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.
My love, do you ever dream of
Candy-coated raindrops?
You're the same, my candy rain
Have you ever loved someone
So much you thought you'd die?
Giving so much of yourself
It seems the only way
Tell me what you want and I
And I will give it to you
'Cause you are
My love (my love), do you ever dream of (do you ever dream)
Candy-coated raindrops? (Ooh-whoa, darling)
You're the same, my candy rain
My love, did you ever dream
That it could be so right?
I never thought that I would find
All that I need in life
All I want, all I need, now, I know
I know I found it in you (I found it in you)
'Cause you are
My love (my love), do you ever dream of (do you ever dream)
Candy-coated raindrops? (Ohh-whoa)
You're the same, my candy rain (darling)
My love (my love), do you ever dream of (do you ever dream)
Candy-coated raindrops? (Whoa, whoa)
You're the same, my candy rain
(You're the same, my candy rain)
My love (tell me, oh), do you ever dream of (if you ever loved someone)
Candy-coated raindrops? (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, baby, baby, baby)
You're the same, my candy rain (my candy rain)
Candy-coated raindrops (candy-coated raindrops)
Candy-coated raindrops
My love, do you ever dream of
Candy-coated raindrops?
You're the same, my candy rain
My love, do you ever dream of
Candy-coated raindrops?
You're the same, my candy rain
Candy-coated raindrops?
You're the same, my candy rain
Have you ever loved someone
So much you thought you'd die?
Giving so much of yourself
It seems the only way
Tell me what you want and I
And I will give it to you
'Cause you are
My love (my love), do you ever dream of (do you ever dream)
Candy-coated raindrops? (Ooh-whoa, darling)
You're the same, my candy rain
My love, did you ever dream
That it could be so right?
I never thought that I would find
All that I need in life
All I want, all I need, now, I know
I know I found it in you (I found it in you)
'Cause you are
My love (my love), do you ever dream of (do you ever dream)
Candy-coated raindrops? (Ohh-whoa)
You're the same, my candy rain (darling)
My love (my love), do you ever dream of (do you ever dream)
Candy-coated raindrops? (Whoa, whoa)
You're the same, my candy rain
(You're the same, my candy rain)
My love (tell me, oh), do you ever dream of (if you ever loved someone)
Candy-coated raindrops? (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, baby, baby, baby)
You're the same, my candy rain (my candy rain)
Candy-coated raindrops (candy-coated raindrops)
Candy-coated raindrops
My love, do you ever dream of
Candy-coated raindrops?
You're the same, my candy rain
My love, do you ever dream of
Candy-coated raindrops?
You're the same, my candy rain

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.
