its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Raging and swirling,
Getting inside,
I feel like I'm going to break!
Bright sun sinking low,
I never feel afraid to let emotions show.
Well I did.
Now take a look at me,
I had a close brush before your destiny.
Before I end, and you'll be victims of
My stories, tales, lies, and exaggerations.
I'm gonna
When your living life like a show
You gotta
Take a bow to the people you know
I said lie, for me
Lying under a process tree
Oh engrossing in my brain
Feeling like I'm going a little insane.
A little close inside
Feels like I'm going insane!
Red lights
Are sinking low
I grab another beer cuz it's time to go
I feel my head burst, I head out to your car
And I pray to Jesus Christ, but you won't get too far
I say uh, headlights and uh second gear
I run the road of like and skip the things you fear
I said that you might, that you might find a better way
To justify the evil things that you say
Ah, help me please, ah help me please
Because I'm going upon my knees
I said, I said
Going down to my knees
I pray to the Lord up above!
Help me,
I'm falling down
Feeling now the cold, cold, cold, hard ground
Haunting faces, and moving lines
Slumber party for tonight
Pound it hard, your gonna pound it again
But please just do not pump up my friend
Cuz it seems all right, gonna push him around
But I can't be taken for no clown.
Because,
When I am on the ground I cry!
Wowowowowowo, dub style!
Oh, cool and easy
Oh no
Cool and easy
To the sweet reggae music
Oh no
Feels all right to sweet reggae music
Feels all right
Sweet reggae music
Getting inside,
I feel like I'm going to break!
Bright sun sinking low,
I never feel afraid to let emotions show.
Well I did.

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.

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 dissagree, its possible to be a true fan and hate one or two songs. No one is perfect no one only makes great songs. Every artist has some bad songs just like every painter has bad paintings and every director has some bad movie or movie idea. Especially among unrealeased shit, sometimes there is sucky music from excellent bands and rappers. I think this song is kinda weird but i like it cuz its chill and unique. Not one of my favorite, but very unique and still pretty good.
