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.
Waking ten times to take a piss
You can taste the cancer in my morning kiss
Scratch the rash on my back it's perfect bliss
You want a life companion and you're getting this
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
You have to look away of every meal
Inconvenient but that's the deal
This it what, we become when nothing's real
Mental wounds that never heal
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
You can taste the cancer in my morning kiss
Scratch the rash on my back it's perfect bliss
You want a life companion and you're getting this
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
You have to look away of every meal
Inconvenient but that's the deal
This it what, we become when nothing's real
Mental wounds that never heal
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times

@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
thank you for these lyrics the flash to this kicks so much ass...such an odd twist to it also
Lodger is awesome. I had to submit these when I realized that I couldn't find decent Lodger lyrics anywhere.
this song is pretty.
It's a tad obvious what this song is about, but I'll post anyway :)
About the repetition, and suckiness of life. It's from a sexually frustrated, and probably old man's perspective. But by old, not like old as in age but worn out from life, et cetera. If you saw the video you can understand the repetition better since it just shows the man going back and forth between his job :(
And he probably think his girlfriend deserves better, obviously, "You want a life companion and you're getting this," the tone of the song isn't really suggesting that the speaker is up to par with the woman's expectations.
Yeah, life can suck sometimes. No money or sex. That's why there's bands! Wheee!
Lol, I can't wait till someone owns me and say that I'm completely wrong.
Through the video, it seems to be simply an addendum to actually loving death and the crappiness of life.
However, the lyrics seem to be talking about one inflicted with cancer and simply waiting to die. His lover, of course, is there with him through the duration of the end. The title depicts love for death as redemption from the burden he is on his lover, less than a morbid self-interested desire.

Completely agreed with Derek above. Just a man who's waiting to die who realises life is boring and monotonous.
crapness of life.
