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.
Master!
Apprentice!
Heartborne, 7th Seeker
Warrior!
Disciple!
In me the Wishmaster
Elbereth
Lorien
A dreamy-eyed child staring into night
On a journey to storyteller's mind
Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in him
Distant sigh from a lonely heart
"I'll be with you soon, my Shalafi"
Grey Havens my destiny
Master!...
Silvara
Starbreeze
Sla-Mori the one known only by Him
To august realms, the sorcery within
If you hear the call of arcane lore,
Your world shall rest on Earth no more
A maiden elf calling with her cunning song
"Meet me at the Inn of Last Home"
Heartborne will find the way!
Master!...
Wishmaster
Crusade for Your will
A child, dreamfinder
The Apprentice becoming...
Master!...
Apprentice!
Heartborne, 7th Seeker
Warrior!
Disciple!
In me the Wishmaster
Elbereth
Lorien
A dreamy-eyed child staring into night
On a journey to storyteller's mind
Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in him
Distant sigh from a lonely heart
"I'll be with you soon, my Shalafi"
Grey Havens my destiny
Master!...
Silvara
Starbreeze
Sla-Mori the one known only by Him
To august realms, the sorcery within
If you hear the call of arcane lore,
Your world shall rest on Earth no more
A maiden elf calling with her cunning song
"Meet me at the Inn of Last Home"
Heartborne will find the way!
Master!...
Wishmaster
Crusade for Your will
A child, dreamfinder
The Apprentice becoming...
Master!...

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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 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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
A lot of this song is references to the Dragonlance novels.
Master! Apprentice!
Could easily refer to Dalamar and Raistlyn, who are also mentioned later in the song.
"I'll be with you soon, my Shalafi"
Okay, there's no way you can have read the books and NOT know what that means. 'Shalafi' is Silnaesti elven for master/teacher, basically the same thing as 'sensei.' It's what Dalamar calls Raistlyn.
Silvara Starbreeze
Silvara the silver dragon and Alhanna Starbreeze.... sound familiar to anyone?
Sla-Mori the one known only by Him To august realms, the sorcery within If you hear the call of arcane lore, your world shall rest on Earth no more
The Sla-Mori, the 'secret way.' The companions used a Sla-Mori in the Chronicals. Presumably there are more than one in the world.
A maiden elf calling with her cunning song "Meet me at the Inn of last home" Heartborne will find the way
The Inn of the Last Home is in Solace, where the Companions met and drank.
(Noooo.... I haven't read those books WAY too many times...)
This song is about DragonLance and Lord of the Rings. Master = Raislin Majere Disciple = Dalamar, Raistlin's apprentice Elbereth = Is a Valar(a "god" in Middle-Earth's mithology), named Varda, creator of the Earth. Lorien = A magical forest of the elves in Middle-Earth. Shalafi = Raistlin Grey Havens = The last port of the elves in Middle-Earth Silvara = A silver dragon in the world of DragonLance Starbreeze = She is an elven princess in DragonLance 7th. Seeker = Tanis Half-Elven
This song refers to concepts from the 'Silmarillion', the history of middle earth. I think it's about a journey, probably to the Grey Havens, the undying lands where the elves go. "Master! Apprentice! Heartborne, 7th. seeker Warrior! Disciple! In me the Wishmaster" I think the above section is about someone with great potential to be everything - both a master and apprentice, a warrior etc. This person is at the destination. That's all I can say...since I haven't actually read the whole book...if you want to better interpret this song then read the book and it may help. PS I am sorry if this sucked, I just though I should write something here since there's nothing else about the meaning of the song.
Tuomas on this song: "This is my personal tribute to fantasy, especially the closest to me; Tolkien & Dragonlance. These worlds have become a sort of inverted reality for me, where the story of "The Kinslayer" can't become reality... Moreover, I don't believe in this thing called "destiny". We are the masters of our own wishes, beliefs and dreams. Whatever you desire enough, it can happen. Destiny is an excuse for those who don't have the strength to fulfil their wishes. Everything is possible. Even the impossible."
I agree with him.............
Yes, it seems to be mostly Dragonlance with some Tolkien thrown in at random points "Elbereth, Lorien, Grey Havens"
Reminds me of Kingdom Hearts and its Seven Guardians:
Master - Aqua
Apprentice - Sora
Heartborne - Kairi
7th Seeker - Lea
Warrior - Riku
Disciple - Ventus
Wishmaster - Mickey
If someone took enough time to listen to this entire song, it's a real power song. By the time it's over, you just wanna get up and go and really feel like you can take over the world. ^^;
Yeah i know what you mean, I wish i knew what Heartborne and 7th Seeker mean though :(
this is the best song for playing "Unreal Tournament" ITS GREAT
i like how shes yelling in the first part of the song
