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.
Y que hay de malo
Cuando solo les bastaba
Estar allí abrazados
Como una pareja más
Y que hay de malo
Si el amor no elige sexo
Si el amor es solo un nexo
Que los une allí a los dos
Que mas da, hombre o mujer
Que mas da, rosa o clavel
Seda o satén, es humano
El amor que mostraban
Cada vez que se veían
Sin hablarse se decían tantas cosas que
Hasta yo mismo oía
Y así como si el resto no existiera
Arrancando alguna envidia y porqué no
Que mas da, hombre o mujer
Que mas da, rosa o clavel
Seda o satén, que mas da, que mas da
Rosa o clavel
Rosa o clavel
Rosa o clavel
Y nos van diciendo que ya es hora, es una realidad
Solo esperan que no les des la espalda
Si hay algo que debería
Tocar a todos por igual, oh
Sin duda es el amor
Que mas da, hombre o mujer
Que mas da, rosa o clavel
Seda o satén, rosa o clavel
Que mas da, hombre o mujer
Que mas da, rosa o clavel
Seda o satén, es humano
Rosa o clavel
Rosa o clavel
Rosa o clavel
Cuando solo les bastaba
Estar allí abrazados
Como una pareja más
Y que hay de malo
Si el amor no elige sexo
Si el amor es solo un nexo
Que los une allí a los dos
Que mas da, hombre o mujer
Que mas da, rosa o clavel
Seda o satén, es humano
El amor que mostraban
Cada vez que se veían
Sin hablarse se decían tantas cosas que
Hasta yo mismo oía
Y así como si el resto no existiera
Arrancando alguna envidia y porqué no
Que mas da, hombre o mujer
Que mas da, rosa o clavel
Seda o satén, que mas da, que mas da
Rosa o clavel
Rosa o clavel
Rosa o clavel
Y nos van diciendo que ya es hora, es una realidad
Solo esperan que no les des la espalda
Si hay algo que debería
Tocar a todos por igual, oh
Sin duda es el amor
Que mas da, hombre o mujer
Que mas da, rosa o clavel
Seda o satén, rosa o clavel
Que mas da, hombre o mujer
Que mas da, rosa o clavel
Seda o satén, es humano
Rosa o clavel
Rosa o clavel
Rosa o clavel
