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.
She gives me
All she has to give
She lets me know
It's just one kiss
She plays the game
Like no one else
She won
Yeah, she won
I've never felt like this before
Can't get enough
I want more
She steals the life
Right out of me
She's gone
Now, she's gone
Look she's running
While I'm drowning
Don't save me
If I'm wading
(chorus)
Her love comes and goes
Before you know it
Just like a fire
She'll leave you helpless
She lifts you up
And let you down
Her love comes and goes away
It hurts so bad
That I can't sleep
I tell myself
She still wants me
She leaves me here
All by myself
Alone, all alone
Look she's running
While I'm drowning
Don't save me
If I'm wading
Her love comes and goes
Before you know it
Just like a fire
She'll leave you helpless
She lifts you up
And let you down
Her love comes and goes away
(comes and goes away)
I want the life I had
Before I knew you
I wish I knew a way
To turn back time
If only you would stay
Another world away
The maybe I could find
Someone not like you
Not like you
Her love comes and goes
Before you know it
Just like a fire
She'll leave you helpless
She lifts you up
And let you down
Her love comes and goes away
She always
Comes and goes away
She always
Comes and goes away
All she has to give
She lets me know
It's just one kiss
She plays the game
Like no one else
She won
Yeah, she won
I've never felt like this before
Can't get enough
I want more
She steals the life
Right out of me
She's gone
Now, she's gone
Look she's running
While I'm drowning
Don't save me
If I'm wading
(chorus)
Her love comes and goes
Before you know it
Just like a fire
She'll leave you helpless
She lifts you up
And let you down
Her love comes and goes away
It hurts so bad
That I can't sleep
I tell myself
She still wants me
She leaves me here
All by myself
Alone, all alone
Look she's running
While I'm drowning
Don't save me
If I'm wading
Her love comes and goes
Before you know it
Just like a fire
She'll leave you helpless
She lifts you up
And let you down
Her love comes and goes away
(comes and goes away)
I want the life I had
Before I knew you
I wish I knew a way
To turn back time
If only you would stay
Another world away
The maybe I could find
Someone not like you
Not like you
Her love comes and goes
Before you know it
Just like a fire
She'll leave you helpless
She lifts you up
And let you down
Her love comes and goes away
She always
Comes and goes away
She always
Comes and goes away

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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
