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.
It's a long time ago
Do you remember the place
Where we first time met and now again
Our love lit like a flame
You told me I'm your light
In the dark side of your life
And your heart will burn for me
In eternity
[Chorus:]
Even if night stars would fall or sun would rise no more
My heart and my soul belongs to you
Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
My love and my life belongs to you
I don't want to live
Without your love that I need
I want to soar like a seagull
You are the wind under my wings
Forever we dare to try
Together we learn to fly
Searching peaceful place of world
For better life
[Chorus]
Let me show you my world
Let me sail across the seas
With you to the eternal land
Somewhere there is promised island
And there we will find peace and love
Away form sorrow and despair
And our love will be evergreen
In the paradise you've never seen
My darling can't you see
Oh darling you must believe me
Our love is immortal and it is real...
[Chorus]
Do you remember the place
Where we first time met and now again
Our love lit like a flame
You told me I'm your light
In the dark side of your life
And your heart will burn for me
In eternity
[Chorus:]
Even if night stars would fall or sun would rise no more
My heart and my soul belongs to you
Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
My love and my life belongs to you
I don't want to live
Without your love that I need
I want to soar like a seagull
You are the wind under my wings
Forever we dare to try
Together we learn to fly
Searching peaceful place of world
For better life
[Chorus]
Let me show you my world
Let me sail across the seas
With you to the eternal land
Somewhere there is promised island
And there we will find peace and love
Away form sorrow and despair
And our love will be evergreen
In the paradise you've never seen
My darling can't you see
Oh darling you must believe me
Our love is immortal and it is real...
[Chorus]

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.
