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.
Call us fearless, call us crazy.
Say what you want, say we're lazy!
Say we're just, the violent type.
Time has come y'know we're not too bright...
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
Tell your friends we're really sick,
Lie on yer backs an' comin' in trick
This you should know cause you're so cool,
Yer number one, yer nobody's fool.
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
Fuck you!!!
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
Step on over, baby, jump right in.
This is one game that everybody's in.
Don't care where you been, I don't care how you look,
It's all fire now, we're gonna cook.
We don't care what you say. Fuck You!
We don't care what you say, Fuck you!
We don't care what you say,
We don't care what you say,
We don't care what you say,
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Fuck you!!!
Say what you want, say we're lazy!
Say we're just, the violent type.
Time has come y'know we're not too bright...
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
Tell your friends we're really sick,
Lie on yer backs an' comin' in trick
This you should know cause you're so cool,
Yer number one, yer nobody's fool.
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
Fuck you!!!
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
We don't care what you say. Fuck you!
Step on over, baby, jump right in.
This is one game that everybody's in.
Don't care where you been, I don't care how you look,
It's all fire now, we're gonna cook.
We don't care what you say. Fuck You!
We don't care what you say, Fuck you!
We don't care what you say,
We don't care what you say,
We don't care what you say,
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Fuck you!!!

Holiday

@[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.
