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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Delaware, Are you aware of the Air Supply and the television, Delaware Are you still there, is this thing on, am I coming down, Delaware Are you aware of the Air Supply and the television, Delaware Are you aware of the Air Supply
CHORUS
DelaWhere are you Tonight are you From any town
Are you aware are you Tonight are you From any town
Never heard about Air Supply but Wikipedia says that the band Television is from Delaware.
i think that this song may... have an alternate meaing to what you hear. may be wrong but: instead of Delaware it could be Della, the girls name, where are you. so this is the way it could be. he just playing on the words. This entire thing takes place on a girls message machine: Della where are you and where of the e'er supply of television. (meaning that he is wondering where Della is and that he has an e'er ending supply of television) Are you still there? Is this thing on? Della where are you where? from philadelphia? Are you, where are you tonight. Are you...?
this song is so addicting :-X
Could it be that he is referring to the bands Air Supply and Television?
oh geez, such wonderful, wonderful, causal rhyme and beautiful use of language. i love tpr.
First, the lyrics are a little wrong here. He says Deleware are you tonight are you from any town and in the background it says Philadelphia. Just thought I'd correct that. Anyway, I think this song is a tribute to the old band Air Supply, who is from Deleware.
Could also have to do with the fact that Promise Ring was signed to Jade Tree, who have their studio in Wilmington, Delaware. I like to think it's about the state... I live there :)
This song gets my dick hard!
dude.... philadelphia? that's not in the song at any point... it's not even in the lyrics sheet for the lp... wtf
The backup singing is singing "Philadelphia". It's pretty clear at around the 2 minute mark in the song.
Sometimes, this song gets stuck in my head for days and days, and when I sing it out loud, people think I'm crazy.
