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.
Girl you say that I have always been the one
You always want to but you never let me know
You've seen my video, I'm on the radio
And now it's all about me
But when I step to you
You step away from me
Remember how you played
Girl you said you wasn't feelin' me
You were never callin' me
Never used to ring my phone
Now you tell your friends that you know me
Say that we talk frequently
Now you all up in my songs
Girl you said you wasn't feelin' me
You were never callin' me
Never used to ring my phone
Girl I'm still the same guy that you think is a star
And now you're all alone
It's funny how you change
Now you want to step to me
But I ain't the one
You had your chance to be with me
So I gotta let you know, hear me on the radio
Or see me on your tv
'cause when I stepped to you
You stepped away from me
Now you're the one who's lonely
Girl you said you wasn't feelin me
You were never callin me
Never used to ring my phone
Now you tell your friends that you know me
Say that we talk frequently
Now you all up in my songs
Girl you said you wasn't feelin me
You were never callin me
Never used to ring my phone
Girl I'm still tht same guy that you think is a star
And now you're all alone
Girl you said you wasn't feelin me
You were never callin me
Never used to ring my phone
Now you tell your friends that you know me
Say that we talk frequently
Now you all up in my songs
Girl you said you wasn't feelin me
You were never callin me
Never used to ring my phone
Girl I'm still tht same guy that you think is a star
And now you're all alone
Girl, how see
You always want to but you never let me know
You've seen my video, I'm on the radio
And now it's all about me
But when I step to you
You step away from me
Remember how you played
Girl you said you wasn't feelin' me
You were never callin' me
Never used to ring my phone
Now you tell your friends that you know me
Say that we talk frequently
Now you all up in my songs
Girl you said you wasn't feelin' me
You were never callin' me
Never used to ring my phone
Girl I'm still the same guy that you think is a star
And now you're all alone
It's funny how you change
Now you want to step to me
But I ain't the one
You had your chance to be with me
So I gotta let you know, hear me on the radio
Or see me on your tv
'cause when I stepped to you
You stepped away from me
Now you're the one who's lonely
Girl you said you wasn't feelin me
You were never callin me
Never used to ring my phone
Now you tell your friends that you know me
Say that we talk frequently
Now you all up in my songs
Girl you said you wasn't feelin me
You were never callin me
Never used to ring my phone
Girl I'm still tht same guy that you think is a star
And now you're all alone
Girl you said you wasn't feelin me
You were never callin me
Never used to ring my phone
Now you tell your friends that you know me
Say that we talk frequently
Now you all up in my songs
Girl you said you wasn't feelin me
You were never callin me
Never used to ring my phone
Girl I'm still tht same guy that you think is a star
And now you're all alone
Girl, how see

@[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.

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.

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.
