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.
Crazy Mary's a slow girl who looks up to no one
Would do anything for a cold one
Wishes she could find her way home
Got the look on her face
And her stare's like a ray gun
As we walked by everything and
I wished there's something I could do for her
May be If I
Took a little time to talk
Then she'd heal a little if she wants to
She can run but let's teach her
How to walk away now
I'll shake a little if she wants to
Laugh a little if she needs to
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind
She watches the world pass her by like a freight train
And they all call her the same names
Laughing as they point and stare at her
So she cries out to god up in heaven
Been praying since she was eleven
For him to send someone to meet her there
May be If I
Took a little time to talk
Then she'd heal a little if she wants to
She can run but let's teach her
How to walk away now
I'll shake a little if she wants to she'll
Laugh a little if she needs to
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind
And no one knows the thoughts and the dreams and ideas
That she's got and contains inside
She's so broken apart
And her hearts is still looking for somewhere to feel alright
And no one knows the thoughts and the dreams and ideas
That she's got and contains inside
She's so broken apart
And her hearts is still looking for somewhere to feel alright
May be If I
Took a little time to talk
Then she'd heal a little if she wants to
She can run but let's teach her
How to walk away now
I'll shake a little if she wants to she'll
Laugh a little if she needs to
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind
Would do anything for a cold one
Wishes she could find her way home
Got the look on her face
And her stare's like a ray gun
As we walked by everything and
I wished there's something I could do for her
May be If I
Took a little time to talk
Then she'd heal a little if she wants to
She can run but let's teach her
How to walk away now
I'll shake a little if she wants to
Laugh a little if she needs to
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind
She watches the world pass her by like a freight train
And they all call her the same names
Laughing as they point and stare at her
So she cries out to god up in heaven
Been praying since she was eleven
For him to send someone to meet her there
May be If I
Took a little time to talk
Then she'd heal a little if she wants to
She can run but let's teach her
How to walk away now
I'll shake a little if she wants to she'll
Laugh a little if she needs to
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind
And no one knows the thoughts and the dreams and ideas
That she's got and contains inside
She's so broken apart
And her hearts is still looking for somewhere to feel alright
And no one knows the thoughts and the dreams and ideas
That she's got and contains inside
She's so broken apart
And her hearts is still looking for somewhere to feel alright
May be If I
Took a little time to talk
Then she'd heal a little if she wants to
She can run but let's teach her
How to walk away now
I'll shake a little if she wants to she'll
Laugh a little if she needs to
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[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.
Hi Allie!! or saved by music hey, guess wat? i talked to Jasmine!! Isn't this song just sooooo great.
