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.
My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}
My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}
We had a love for all seasons
At least it's how it used to be
There was no time, space or reason
More special to us than we
My love continue to flourish
As a flower blooms in spring
Then you tried to play love for silly
But the loser is the fool
Who doesn't play love by the rules
If she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Cause I may not be around
To do the things I used to do
And if you awake to find you're lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday
My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}
My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}
There was a time when forever
Was common-place for me and you
Laughing, loving, sharing, caring
Seemed to be made just for us two
But I kept on building the dream world
That I thought was you and I
Sorry, I'm sadly mistaken
Cause our castle in the sky
Has turned into a mere goodbye
If she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Cause I may not be around to do the things
I used to do
And if you awake to find you're lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday
Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}
My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}
We had a love for all seasons
At least it's how it used to be
There was no time, space or reason
More special to us than we
My love continue to flourish
As a flower blooms in spring
Then you tried to play love for silly
But the loser is the fool
Who doesn't play love by the rules
If she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Cause I may not be around
To do the things I used to do
And if you awake to find you're lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday
My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}
My love is gone with Yesterday
{My love is gone with Yesterday}
There was a time when forever
Was common-place for me and you
Laughing, loving, sharing, caring
Seemed to be made just for us two
But I kept on building the dream world
That I thought was you and I
Sorry, I'm sadly mistaken
Cause our castle in the sky
Has turned into a mere goodbye
If she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Cause I may not be around to do the things
I used to do
And if you awake to find you're lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday
Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday
Love is gone with yesterday

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.
