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.
Comme un cri vers l'infini
Comme un mirage, un désir interdit
Et il ne me reste aujourd'hui
Plus qu'une image, un nom qu'on
oublie
Si les histoires d'amour
Nous font parfois oublié pourquoi
on a commencé
Si tous les bruits qui courent
Me poursuivent et me rappelle qu'on
a tort de trop aimé
Si malgré ça je pense à toi
Trop de souvenirs se meurent encore
en moi
Refrain
Quand les murs qui m'oppressent
Me cachent la vérité et étouffent
ma vie
Oh ! Je prie pour que cela cesse
Pour retrouver loin d'ici un désir,
une envie
Si tu m'entends, oui comme avant
Vois comme je saigne
Crois-tu que l'on s'aime
Refrain
S'il te reste une chance
De me pardonner
De tout effacer, comme ça
Je veux que mon ciel explose
Que ma vie soit belle, comme avant
Si notre histoire d'amour
N'est plus celle que tu crois
Lève les yeux et regarde-moi :
Comme un rêve
Un songe, une insomnie
Une ode à la vie
Et je sais qu'on vivra cet amour
Comme une chance, un défi
Refrain
Comme un cri, oh ! oh!...
Un nom qu'on oublie
Mais je sais qu'on vivra cet amour
Comme une chance, un défi.
Comme un mirage, un désir interdit
Et il ne me reste aujourd'hui
Plus qu'une image, un nom qu'on
oublie
Si les histoires d'amour
Nous font parfois oublié pourquoi
on a commencé
Si tous les bruits qui courent
Me poursuivent et me rappelle qu'on
a tort de trop aimé
Si malgré ça je pense à toi
Trop de souvenirs se meurent encore
en moi
Refrain
Quand les murs qui m'oppressent
Me cachent la vérité et étouffent
ma vie
Oh ! Je prie pour que cela cesse
Pour retrouver loin d'ici un désir,
une envie
Si tu m'entends, oui comme avant
Vois comme je saigne
Crois-tu que l'on s'aime
Refrain
S'il te reste une chance
De me pardonner
De tout effacer, comme ça
Je veux que mon ciel explose
Que ma vie soit belle, comme avant
Si notre histoire d'amour
N'est plus celle que tu crois
Lève les yeux et regarde-moi :
Comme un rêve
Un songe, une insomnie
Une ode à la vie
Et je sais qu'on vivra cet amour
Comme une chance, un défi
Refrain
Comme un cri, oh ! oh!...
Un nom qu'on oublie
Mais je sais qu'on vivra cet amour
Comme une chance, un défi.

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
