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.
I gotta stay strong
I gotta stay strong
Stay strong
I gotta stay strong
I stay strong for my gang on a daily
Watch out niggas pull up gang banging
On guard you can never catch me lacking
Shit happens always the same shit
I stay strong for my gang on a daily
Watch out niggas pull up gang banging
On guard you can never catch me lacking
Shit happens always the same shit
Look up every day to niggas who’ve fallen
Homie for sure you’ll never be forgotten
Shit always happen now you resting
Watch over us as we are riding
We earned shit haters be hating
Never happy always complaining
Copped a lick now these niggas leaking
Now I know who I am feeding
I got bros I got fam
I got hoes I got sam
You got niggas who got cams
That’s why you never gone ham
I got foes I got bide
I’m the truth I don’t lie
I cover up with a smile
Till you see the 45
I stay strong for my gang on a daily
Watch out niggas pull up gang banging
On guard you can never catch me lacking
Shit happens always the same shit
I stay strong for my gang on a daily
Watch out niggas pull up gang banging
On guard you can never catch me lacking
Shit happens always the same shit
I stay strong for my niggas
Ima shoot for my niggas
Swear to God ride for my niggas
Ima take a life now now now
Just for my niggas
Shoot for my niggas
Ima Shoot for my niggas
Ride or die for my niggas
These are my real niggas
For the fake ones for
For the fake ones for
I gotta stay strong
Stay strong
I gotta stay strong
I stay strong for my gang on a daily
Watch out niggas pull up gang banging
On guard you can never catch me lacking
Shit happens always the same shit
I stay strong for my gang on a daily
Watch out niggas pull up gang banging
On guard you can never catch me lacking
Shit happens always the same shit
Look up every day to niggas who’ve fallen
Homie for sure you’ll never be forgotten
Shit always happen now you resting
Watch over us as we are riding
We earned shit haters be hating
Never happy always complaining
Copped a lick now these niggas leaking
Now I know who I am feeding
I got bros I got fam
I got hoes I got sam
You got niggas who got cams
That’s why you never gone ham
I got foes I got bide
I’m the truth I don’t lie
I cover up with a smile
Till you see the 45
I stay strong for my gang on a daily
Watch out niggas pull up gang banging
On guard you can never catch me lacking
Shit happens always the same shit
I stay strong for my gang on a daily
Watch out niggas pull up gang banging
On guard you can never catch me lacking
Shit happens always the same shit
I stay strong for my niggas
Ima shoot for my niggas
Swear to God ride for my niggas
Ima take a life now now now
Just for my niggas
Shoot for my niggas
Ima Shoot for my niggas
Ride or die for my niggas
These are my real niggas
For the fake ones for
For the fake ones for

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”
Holiday

@[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.
