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.
i spy with my lizard eye and everything i see is a lie you know when i told you i would never lie well, that was the first time take all the pleasures that you seek may my heart be full and still be bleak cold and alone, hard as stone like a fuck when there is no one home beauty and fame are meaningless beside the ability to kill with a look of your eye but i defy you to see through me nothing is all that you will see cats, sex and nazis that's why they call me mr. happy are you a believer ? - well i'm a deceiver but i lied when i said that honesty was dead i really belive all the things i say to you it's just that none of them are true zombies eat human flesh which part do you like the best ? i like the heart the best zombies eat human flesh if i haven't done all that i could do to hurt you it's because my love is true or because my feelings are a lie and we live just to suffer and die i'll put a guarantee on all the beauty that i see the fairest, the best, the first of the blest all those whose souls are the ugliest hopelessly lost in their bitterness love me and you shall be free to join my eternal captivity just don't ask me if i believ all this bull my head is empty but my bowels are full i don't really think this way i did yesterday, but not today cats, sex and nazis... zombies eat human flesh... i spy with my lizard eye and everything i say is a lie and what about you ? what will you do ? when the sound of my voice touches you when you hear me say, "this is true." and the sounds of my voice touches you this is true, this is true the sounds of my voice touches you this is true, this is true ! this is true, this is true ! cats, sex and nazis that's why they call me mr. happy why do i keep saying this over and over all the time ? because it rhymes, moron what do i want to hear now, a love song ? are you in love ? is it politically correct ? or are you just another fucking reject ? sre you getting all of this ? or is there something you have missed ? zombies eat human flesh... do you know why they call me mr. happy ? because i'm so fucking smart

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
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.
this is a song by nomeansno and it's about cats,sex, and nazis, and why they call him Mr. Happy. and it also means that it's time to rock.
