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.
Girl, I can't notice but to
Notice you noticin' me
From across the room
I can see it and I can't stop myself from lookin'
Noticin' you noticin' me
Watch out, I've seen her type before
That girl is so dangerous
(That girl is so) dangerous
(That girl is a) bad girl
(I've seen her type before, she's so) dangerous
(That girl is so) dangerous
(That girl is a) bad girl, yeah
Every night, man, I get that feeling
Girl is about to got me stealing glances all the time
See, I wish you were mine
So we get close or to the fact
And I see how you might be act crazy all the time (are you out of your mind?)
I got my friends a ride
You're calling me all night
Dragging you home, drugged from another Friday night
I guess I should have known
Should I have left you alone?
I wouldn't be singing it all
So let me finish up this by saying
That girls these days are praying
And no, I don't mean church
They're all set out to hurt
So all my boys, just hide your heat
'Cause Cupid used to kill from the start, from the start
I thought you and me were meant to be
But everything can't be that easy
Notice you noticin' me
From across the room
I can see it and I can't stop myself from lookin'
Noticin' you noticin' me
Watch out, I've seen her type before
That girl is so dangerous
(That girl is so) dangerous
(That girl is a) bad girl
(I've seen her type before, she's so) dangerous
(That girl is so) dangerous
(That girl is a) bad girl, yeah
Every night, man, I get that feeling
Girl is about to got me stealing glances all the time
See, I wish you were mine
So we get close or to the fact
And I see how you might be act crazy all the time (are you out of your mind?)
I got my friends a ride
You're calling me all night
Dragging you home, drugged from another Friday night
I guess I should have known
Should I have left you alone?
I wouldn't be singing it all
So let me finish up this by saying
That girls these days are praying
And no, I don't mean church
They're all set out to hurt
So all my boys, just hide your heat
'Cause Cupid used to kill from the start, from the start
I thought you and me were meant to be
But everything can't be that easy

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.
