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.
You knew I wouldn't answer
When you called me yesterday
For it's getting so much harder
To carry on this way
Did you hear what happened
When I tried to make the news
I thought that we could change the world
No one wanted to
Just for a moment
I had to turn away
And find another point of view
A playback was refused
Halfway through a short life
I tried to stop in mid flight
Condemned to touch the ground
I found myself alone
There was only one exit
My flight was not detected
I just have to rewrite
My restless serenades
Just for a moment
I had to turn away
Who was supposed to feel the shame
When no one would take the blame
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
Just like a prisoner
I found escape through dreaming
The world keeps turning me
With fate like carousels
I sat in my empty room
I sent out my distress signals
They never could be heard
The walls were closing in
Just for a moment
I had to talk away
Who was supposed to feel the shame
When no one would take the blame
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
Just for a moment
I had to talk away
Who was supposed to feel the shame
When no one would take the blame
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
You knew I wouldn't answer
When you called me yesterday
When you called me yesterday
For it's getting so much harder
To carry on this way
Did you hear what happened
When I tried to make the news
I thought that we could change the world
No one wanted to
Just for a moment
I had to turn away
And find another point of view
A playback was refused
Halfway through a short life
I tried to stop in mid flight
Condemned to touch the ground
I found myself alone
There was only one exit
My flight was not detected
I just have to rewrite
My restless serenades
Just for a moment
I had to turn away
Who was supposed to feel the shame
When no one would take the blame
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
Just like a prisoner
I found escape through dreaming
The world keeps turning me
With fate like carousels
I sat in my empty room
I sent out my distress signals
They never could be heard
The walls were closing in
Just for a moment
I had to talk away
Who was supposed to feel the shame
When no one would take the blame
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
Just for a moment
I had to talk away
Who was supposed to feel the shame
When no one would take the blame
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
It doesn't feel the same
I feel no pain
The world doesn't bother me
I'm immune
You knew I wouldn't answer
When you called me yesterday

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.
