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.
Stop the show
Listen up
We've got something to say and it's important
Can't hear the words you say
Or the notes you play
And you're not changing the world
Just a few more moments of your time
Just a few more moments, while I speak
So we can change your mind
We're all breaking ground
Bringing the revolution around
Support this support that once again
It's all an act
Wasting our time on you stop
Support this support that once again
It's all an act
The worst music I've ever heard
Honesty that touches a nerve
The words fall onto the floor
Drive home with no lessons learned
Soon the content outweighs the form
With time, the sounds get boring
For you and me, this posture is self-serving

Amazing
