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.
This is your time to pay
This is your judgment day
We made a sacrifice
And now we get to take your life
We shoot without a gun
We'll take on anyone
It's really nothing new
It's just a thing we like to do
You better get ready to die
You better get ready to kill
You better get ready to run
'Cause here we come
You better get ready to die
Your life is over now
Your life is running out
When your time is at an end
Then it's time to kill again
We cut without a knife
We live in black and white
Your just a parasite
Now close your eyes and say good-night
You better get ready to die
You better get ready to kill
You better get ready to run
'Cause here we come
You better get ready to die
Get ready to die
You better get ready to die, get ready to die
This is your judgment day
We made a sacrifice
And now we get to take your life
We shoot without a gun
We'll take on anyone
It's really nothing new
It's just a thing we like to do
You better get ready to die
You better get ready to kill
You better get ready to run
'Cause here we come
You better get ready to die
Your life is over now
Your life is running out
When your time is at an end
Then it's time to kill again
We cut without a knife
We live in black and white
Your just a parasite
Now close your eyes and say good-night
You better get ready to die
You better get ready to kill
You better get ready to run
'Cause here we come
You better get ready to die
Get ready to die
You better get ready to die, get ready to die

@[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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

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/

Andrew W.K. is an amazing artist. I will not bibble or babble, but honestly he takes music to a new dimension and pours nothing but pure energy into his music. To do this is a talent beyond any other that any modern musician can comprehend. He is a diamond in the rough because in an era where there is nothing but whiny teenage punk rock, which don't get me wrong has it's own perks and intriguing music, but for someone to take a chance with these fans and make the usic Andrew W.K. makes proves he is making this music not just for money, but he is making music for the fans, for himself, and plain and simply for the love of music, which many current modern day artists fail to do. You can think whatever you will of Andrew W.K., you can bash his music, youc an bash his fans, you can do as you please it's your opinion, but I am on the other end of the spectrum and I will say Andrew W.K. deserves respect as a muscian because he does somethign rare these days, which for your information emochris whatever bands you listen to fail to produce in their music, Andrew W.K. suceeds in making catchy tunes with amazing music that makes youw ant to do what music is suppsed to do...have fun. Now if you can't accept my opinion here which many will agree with and many will disagree with then you can leave this site without saying another word.Now as far as emochris being an idol then my friends you need to open your eyes smell the fresh air and take your heads out of your asses. And well you can say whatever you will about me but I alone have the intellect of multiple chimpanezes, in fact I guarantee I am smarter than emochris and all his goons combined, and I also guarantee that I could beat the living flaming crap out of every one of your unappreciative asses. Therefore next time you want to trash a song or an artist you can do so because tehre is a such thing as freedom of speech, but you can't knock an artist wihtout at least admitting that the fans have a right ot love the music that drives the engines and fuel their motors....because to tell you the god awful truth emochris you sound like a little child bashing on the fans defending their favorite music....and honestly that makes you look like a real ass. I can dish the insults and i can take them so if you really want to make a battle about this you can do so...but as I see it I have...oh....the rest of my life to make you look like the cynical fools and assholes you really are. Good day.
