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.
Come on
"Grab the bull by the horns" the old adage goes
Nobody tells you where to go from there
Well, seems like fates pulling you
Decisions have to be made
The best path is the hardest earned
Back and forth, the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today, I'll become the bull (become the bull)
There is so much at stake
I stumble, I lose my place
Pride and arrogance surrounded by sin
Destiny takes its hold
Fight it or let it go
But I choose how the day will end
Back and forth, the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today, I'll become the bull (become the bull)
Today, I'll become the bull
This small heart can get lonely
I lose myself inside myself
No one can touch you when
You're outside staring in
Remove myself from this rat race
Back and forth, the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today, I'll become the bull (become the bull)
Today, I'll become the bull
Today, I'll become the bull
Today, I'll become the bull
Today, I'll become the bull
"Grab the bull by the horns" the old adage goes
Nobody tells you where to go from there
Well, seems like fates pulling you
Decisions have to be made
The best path is the hardest earned
Back and forth, the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today, I'll become the bull (become the bull)
There is so much at stake
I stumble, I lose my place
Pride and arrogance surrounded by sin
Destiny takes its hold
Fight it or let it go
But I choose how the day will end
Back and forth, the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today, I'll become the bull (become the bull)
Today, I'll become the bull
This small heart can get lonely
I lose myself inside myself
No one can touch you when
You're outside staring in
Remove myself from this rat race
Back and forth, the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today, I'll become the bull (become the bull)
Today, I'll become the bull
Today, I'll become the bull
Today, I'll become the bull
Today, I'll become the bull
