Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Aim, throw your best shot right at me
'Cause pain, I can take it easily
Did you really think I'd fall to my knees
Just to pray for some sweet simplicity?
'Cause woah, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your bare hands, they hold too tight
And woah the air is on fire
This room feels electric, cord here in your sights
Power, power
I will never understand the power you're holding over me
Power, power
Oh you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
Pain, just synapses firing in our brain
So when you cut me, cut me deep
Hurt the ones you love the most easily
'Cause in time we show our Achilles's heels
And woah, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your cold bare hands, they hold too tight
And woah the air is on fire
This room feels electric, cord here in your sights
Power, power
I will never understand the power you're holding over me
Power, power
Oh you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder (hit me, hit me harder)
'Cause you better knock me out the first time
And if you're do this with the plaster (do this with the plaster)
Power, power
Blows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over me
Power, power
I will never understand the way I let you hold it over me
Power, power
Well you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
Power, oh, oh, power, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Power, power
I let you have it too long, yes you've had it too long
'Cause pain, I can take it easily
Did you really think I'd fall to my knees
Just to pray for some sweet simplicity?
'Cause woah, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your bare hands, they hold too tight
And woah the air is on fire
This room feels electric, cord here in your sights
Power, power
I will never understand the power you're holding over me
Power, power
Oh you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
Pain, just synapses firing in our brain
So when you cut me, cut me deep
Hurt the ones you love the most easily
'Cause in time we show our Achilles's heels
And woah, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your cold bare hands, they hold too tight
And woah the air is on fire
This room feels electric, cord here in your sights
Power, power
I will never understand the power you're holding over me
Power, power
Oh you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder (hit me, hit me harder)
'Cause you better knock me out the first time
And if you're do this with the plaster (do this with the plaster)
Power, power
Blows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over me
Power, power
I will never understand the way I let you hold it over me
Power, power
Well you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
Power, oh, oh, power, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Power, power
I let you have it too long, yes you've had it too long

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.
