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.
Stop instead of running, look around
See the madness and evil everywhere
Stop instead of running, look around
Don't fear to open your eyes wider
You can choose your way on your own
Full of joy, the way without the rush
You can spread your wings and fly high, be above
Notice the self, recognize yourself
Take care of your temple
and nurture it because,
Because the goodness is hidden there
Notice the self, recognize yourself
As long as the nature reveals the signs
to find the true dimension of our life
Sing in your light
to the inner drum of your heart
As long as the nature reveals the signs
Back to the spring, to become the child
We're moving in circle to reach our rise
When the start and the end becomes unity
Touch of golden cloud will be near
See the madness and evil everywhere
Stop instead of running, look around
Don't fear to open your eyes wider
You can choose your way on your own
Full of joy, the way without the rush
You can spread your wings and fly high, be above
Notice the self, recognize yourself
Take care of your temple
and nurture it because,
Because the goodness is hidden there
Notice the self, recognize yourself
As long as the nature reveals the signs
to find the true dimension of our life
Sing in your light
to the inner drum of your heart
As long as the nature reveals the signs
Back to the spring, to become the child
We're moving in circle to reach our rise
When the start and the end becomes unity
Touch of golden cloud will be near

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.
