I don't wanna waste your time
With music you don't need
Why should I autograph the book
That you won't even read

I got a different scar for every song
And blood left still to bleed
But I don't wanna waste your time
With music you don't need

I don't wanna waste good wine
If you won't stick around
I love to laugh but I'm more than just
Your alcoholic clown

I won't pray this prayer with you
Unless we both kneel down
'Cause I don't wanna waste good wine
If you won't stick around

So, come on lighten up
Let me fill your cup
I'm just trying to imagine a situation
Oh, where we might have a real conversation, oh

But I don't wanna waste the words
That you don't seem to need
When it comes to wanting what's real
There's no such thing as greed

I hope this night puts down deep roots
I hope we plant a seed
?Cause I don't wanna waste your time
With music you don't need, oh

    Wow, they are some fantastic lyrics. "I’ve got a different scar for every song" is something I really felt was nothing short of brilliant. Especially applicable if you've shared a musical love affair with someone which has now died.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.
