The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Somebody give me sign
That everything's going as planned
And then everything falls away
Into the darkness of this shallow place
The detail is striking
The room's cold and frightening
You'll kick and you'll scream
You'll try everything to survive
But you should know your fate by now (know your fate by now)
They told me (they told me)
How I should be
But I broke the mold somehow!
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
To me
You, you know gotta assert yourself
Leave what you need for now
It's not the time or place your searching for
All I can give them is my worst of intentions
You're nothing to me and everyone can see that
Your life's a lie
There's nowhere left to hide
They told me (they told me!)
How I should be
But I broke the mold somehow
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
To me
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
To me
Watch your back
You'll lose yourself
This is a battleground!
When will they know
Your life's a lie
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
They told me (they told me)
How I should be
But I broke the mold somehow!
That everything's going as planned
And then everything falls away
Into the darkness of this shallow place
The detail is striking
The room's cold and frightening
You'll kick and you'll scream
You'll try everything to survive
But you should know your fate by now (know your fate by now)
They told me (they told me)
How I should be
But I broke the mold somehow!
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
To me
You, you know gotta assert yourself
Leave what you need for now
It's not the time or place your searching for
All I can give them is my worst of intentions
You're nothing to me and everyone can see that
Your life's a lie
There's nowhere left to hide
They told me (they told me!)
How I should be
But I broke the mold somehow
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done

It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
To me

You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
They told me (they told me)
How I should be
But I broke the mold somehow!

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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

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.
the lyrics that are up right now are the ones i told the moderators to correct. i think you may be right about "assert yourself" instead of search yourself. i meant to change that, but forgot to.
