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.
(Are you ready?)
Ready, steady, can't hold me back
Ready, steady, give me good luck
Ready, steady, never look back
Let's get started
Ready, steady, go
吹き飛んでゆく風景
転がるように前へ
苦し紛れでも 標的はもう見逃さない
あてにならない地図
焼いてしまえば良いさ
埋もれた真実
この掌でつかみ取ろう
夢中で 早く 駆け抜けて来た
うるさいくらいに
張り裂けそうな鼓動の高鳴り
響いて 呼んでいる君の声
ここで立ち止まるような
時間は無いさ ready, steady, go
数えきれない傷 抱え込んでいても
ちょっとやそっとじゃ
魂までは奪わせない
あの丘の向こうで
君に出逢えたなら
何から話そう
そんな事ばかり思うよ
夢中で 早く 駆け抜けて来た
うるさいくらいに
張り裂けそうな鼓動の高鳴り
響いて 呼んでいる君の声
ここで立ち止まるような
時間は無いさ ready, steady, go
Are you ready?
Ready, steady, can't hold me back
Ready, steady, give me good luck
Ready, steady, never look back
Let's get started
Ready, steady, go
心は 走る あの空の下
空回りする気持ちが
叫び出すのを止められない
君まで 届け きっと (きっと) 後少し
熱く日差しが照らすこの道の向こう
Ready, steady, go
Ah, please trust me
Ready, steady, can't hold me back
Ready, steady, give me good luck
Ready, steady, never look back
Let's get started
Ready, steady, go
吹き飛んでゆく風景
転がるように前へ
苦し紛れでも 標的はもう見逃さない
あてにならない地図
焼いてしまえば良いさ
埋もれた真実
この掌でつかみ取ろう
夢中で 早く 駆け抜けて来た
うるさいくらいに
張り裂けそうな鼓動の高鳴り
響いて 呼んでいる君の声
ここで立ち止まるような
時間は無いさ ready, steady, go
数えきれない傷 抱え込んでいても
ちょっとやそっとじゃ
魂までは奪わせない
あの丘の向こうで
君に出逢えたなら
何から話そう
そんな事ばかり思うよ
夢中で 早く 駆け抜けて来た
うるさいくらいに
張り裂けそうな鼓動の高鳴り
響いて 呼んでいる君の声
ここで立ち止まるような
時間は無いさ ready, steady, go
Are you ready?
Ready, steady, can't hold me back
Ready, steady, give me good luck
Ready, steady, never look back
Let's get started
Ready, steady, go
心は 走る あの空の下
空回りする気持ちが
叫び出すのを止められない
君まで 届け きっと (きっと) 後少し
熱く日差しが照らすこの道の向こう
Ready, steady, go
Ah, please trust me

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
