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.
Baby I'ma be straight up
Don't waste no time
I know you ain't my, you ain't my baby
Do you think about us
Do I cross your mind anytime
I know that you, you're taken
It'll never change
'Cause it's always been that way
But you know that you (you)
Can't fake it (ah-ah)
He can't give you what I got here right now
Girl, I know what you want
No phones, we ain't even gotta talk (uh)
Next time that he leave you all alone
I'm gon' come through, replace him
I'm gon' watch you, get naked (I'm gon' watch you, get naked)
I'm gon' tell you, girl take it (I'ma tell you to take it)
Next time that he leave you all alone
I'll give you all the love he not
I'm about to take his spot
(Let your man know that)
Mr. Steal Your Girl is back
(So let your man know that)
Mr. Steal Your Girl is back, back (oh)
Baby, let me tell you what's up
I don't trust that nigga, fuck that nigga
Stop bringing him up (oh)
Baby, I ain't never gave no fucks
One fuck's too much, unless you're talking about us
But I know that you taken (han-han)
It'll never change
'Cause it's always been that way
But you know that you, can't fake it (you, you, you)
He can't give you what I got here right now
Girl, I know what you want (what you want babe)
No phones, we ain't even gotta talk (we ain't gotta talk, nah-nah)
Next time that he leave you all alone
I'm gon' come through, replace him
I'm gon' watch you, get naked (I'm gon' watch you, get naked)
I'm gon' tell you, girl take it (I'ma tell you to take it)
Next time that he leave you all alone
I'll give you all the love he not

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
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.
