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 world ends here
The world ends here
How many times
Have we been washed out to sea
Drowning and grasping for a breath of fresh air
It's hard to recognize the shores from the water
I need help
I need help
I don't feel real, today there's something going on upstairs
And it's not so easy when you're one and two with reality
And I'm trying to find a way back in
This eats at me from the inside
This drives me to the point of peeling me fucking skin off
My chest beats out of place
And I don't whether today will be the end or a new beginning
Rage
Before I open the gates
I will warn you
To find some shelter
To find some solace
As we march into hell
As we march into hell
I need help
I don't feel real, today there's something going on upstairs
And it's not so easy when you're one and two with reality
And I'm trying to find a way back in
And I'm one two
With reality
And I'm freaking out
Someone please grab me I'm reaching out
Before I open the flood gates
I will warn you
Find some solace
Oi, we done? Nope
Rage
The world ends here
How many times
Have we been washed out to sea
Drowning and grasping for a breath of fresh air
It's hard to recognize the shores from the water
I need help
I need help
I don't feel real, today there's something going on upstairs
And it's not so easy when you're one and two with reality
And I'm trying to find a way back in
This eats at me from the inside
This drives me to the point of peeling me fucking skin off
My chest beats out of place
And I don't whether today will be the end or a new beginning
Rage
Before I open the gates
I will warn you
To find some shelter
To find some solace
As we march into hell
As we march into hell
I need help
I don't feel real, today there's something going on upstairs
And it's not so easy when you're one and two with reality
And I'm trying to find a way back in
And I'm one two
With reality
And I'm freaking out
Someone please grab me I'm reaching out
Before I open the flood gates
I will warn you
Find some solace
Oi, we done? Nope
Rage

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
