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.
Break my face in was the kindest touch you
Ever gave
Wrap my dreams around your thighs and
Drape my hopes upon the chance to touch your arm
Fabulous Muscles
Cremate me after you cum on my lips
Honey boy place my ashes in a vase beneath your workout bench
No romance, no sexiness but
A star filled night
Kneeling down before now familiar flesh of your deformed penis
Wigging out before the unfamiliar flesh of my broken neck
Fabulous Muscles
Cremate me after you cum on my lips
Honey boy place my ashes in a vase beneath your workout bench
Fabulous Muscles
Cremate me after you cum on my lips
Honey boy place my ashes in a vase beneath your workout bench
Ever gave
Wrap my dreams around your thighs and
Drape my hopes upon the chance to touch your arm
Fabulous Muscles
Cremate me after you cum on my lips
Honey boy place my ashes in a vase beneath your workout bench
No romance, no sexiness but
A star filled night
Kneeling down before now familiar flesh of your deformed penis
Wigging out before the unfamiliar flesh of my broken neck
Fabulous Muscles
Cremate me after you cum on my lips
Honey boy place my ashes in a vase beneath your workout bench
Fabulous Muscles
Cremate me after you cum on my lips
Honey boy place my ashes in a vase beneath your workout bench

@[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 song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
This used to be my thing. Hook up with some steroid queen from Gold's, all swollen muscle bellies, striated limbs, veins like a tangle of electrical cables, shrivelled hormone-addled cock and recessed balls. I would imagine being overpowered by him, my neck between his lats and hammy triceps, being crushed under his heaving bulk, all blood and cum, just before my eyes pulled into their sockets and my lungs collapse the last thing I see is his towering indifferent figure, toweling off like he just finished a set.
9 years after the fact, but I made an account here for no other reason than tell you this is the best written post I've ever seen in a comments section. <br /> <br /> If you're not a writer, you should consider becoming one.
I think this song is meant to be a "fuck you" to someone. It's just supposed to convey all the pain and shit that he went through. It's about idolization. And being so infatuated with someone, and so obsessed with how they make you feel that you don't even notice everything they put you through until you're so broken you can't do anything about it. It feels like closure.
obviously this song is about the narrator (who we can assume is a male- Jamie Stewart) hooking up with a guy who is "straight", but uses him for oral sex. "break my face" he probably shoved his weiner upon him ungracefully, but that is the "Kindest touch" he'll ever receive from him. "wrap my dreams around your thighs" wrap his head/mind around his thighs while he's blowing. "drape my hope upon the chance to touch your arm" this guy who is getting blown by him im sure is so embarrassed to be gay he won't even let the blower (jamie stewart) touch him in any other way. fabulous muscles = the penis is a muscle. "cremete him after he cums on his face" meaning, there is no point for the narrator to go on anymore, he lives to do this and after, he knows hes going to be sent home by this guy so he would just rather be cremeted. "put my ushes underneath your work out bench" work out bench, a very manly thing to have. "no sexiness, no romance" because the guy who is getting sucked off doesn't want any of that, he just wants a blowjob. "but a starfilled night" the narrator is so pleased just to be able to give this guy head, he's finding an upside to it." kneeling down before the now familiar flesh of your deformed penis" meaning this isn't the first time this has happened. this isn't the first time he is getting used to give this guy head. this is probably why the song was inspired, he's tired of being used and not receiving any love back. "wigging out before the unfamiliar flash" meaning, he's probably getting excited "wigging out" because he knows he's going to cum. "of my broken neck" when guys are about to ejaculate they really enjoy when you suck on it well. so they tend to thrust your neck pretty hard.
you idiots. its totally obvious what this song is about.
If anyone has read the book mama black widow the song pretty much is about what happens to otis.
i'm currently reading the "Mama Black Widow" book right now--i accidentally found it in a bookstore, and got it on a whim just because i love this song.
the novel is just like many xiu xiu songs, full of heartbreak and tragedy. no wonder jamie wrote a song about the main character. he perfectly captured the rawness of the novel and made it his own. fucking gold!
Perhaps not. The last four lines don't make sense to me.
For the rest, my interpretation is simply that this is about a girl who is absolutely in love with a guy who simply uses her for sex. She realizes this, but can't admit it to herself.
The 'of your deformed penis' is what throws me off. Perhaps it is a reference to him not caring; that he doesn't even have an erection?
A girl/guy is in love with this guy who kills them.
Actually it's two guys. They're gay.
