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.
yo, we just flossed this shit
its a new beat track, what have you
word up hope you like it
straight, straight up
if i had headphones i'd like for you to turn them up
but i dont so fuck you
brother shaant
word up word up
and the somethings in my celing but i dont remember buying it
i dnt remember putting it there
i wonder how it got there, anywhere
and its beating the shit outta my head and its beating the shit outta my brain
shit
beating the shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
but managing to overcome
of being upset over with what i've done
it's just the beginning
and when people cant relate
i hold the mistakes
to be great
but my glass is still half full
and the sip is still a mouth full
and i cantopen mine untill i swallow
but now i am given time to plan the words thay will follow
and they might be shallow and they might be hollow
(phone rings)
i honestly hate you, that was soo good
(hello,yeah,oh,ok,yeah,yeah,whats up?,oh yeah,'course goobbye)
(actully someones calling me as well)
yo sorry for that intruption
were popular bitches
right right
(my mom called)
so did so did my dad
(laughs)
fuck you bitch
use a trick trick trick trick
yo keep that, keep that, keep that going, keep, keep, keep that going
whos to know untill i let them borrow my voice to get to you
i will tell by the look that your face borrows fromyour brain
or whatever my tone may ordaine
shit
the managing to overcome
of being upset over with what i've done
it's just the beginning
and when people cant relate
i hold the mistakes i make to be great
but we got a pencil pusher up in here
when we know what to do but we knoe what to fear
and every time i up and down this block i find what i've found
and maybe later, and maybe later
we can go get ice cream
but when i find out your favourite color
favourite flavour (flava flave)
i'll fucking punch you in the face (laughs)
but managing to overcome
of being upset over with what i've done
it's just the beginning
and when people cant relate
i hold the mistakes i make to be great
i make to be great
i make to be great
i make to be great
word!
yo use a trick, trick, trick,trick

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
yeaa this song just makes me laugh.
i would like to think that that is how i would be as a ganster. oh i'm sorry - "GANSTA".
