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.
Hitting walls for a feet
With our friends and we hear this free
All the dogs, dropping bombs
He see
Huck it
You don't have the ties
You won't have the eyes
Huck it
Cause you realize
You don't need to justify
That cable show is not the lives we know
Drop a bomb in the publics eye
Fuck the Spartans they always lie
You are pointing to go fast and GO
Broken bombs and baking skin
Notify your next of kin
You'll know you'll come alive some day
Huck it
Now you feel alive,
stinks like shit all the time
Huck it
Its like you gotta try
risky shit, by the time
You can not practice lay it on the line
Huck it
Now you're down in luck
cause you don't give a fuck
Huck it
And go by the time
You go out doin' what you know
no talking shit just leave it all and go home
Huck it
Now you'll feel alive
stinks like shit all the time
Huck it
Like you gotta try
risky shit by the time
cant practice just lay it on the line
Huck it
Now you're down in luck
cause you don't give a fuck
Huck it
And go by the time
You go out doin' what you know
No talking shit just leave it all and go home
With our friends and we hear this free
All the dogs, dropping bombs
He see
Huck it
You don't have the ties
You won't have the eyes
Huck it
Cause you realize
You don't need to justify
That cable show is not the lives we know
Drop a bomb in the publics eye
Fuck the Spartans they always lie
You are pointing to go fast and GO
Broken bombs and baking skin
Notify your next of kin
You'll know you'll come alive some day
Huck it
Now you feel alive,
stinks like shit all the time
Huck it
Its like you gotta try
risky shit, by the time
You can not practice lay it on the line
Huck it
Now you're down in luck
cause you don't give a fuck
Huck it
And go by the time
You go out doin' what you know
no talking shit just leave it all and go home
Huck it
Now you'll feel alive
stinks like shit all the time
Huck it
Like you gotta try
risky shit by the time
cant practice just lay it on the line
Huck it
Now you're down in luck
cause you don't give a fuck
Huck it
And go by the time
You go out doin' what you know
No talking shit just leave it all and go home

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song rules. I was relieved to see that someone was able to get the lyrics to this beast. although im not yet sure to its exact meaning, it still is one of if the the best ever offspring song
