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.
If you didn't come to party, I assume you came to brawl
And I ain't afraid to cut a witch up in the Great Hall
I'll Sectumsempra your ass before you even draw your wand
I'll make fool out of you, like you're that broke wizard Ron
If you didn't come to party, why you at the Yule Ball?
I'm rollin' three Death Eaters deep, like I was Biggie Smalls
Gonna Crucio your ass if you get up in my face
Cuz if you didn't come to party, you in the wrong place
Pansy thinks she's all that, in her frilly pink dress
But she looks like a hot tranny mess
I see her rollin' in with Draco, but I'm scheming on her man
She's afraid I'm gonna steal him, cuz she knows I can
All I need is five minutes, five minutes with him alone
And I bet you five Sickles he's gonna take me home
If you didn't come to party, I assume you came to brawl
And I ain't afraid to cut a witch up in the Great Hall
I'll Sectumsempra your ass before you even draw your wand
I'll make fool out of you, like you're that broke wizard Ron
If you didn't come to party, why you at the Yule Ball?
I'm rollin' three Death Eaters deep, like I was Biggie Smalls
Gonna Crucio your ass if you get up in my face
Cuz if you didn't come to party, you in the wrong place
Drinkin' gin and pumpkin juice in my silver-chrome cup
I'm gonna get real loose, I'm gonna get fucked up
Some wizards can't hold their liquor and they're gettin' real sloppy
If you get much sicker, better go see Madame Poppy
Even Snape's a little tipsy, and McGonagall is smokin'
Trelawny's drunk on sherry, and Dumbledore is tokin'
Why you tryin' to kill my buzz, you're a prefect not a narc
Why you gotta call the fuzz, bitch, I got a Dark Mark!
If you didn't come to party, I assume you came to brawl
And I ain't afraid to cut a witch up in the Great Hall
I'll Sectumsempra your ass before you even draw your wand
I'll make fool out of you, like you're that broke wizard Ron
If you didn't come to party, why you at the Yule Ball?
I'm rollin' three Death Eaters deep, like I was Biggie Smalls
Gonna Crucio your ass if you get up in my face
If you didn't come to party, you in the wrong place
The boys are feelin' me tonight, they're trying to get next to me
And we're gonna have an orgy, cuz we're high on ecstasy
If you take felix felicis, you just may get lucky
But you gotta wait in line, if you wanna F...riend me on Myspace!
Don't you call me a whore cuz I like to get laid
I do this just for fun, I never get paid
So if you wanna get with me, don't matter what house you're from
So long as you promise me you're gonna make me come...with you to the next Yule Ball!
If you didn't come to party, I assume you came to brawl
And I ain't afraid to cut a bitch up in the Great Hall
I'll Sectumsempra your ass before you even draw your wand
I'll make fool out of you, like you're that broke wizard Ron
If you didn't come to party, why you at the Yule Ball?
I'm rollin' three Death Eaters deep, like I was Biggie Smalls
Gonna Crucio your ass if you get up in my face
Cuz if you didn't come to party, you in the wrong place
And I ain't afraid to cut a witch up in the Great Hall
I'll Sectumsempra your ass before you even draw your wand

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
