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.
그을린 여름이
아직 가시지 않은 것 같은데
9月이 왔어
새학기가 시작되면서
하나 둘 떠오르는 가을의 이야기속에
우리 옷은 점점 짙어져 가고
우리 사랑도 짙어가고
무언가 약속받고 싶던 손 놓기 싫었던
그 9月이 왔어
나도 모르게 익숙해져 간
홀가분한 나의 계절이 마냥 싫진 않아
묘한 기대감들이
아직도 나를 늘 설레게 하는 9月이
지난 여름 여행 얘기와
까맣게 그을린 웃음에 날은 저물어
찌르르 귀뚜라미 지켜보던
우리 입맞춤의 그 밤에 바래다주고 오던 길이
너무 흐뭇한 그 9月이 왔어
나도 모르게 익숙해져 간
홀가분한 나의 계절이 마냥 싫진 않아
묘한 기대감들이
아직도 나를 늘 설레게 하는 9月이
아직 가시지 않은 것 같은데
9月이 왔어
새학기가 시작되면서
하나 둘 떠오르는 가을의 이야기속에
우리 옷은 점점 짙어져 가고
우리 사랑도 짙어가고
무언가 약속받고 싶던 손 놓기 싫었던
그 9月이 왔어
나도 모르게 익숙해져 간
홀가분한 나의 계절이 마냥 싫진 않아
묘한 기대감들이
아직도 나를 늘 설레게 하는 9月이
지난 여름 여행 얘기와
까맣게 그을린 웃음에 날은 저물어
찌르르 귀뚜라미 지켜보던
우리 입맞춤의 그 밤에 바래다주고 오던 길이
너무 흐뭇한 그 9月이 왔어
나도 모르게 익숙해져 간
홀가분한 나의 계절이 마냥 싫진 않아
묘한 기대감들이
아직도 나를 늘 설레게 하는 9月이

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
“A working title that stuck, which happens sometimes. September happens to be the month that I first saw (wife) Marisa. I didn’t actually meet her until months later when she came to interview me for Spin. I realized that I had seen her in the audience [at Irving Plaza during the Chutes Too Narrow tour], which is weird–for me to have that moment, especially without my glasses on. But she’s tall and she’s distinctive looking, and she was with somebody who looked a lot like her but was shorter. That’s what I told her when we met, and she was like, ‘I was with my younger sister.’ So we hit it off and never really looked back, and she decided it would be unethical to do the story.”
