Holdin hands with the dead and we'll never grow old
I dont intend to harm u
Walk into the barn
You can sit on my face
Cuz i wouldnt mind the taste
I dont know about them fellas that u callin yo' friends
Might have to stick 'em in the face with a pitchfork end
We can walk along in the dark on Butler Bridge
Have your pussy hole spittin' out 15 kids
Bitch i was raised by the crows

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
