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.
Dignified in what she does when she sings
The smile that she brings to all of you unaware
Of what's to come
I said tell me what's to come
Green is the color of my envy
It's the color of fame
So I'm gonna write it down to scream it out
And I'm never gonna be the same again
Fear is the color you've all exposed
Now I gotta get up here
And prove the importance
Of my clothes of my pose I suppose again
Hard core superstar by far
You're the ultimate star
Do you want to be a superstar
Well that's what you are
You're gonna be a star
Do you want to be a superstar?
Clever in what she does
Competing for the attention
Of those people that you know
My whole life revolves around
Your absence until
I can't remember what I was or what I am
Who I know or what I know or where I go
Every moment was that moment
Every day was that day
Every second was that second
And I've lost myself again
Soon my face will be on every magazine
And then my voice will be on every frequency
Take my heart while you're at it why don't you
Sign me up to sell me out
I am my angel 'til death I do
I saw my first angel
And it was you
The smile that she brings to all of you unaware
Of what's to come
I said tell me what's to come
Green is the color of my envy
It's the color of fame
So I'm gonna write it down to scream it out
And I'm never gonna be the same again
Fear is the color you've all exposed
Now I gotta get up here
And prove the importance
Of my clothes of my pose I suppose again
Hard core superstar by far
You're the ultimate star
Do you want to be a superstar
Well that's what you are
You're gonna be a star
Do you want to be a superstar?
Clever in what she does
Competing for the attention
Of those people that you know
My whole life revolves around
Your absence until
I can't remember what I was or what I am
Who I know or what I know or where I go
Every moment was that moment
Every day was that day
Every second was that second
And I've lost myself again
Soon my face will be on every magazine
And then my voice will be on every frequency
Take my heart while you're at it why don't you
Sign me up to sell me out
I am my angel 'til death I do
I saw my first angel
And it was you

@[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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
i love this song. they were recommended to me by one of my friends and im so glad she told me. so awesome! i love how they are just two girls with two guitars and they are so different yet they are twins.
