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.
She, she don't seem strange to me, I was in love and too blind to see, oh
She (she) warned me to treat her right (get that warning)
She wouldn't let no one hurt her inside, no
Chorus:
She is such a voodoo, she won't let me go - should have believed her before
She is such a voodoo, needles in a doll, everything's been my own fault
Still I see that look in her eyes (get that warning)
And she said she's sad with me or my life (tell me what you told her then)
When (when) I told her it's over (now it's over)
She just said "No (no), I won't let you go" (she'll never let you go)
(chorus)
When I tried to get away, suddenly everything hurts
She's got a way to make me stay, kind of a voodoo curse
(Solo)
(chorus)
She won't let me go (she), she won't let me go (she is such a voodoo)
It's my own fault!
