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.
When I woke up, 6 pm
Sleeping in your day again
Your ghost keeps me lonely
All the while, I'm burning for you
For you, oh
And this could be just what you need
Just dim the lights, cut your ties
Break down this line, the mood is right
You burn inside of me
You're burnin' inside of me you burn
And I'm still alive in you i'm still alive
I'm still on fire for you
It's burning inside
No use in thinking 'bout it now?
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone
And I'll be what you want
I'll be what you need i can love you more
So what could be better
She tries to remember
A time when the weather was warm enough
To swim in September, got sick and got better
By middle November, it tore me up
The time was just flying, I'm trying
Rewinding ask me if I'm lying, I'm yelling
You're crying
I love you, I'm sorry, let's drop it, my bad
It's not worth the work
We put in what we have
After that dysfunction between us
Was getting to me
But maybe dysfunction is just what you need
And maybe there's comfort in
Rippin' the seams
You can't reap what you sew 'til
You learn what you teach
So you left out of spite and
My pride watched you leave
And conjunction dysfunction was
The greatest disease the greatest
The greatest you ever had
The greatest in the world
And I'm still alive in you i'm still alive
I'm still on fire for you
It's burning inside
No use in thinking 'bout you now
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone
And you and I'll be what you want
Sleeping in your day again
Your ghost keeps me lonely
All the while, I'm burning for you
For you, oh
And this could be just what you need
Just dim the lights, cut your ties
Break down this line, the mood is right
You burn inside of me
You're burnin' inside of me you burn
And I'm still alive in you i'm still alive
I'm still on fire for you
It's burning inside
No use in thinking 'bout it now?
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone
And I'll be what you want
I'll be what you need i can love you more
So what could be better
She tries to remember
A time when the weather was warm enough
To swim in September, got sick and got better
By middle November, it tore me up
The time was just flying, I'm trying
Rewinding ask me if I'm lying, I'm yelling
You're crying
I love you, I'm sorry, let's drop it, my bad
It's not worth the work
We put in what we have
After that dysfunction between us
Was getting to me
But maybe dysfunction is just what you need
And maybe there's comfort in
Rippin' the seams
You can't reap what you sew 'til
You learn what you teach
So you left out of spite and
My pride watched you leave
And conjunction dysfunction was
The greatest disease the greatest
The greatest you ever had
The greatest in the world
And I'm still alive in you i'm still alive
I'm still on fire for you
It's burning inside
No use in thinking 'bout you now
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone
And you and I'll be what you want

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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
