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.
I'm creeping my way out so you can see me
I'm crawling my way around a thousand cities
You all stop and stare
I don't need your pity
I'm living my life in this hell.
Now I'm crawling away 'cause the stress has killed me
I feel like i fell from a ten story building
you best run and hide before the devil starts her bidding
I'm living my life in this hell
I'm not one for the crowd to see
It's just me
It's just-
Just a little more, c'mon and satisfy me.
Just a little more, c'mon lets terrify me
Just a little more and I'll be done with it
Take my life and then I'll feel okay
Cut it out of my mouth
put my tongue on the pole
I won't sing anymore
I'm losing control
Cut it out of my mouth
Put my tongue on a pole
Take the air from my lungs
Take the heart from my soul
I'm not one for the crowd to see
It's just me
It's just
Just a little more, c'mon and satisfy me.
Just a little more, c'mon lets terrify me
Just a little more and I'll be done with it
Take my life and then I'll feel okay
Okay.
I'll feel okay.
Okay!
Cut it out of my mouth
put my tongue on a pole
I don't sing anymore
I'm losing control
I won't song anymore
I'm creeping my way out so you can see me
I'm crawling my way around a thousand cities
You all stop and stare
I don't need your pity
I'm living my life in this hell.
Just a little more, c'mon and satisfy me.
Just a little more c'mon now terrify,
Just a little more and I'll be done with it
Take my life and then I'll feel
Take my life and then I'll feel
Take my life and then I'll feel
Okay!
"Oh, Oh God. I must have passed out."
"Dude"
"I woke up and I'd passed out"
"You just did"
I'm crawling my way around a thousand cities
You all stop and stare
I don't need your pity
I'm living my life in this hell.
Now I'm crawling away 'cause the stress has killed me
I feel like i fell from a ten story building
you best run and hide before the devil starts her bidding
I'm living my life in this hell
I'm not one for the crowd to see
It's just me
It's just-
Just a little more, c'mon and satisfy me.
Just a little more, c'mon lets terrify me
Just a little more and I'll be done with it
Take my life and then I'll feel okay
Cut it out of my mouth
put my tongue on the pole
I won't sing anymore
I'm losing control
Cut it out of my mouth
Put my tongue on a pole
Take the air from my lungs
Take the heart from my soul
I'm not one for the crowd to see
It's just me
It's just
Just a little more, c'mon and satisfy me.
Just a little more, c'mon lets terrify me
Just a little more and I'll be done with it
Take my life and then I'll feel okay
Okay.
I'll feel okay.
Okay!
Cut it out of my mouth
put my tongue on a pole
I don't sing anymore
I'm losing control
I won't song anymore
I'm creeping my way out so you can see me
I'm crawling my way around a thousand cities
You all stop and stare
I don't need your pity
I'm living my life in this hell.
Just a little more, c'mon and satisfy me.
Just a little more c'mon now terrify,
Just a little more and I'll be done with it
Take my life and then I'll feel
Take my life and then I'll feel
Take my life and then I'll feel
Okay!
"Oh, Oh God. I must have passed out."
"Dude"
"I woke up and I'd passed out"
"You just did"

@[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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I love this song. I don't really know what it means but I'm kinda leaning towards stev0xtrem0's idea. cuz at the end of the song when they're talking they're saying how the feel like they're gonna pass out or something. but who knows thats just what I think
