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.
The other night when we kissed
You told me I was yours forever
But when I woke up the next morning, you were gone
Come back baby
Come into my arms
You, you showed me how love could be
Just show me how much you need
You've always been by my side
Oh, baby that's no lie
'Cause I, I've always been true to you
I've always loved one, that's true
Oh baby, can't you see that it's you
You know that I love you so
[Chorus: x 2]
Come into my arms baby, I know how you feel
Come into my arms baby, this love for you is real
I've always been too much for you it burns inside
To wake up in the morning and you're not by my side
You, you shared your thoughts with me
You shared your secrecies
And oh, how that makes me feel
Listen baby, lets be forever
'Cause I, I know I will always be good
I know in my heart I should
I'll never ever do you wrong
My love for you is strong
[Chorus: x 2]
You were not by my side
Why aren't you here
We, we can't just let this die
You gotta give our love a try
Oh please be by my side
Don't even begin to cry
'Cause I, I'm waiting to be with you
Just give me the chance to prove
That I'm the only one for you
You know I was the one
[Chorus: x 2]
You were not by my side, your not by my side
Why aren't you here
So please be by my side
Please be by my side
Come into my arms baby, I know how you feel
This love for you is real
It burns inside
I know you're sorry you did me wrong
But until then I'll remember
You'll be back, back into my arms
You told me I was yours forever
But when I woke up the next morning, you were gone
Come back baby
Come into my arms
You, you showed me how love could be
Just show me how much you need
You've always been by my side
Oh, baby that's no lie
'Cause I, I've always been true to you
I've always loved one, that's true
Oh baby, can't you see that it's you
You know that I love you so
[Chorus: x 2]
Come into my arms baby, I know how you feel
Come into my arms baby, this love for you is real
I've always been too much for you it burns inside
To wake up in the morning and you're not by my side
You, you shared your thoughts with me
You shared your secrecies
And oh, how that makes me feel
Listen baby, lets be forever
'Cause I, I know I will always be good
I know in my heart I should
I'll never ever do you wrong
My love for you is strong
[Chorus: x 2]
You were not by my side
Why aren't you here
We, we can't just let this die
You gotta give our love a try
Oh please be by my side
Don't even begin to cry
'Cause I, I'm waiting to be with you
Just give me the chance to prove
That I'm the only one for you
You know I was the one
[Chorus: x 2]
You were not by my side, your not by my side
Why aren't you here
So please be by my side
Please be by my side
Come into my arms baby, I know how you feel
This love for you is real
It burns inside
I know you're sorry you did me wrong
But until then I'll remember
You'll be back, back into my arms

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
