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.
As they all felt the fire
They turned me into an outsider
I never heard from them again
So ironic when you called for a favor today
It's always easy to judge
But takes a lot to be specific
'cause as you preach you're opening the door
To your egos past
There was a day when I could forget
I could forgive but those days are gone
I see them fade
Filth runs in every new day
I learned to mute the anger
I never thought I would be there again
A moment, a dead end
I lost myself in here
I ran as I saw the end
Should I've joined the fight instead?
Hope you're listening
'cause now times have changed
I take a look around
Say this moment's mine
Flee all the weak minds
Feel my missed hidden rage
They turned me into an outsider
I never heard from them again
So ironic when you called for a favor today
It's always easy to judge
But takes a lot to be specific
'cause as you preach you're opening the door
To your egos past
There was a day when I could forget
I could forgive but those days are gone
I see them fade
Filth runs in every new day
I learned to mute the anger
I never thought I would be there again
A moment, a dead end
I lost myself in here
I ran as I saw the end
Should I've joined the fight instead?
Hope you're listening
'cause now times have changed
I take a look around
Say this moment's mine
Flee all the weak minds
Feel my missed hidden rage
