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.
...dating movie stars will only get you so far...
We've let this go to far, if your gonna wear that mask and hide behind it, if your gonna fake the feeling..
Its time we start to show the side of you they need to see, you've left your past behind along with all your dignity
we are the face of change
so you wont forget our name, we're calling you out
This aint your revolution, your time is far past over
This is our resolution, we're slowly taking over
Now your drowning in..."the river"
You were baptized in
They're starting to catch on,your contradicting your own anthems, all the lines that you've been stealing
Make you just a "Local Product"
You'll be the ones they all forgot of
Better think of a new gimmick
cuz noones buying it
we are the face of change
so you wont forget our name, we're calling you out
This aint your revolution, your time is far past over
This is our resolution, we're slowly taking over
Now your drowning in..."the river"
You were baptized in
were are the face of change
so you wont forget our name
If you stand for nothing then youll fall for anything
This aint your revolution, your time is far past over
This is our resolution, we're slowly taking over
Now your drowning in..."the river"
You were baptized in
If you stand for nothing then you'll fall for anything
If you stand for nothing then you'll fall for anything
We've let this go to far, if your gonna wear that mask and hide behind it, if your gonna fake the feeling..
Its time we start to show the side of you they need to see, you've left your past behind along with all your dignity
we are the face of change
so you wont forget our name, we're calling you out
This aint your revolution, your time is far past over
This is our resolution, we're slowly taking over
Now your drowning in..."the river"
You were baptized in
They're starting to catch on,your contradicting your own anthems, all the lines that you've been stealing
Make you just a "Local Product"
You'll be the ones they all forgot of
Better think of a new gimmick
cuz noones buying it
we are the face of change
so you wont forget our name, we're calling you out
This aint your revolution, your time is far past over
This is our resolution, we're slowly taking over
Now your drowning in..."the river"
You were baptized in
were are the face of change
so you wont forget our name
If you stand for nothing then youll fall for anything
This aint your revolution, your time is far past over
This is our resolution, we're slowly taking over
Now your drowning in..."the river"
You were baptized in
If you stand for nothing then you'll fall for anything
If you stand for nothing then you'll fall for anything

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
Oh gosh, I love this song. The chorus is so great, i practice singing on this song ;].
This band is so good!! <33
