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.
Everyone quickly hushed up and took a step back as
Jenifer rose and stood over the girl, examining her
Handiwork. Her heart laid motionless beneath her,
Seemingly dead. Her eyesockets dry and empty. Her
Heels and elbows sprayed and bloodied. Some on-lookers
Gasped in horror. Some swooned and fainted
Melodramatically. Most just stared in disbelief.
Jennifer reached down between her thighs and pulled
The crotch of her bathing suit to the side - exposing
Her vagina. The other girl slowly sat up and began
Sliding her fingers into Jennifer. A few minutes
Later, her wrists were in, then her elbows. Eventually
She would completely disappear into her womb. Jennifer
Tilted her head to the side curiously. She heard the
Sound of a rickety-wooden roller-coaster in the
Distance. It's passengers screaming in mob terror. She
Knew that sooner or later they would realize that the
Ride wasn't stopping and they were all going to die.
I SEE you headless with me caressing your neck.My personal nightfall. An
Eclipse of the sunflowers.I fell so invisible. So Unkown. Coffin of dust. AN
Illegible Tombstone. They finally buried the gravedigger in the sky. I just need to
Shower in your amber and bathe in your earth.

@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
That line isnt in this song.....
