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.
Dusting off your savior
Well, you were always my favorite
Always my man, all in a hand
To celebrate you is greater
Now that I can
Always my man
Now you see what I came for
No one here is to blame for
Misunderstand, all in a hand
Just like you 'cause you made me
All that I am
All in a hand
A butterfly that flaps its wings affecting almost everything
The more I hear the orchestra, the more I have something to bring
And now I see you in a beautiful and different light
He's just a man and any damage done will be alright
Call (call out my name)
Out my name
(Call and I came)
Call (call out my name)
And I came
(Call and I came)
Dusting off your savior
Forgiving any behavior
He's just a man, all in a hand
Your hero's destined to waver
Anyone can
Always my man
I would never betray you
Look at me who could raise you, face in the sand
Safe in your hand
You were always my favorite
Always my man
All in a hand
We are the Red Hots and we're loving up the love-me-nots
The flowers in your flower pots are dancing on the table tops
And now I see you in a beautiful and different light
He's just a man and everything he does will be alright
Call (call out my name)
Out my name
(Call and I came)
Call (call out my name)
And I came
(Call and I came)
Dusting off your savior
The life that you have narrated
You were my man
Well, you were always my favorite
Always my man, all in a hand
To celebrate you is greater
Now that I can
Always my man
Now you see what I came for
No one here is to blame for
Misunderstand, all in a hand
Just like you 'cause you made me
All that I am
All in a hand
A butterfly that flaps its wings affecting almost everything
The more I hear the orchestra, the more I have something to bring
And now I see you in a beautiful and different light
He's just a man and any damage done will be alright
Call (call out my name)
Out my name
(Call and I came)
Call (call out my name)
And I came
(Call and I came)
Dusting off your savior
Forgiving any behavior
He's just a man, all in a hand
Your hero's destined to waver
Anyone can
Always my man
I would never betray you
Look at me who could raise you, face in the sand
Safe in your hand
You were always my favorite
Always my man
All in a hand
We are the Red Hots and we're loving up the love-me-nots
The flowers in your flower pots are dancing on the table tops
And now I see you in a beautiful and different light
He's just a man and everything he does will be alright
Call (call out my name)
Out my name
(Call and I came)
Call (call out my name)
And I came
(Call and I came)
Dusting off your savior
The life that you have narrated
You were my man

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

@[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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Love all the Christians trying to relate every little thing to god.... I believe this song is about his father Blackie Dammet, and re-accepting him into his life.
