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.
Where'd you learn to kiss that way?
I don't know from where that came
I wanna talk about it no more
Kay, you've got to let it go
I can not leave you alone
Honestly, I can not...
What d'you think you are doing?
What do you think you're doing?
Waiting, waiting for you
I want you to dress and go
No, you don't mind, do you? Don't...
I wouldn't know what to do
A hand touches a cheek
A robe is taken off
Wet kisses in the morning
Of never seeing you again
I am scared to death
I am a-scared to death
"Come with me", "Oh, I can just
Picture me with your set
Send me a postcard when you get there"
Ride with me to the next station
I wanna spend
Another half hour with you
She reached down and placed a string of lights
around this heart of mine
(So said Kay)
I don't know from where that came
I wanna talk about it no more
Kay, you've got to let it go
I can not leave you alone
Honestly, I can not...
What d'you think you are doing?
What do you think you're doing?
Waiting, waiting for you
I want you to dress and go
No, you don't mind, do you? Don't...
I wouldn't know what to do
A hand touches a cheek
A robe is taken off
Wet kisses in the morning
Of never seeing you again
I am scared to death
I am a-scared to death
"Come with me", "Oh, I can just
Picture me with your set
Send me a postcard when you get there"
Ride with me to the next station
I wanna spend
Another half hour with you
She reached down and placed a string of lights
around this heart of mine
(So said Kay)

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”

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
So Said Kay was inspired by a lesbian film called Desert Hearts. I think the line "I'm never seeing you again" is actually "Of never seeing you again/I was scared to death", and its "string of lights" rather than lies. Hope that helps.
"Friend: "Come with me" Kay: " Oh I can just picture me with your set!...Send me a postcard when you get there" Set= Circle of friends. " - Bobby
this song is obviously about lust. i interpret it as either 1) a man is cheating on his girlfriend or wife. i think this because "i want you to dress and go, no you don't mind do you?", "i'm never seeing you again, i am scared to death" and "ride with me to the next station i wanna spend another half hour with you". it seems to all say that he's scared he will be found out about his affair, but he is getting so much affection from her he doesn't want her to leave. or 2) the guy is scared of feeling so strongly physically and emotionally for a person. he feels that if she leaves he doesn't know what to do, but if she stays he doesn't know what to do either.
