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.
Staring at each other with accusing eyes keep our voices low
Don't act surprised
If the word gets out, yeah, that's alright
I know you're just looking for some sympathy
but listen you don't know how it gets back to me
You're getting reckless girl, but that's alright
Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
and then we'll have nowhere to go
Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
we'll be all alone in a different light
I don't care what the world can't see
It's just between you and me
I see telltale signs of a love in decline
There should be something to say
but we don't take the time
and I don't understand, but that's alright
Now you can turn the page or you can tear me apart
Don't make an open book out of my private heart
You should know better now, but that's alright
Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
and then we'll have nowhere to go
Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
we'll be all alone in a different light
I don't care what the world can't see
It's just between you and me
If we don't work this out we won't recover
We'll loose this soulfful love for one another
But with all I've heard and all I've seen
I'm still lost in your mystery
Staring at each other with accusing eyes keep our voices low
Don't act surprised if the word gets out
Yeah that's alright
Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
Don't act surprised
If the word gets out, yeah, that's alright
I know you're just looking for some sympathy
but listen you don't know how it gets back to me
You're getting reckless girl, but that's alright
Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
and then we'll have nowhere to go
Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
we'll be all alone in a different light
I don't care what the world can't see
It's just between you and me
I see telltale signs of a love in decline
There should be something to say
but we don't take the time
and I don't understand, but that's alright
Now you can turn the page or you can tear me apart
Don't make an open book out of my private heart
You should know better now, but that's alright
Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
and then we'll have nowhere to go
Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
we'll be all alone in a different light
I don't care what the world can't see
It's just between you and me
If we don't work this out we won't recover
We'll loose this soulfful love for one another
But with all I've heard and all I've seen
I'm still lost in your mystery
Staring at each other with accusing eyes keep our voices low
Don't act surprised if the word gets out
Yeah that's alright
Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another

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.
