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.
Still searching for your call today
Sit down and structure, will you be the engineer?
Still tired and dreaming out again and overboard
When pain kills you'll hate me and wait for, or
Then call me crazy and pretend I left us discontent and afraid
So what, so I'm crazy, yeah
Then send me justice and I'll have Paris in flames
Still searching for your faith
In the arm that killed the president
Relapse, waiting here for
Still searching for your face
In the crowd that killed the president
Relapse, waiting here for
I need Mayo (I won't fail you now)
Dear captain, send the SOS
When we're gonna do down
I need Mayo (I won't fail you now) (we're going down and you're all fucked up, for sure)
Dear captain, send the SOS
When we're gonna do down
Wound open and squeezing my heart against
This pain inflicts and in passion, I bleed for it
But with this what they gave me, yeah
This book and flint and a match to go with it
Still searching for your faith
In the arm the killed the president
Relapse, waiting here for
Still searching for your face
In the crowd that buried New Mexico
I'll be waiting here for
I need Mayo (I won't fail you now)
Dear captain, send the SOS
When we're gonna do down
I need Mayo (I won't fail you now) (we're going down and you're all fucked up, for sure)
Dear captain, send the SOS
When we're gonna do down
Have you ever heard the lyrics he sang?
In his thoughtful transmission, the words lost sentence remain
Sing his song, sing his song loud
Structure, will you be the engineer?
Where's your song, or have you lost the key or tone?
Thank god for your strength, no
Would you hold your breath
Waiting for me to exhale?
In the short life you lived?
Thank god for your strength, no
Would you hold your breath
Waiting for me to exhale?
In the short life you lived? (When you lived)
When you lived tonight (when you lived)
When you lived, when you lived
When you lived, when you lived, lived
Sit down and structure, will you be the engineer?
Still tired and dreaming out again and overboard
When pain kills you'll hate me and wait for, or
Then call me crazy and pretend I left us discontent and afraid
So what, so I'm crazy, yeah
Then send me justice and I'll have Paris in flames
Still searching for your faith
In the arm that killed the president
Relapse, waiting here for
Still searching for your face
In the crowd that killed the president
Relapse, waiting here for
I need Mayo (I won't fail you now)
Dear captain, send the SOS
When we're gonna do down
I need Mayo (I won't fail you now) (we're going down and you're all fucked up, for sure)
Dear captain, send the SOS
When we're gonna do down
Wound open and squeezing my heart against
This pain inflicts and in passion, I bleed for it
But with this what they gave me, yeah
This book and flint and a match to go with it
Still searching for your faith
In the arm the killed the president
Relapse, waiting here for
Still searching for your face
In the crowd that buried New Mexico
I'll be waiting here for
I need Mayo (I won't fail you now)
Dear captain, send the SOS
When we're gonna do down
I need Mayo (I won't fail you now) (we're going down and you're all fucked up, for sure)
Dear captain, send the SOS
When we're gonna do down

When you lived tonight (when you lived)
When you lived, when you lived
When you lived, when you lived, lived

@[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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
what do they say between "still searching for your face in the crowd that buried new mexico i'll be waiting here for" and "have you ever heard the lyrics he sang?"?! all i hear is just some weird babbling even weirder than the song itself. coheed and cambria rule ass, though.
