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.
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
You're not as old as the trees
Not as young as the leaves
You're not as free as the breeze
Not as open as the sea
And your heart hasn't found a home
Endlessly it seems to roam
One day you will find inexhaustable ecstacy
And you will see
That you're beautiful and always have been
And everybody else can see
The love that you've been looking for
Is right there inside your door
Little Miss Divinity
You're the one that you've been looking for
Little Miss Divinity
Won't you lay your love on thee?
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
If you need a friend then I'll be sailing right by your side
But if you need a lover you must leave it all behind
And if you need direction, the world can seem unkind
So listen closely my love
You have time
You're doing fine
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
You're not as old as the trees
Not as young as the leaves
You're not as free as the breeze
Not as open as the sea
And your heart hasn't found a home
Endlessly it seems to roam
One day you will find inexhaustable ecstacy
And you will see
That you're beautiful and always have been
And everybody else can see
The love that you've been looking for
Is right there inside your door
Little Miss Divinity
You're the one that you've been looking for
Little Miss Divinity
Won't you lay your love on thee?
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
If you need a friend then I'll be sailing right by your side
But if you need a lover you must leave it all behind
And if you need direction, the world can seem unkind
So listen closely my love
You have time
You're doing fine
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey
Hey now now now now now
Hey now na na hey

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

Bee Gees
@[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.
