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.
I know your goin'
Iknow this is good-bye
And I can't make you stay
No matter no matter how I try
But ooh if your leaving
Please grant this last request
And leave my heart with some happiness
If this is the last kiss
Let's make it last all night
If this is the last time I'm ever, ever gonna hold you
Let me hold you tight till the morning light
If this is the last time
Ooh we'll ever be together
Kiss me and baby give me something
Tender to remember you by
If I can't be with you
Oh baby all my life
The next best thing
Is you next to me all through the night
Pull all the shades down
Put your heart next to mine
Tonight give me a chance
To feel heaven just one more time
And oh if your leaving
Honey I'll set you free
Just leave my arms this one sweet memory
If this is the last kiss
Let's make it last all night
If this is the last time I'm ever, ever gonna hold you
Let me hold you tight till the morning light
If this is the last time
Ooh we'll ever be together
Kiss me and baby give me something
Tender to remember you by
If I can't be with you
Oh baby all my life
The next best thing
Is you next to me all through the night
If this is the last time I'm ever, ever gonna hold you
Let me hold you tight till the morning light
If this is the last time
Ooh we'll ever be together
Kiss me and baby give me something
Tender to remember you by
Kiss me and baby give me something
Tender to remember you by
Baby give me something
Tender to remember you by
Iknow this is good-bye
And I can't make you stay
No matter no matter how I try
But ooh if your leaving
Please grant this last request
And leave my heart with some happiness
If this is the last kiss
Let's make it last all night
If this is the last time I'm ever, ever gonna hold you
Let me hold you tight till the morning light
If this is the last time
Ooh we'll ever be together
Kiss me and baby give me something
Tender to remember you by
If I can't be with you
Oh baby all my life
The next best thing
Is you next to me all through the night
Pull all the shades down
Put your heart next to mine
Tonight give me a chance
To feel heaven just one more time
And oh if your leaving
Honey I'll set you free
Just leave my arms this one sweet memory
If this is the last kiss
Let's make it last all night
If this is the last time I'm ever, ever gonna hold you
Let me hold you tight till the morning light
If this is the last time
Ooh we'll ever be together
Kiss me and baby give me something
Tender to remember you by
If I can't be with you
Oh baby all my life
The next best thing
Is you next to me all through the night
If this is the last time I'm ever, ever gonna hold you
Let me hold you tight till the morning light
If this is the last time
Ooh we'll ever be together
Kiss me and baby give me something
Tender to remember you by
Kiss me and baby give me something
Tender to remember you by
Baby give me something
Tender to remember you by

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.
