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.
Sleeping through the day 'cause I work all night
Get out the way things are coming alive
Look over there, another fight
I guess I should've seen the warning signs
We could be together
(I'm not looking for a fight)
Change the world forever
(Just wanna make it through the night)
Make it all together
(They're really giving me the...)
Eye-ey-eye-ey-eye-ey-eye
Think I'm gonna loose it, loose it, loose it
Think I'm gonna loose it, loose it, loose it
I think I'm gonna loose it
The walls are growing ears
I'm paranoid
No need to fear what you can't avoid
Don't let 'em in, don't let 'em out
I'll give you something you can scream about
We could be together
(I'm not looking for a fight)
Change the world forever
(Just wanna make it through the night)
Make it all together
(They're really giving me the...)
Eye-ey-eye-ey-eye-ey-eye
Think I'm gonna loose it, loose it, loose it
Think I'm gonna loose it
Think I'm gonna loose it, loose it, loose it
Think I'm gonna loose it
No, no, no nothing's wrong with dreaming
Go, go, go you're dreaming all away
One love, one life, and that's enough to get you through the night
Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day
Hey, hey, hey!
I think I'm gonna loose it, loose it, loose it
I think I'm gonna loose it
I think I'm gonna loose it, loose it, loose it
I think I'm gonna loose it
I think I'm gonna loose it, loose it, loose it
I think I'm gonna loose it
I think I'm gonna loose it, loose it, loose it
I think I'm gonna loose it, loose it, loose it
We could be together
Change the world forever
Make it all together
(They're really giving me the)

Hey, hey, hey!
They come alive when I work the nights
I guess I should've seen the warning signs
Get out the way things are coming alive
Look over there, another fight
I guess I should've seen the warning signs
We could be together
(I'm not looking for a fight)
Change the world forever
(Just wanna make it through the night)

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Tom is trying to chat up a girl, and Danny is paying the price. That’s what the song makes me think. The way Danny sings the lose it part just makes me think dirty things and puts a smile on my face actually ….
