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.
Who the fuck
Do you think you are
Get out
Of my hair
Who the fuck
Do you think you are
Comin' round
Here
Who the fuck?
Who the fuck?
Who the fuck
Do you think you are
Get your comb
Out of there
Combing out
My hair
I'm not like other girls
You can't straighten my curls
I'm not like other girls
You can't straighten my curls
Who the fuck
You tryin' to be?
Get your dog
Away from me!
What the fuck
You doing in there
Get your dirty fingers
Outta my hair!
Who?
Who?
Who?
Who?
Fuck!
Fuck!
Fuck!
You
I'm free
You'll see
I'm me
You'll see
Who?
Do you think you are
Get out
Of my hair
Who the fuck
Do you think you are
Comin' round
Here
Who the fuck?
Who the fuck?
Who the fuck
Do you think you are
Get your comb
Out of there
Combing out
My hair
I'm not like other girls
You can't straighten my curls
I'm not like other girls
You can't straighten my curls
Who the fuck
You tryin' to be?
Get your dog
Away from me!
What the fuck
You doing in there
Get your dirty fingers
Outta my hair!
Who?
Who?
Who?
Who?
Fuck!
Fuck!
Fuck!
You
I'm free
You'll see
I'm me
You'll see
Who?

@[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.

“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.

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.
I love this song, works for me as i have curly hair :D
ffs, those things mentioned are metaphors.
What an anthem. I'm not like other girls. :)
The lyrics are pretty obvious and self-explanatory. I hated this song at first, but it grows on you...
i kinda like this song i can see where she relates from..... I'm not like other girls plus i have curls =)
It does grow on you. I like the whole aggressiveness. I can imagine Avril Lavigne singing this too, but she's too poppy...
