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 Touch, last touch, this touch, break thee
the words to soft to be spoken
bow down on a wire
try to hunt for the charred fields of snow
what i have become
right no you hold us up
right now depsose of
dire desposed of truth
one by one the souls will take you over
and i thought that your time has come
to pick you up,
broken hearts tell what you have loved
the answers freed and you contempt
this pain is from you
right now dispose of you
dier dispsose of truth
why why
you think you have broken us down you have not
you think you have broken us down you have not
you break me before i go on , who deserves this pain
you always find a way to have your own
the words to soft to be spoken
bow down on a wire
try to hunt for the charred fields of snow
what i have become
right no you hold us up
right now depsose of
dire desposed of truth
one by one the souls will take you over
and i thought that your time has come
to pick you up,
broken hearts tell what you have loved
the answers freed and you contempt
this pain is from you
right now dispose of you
dier dispsose of truth
why why
you think you have broken us down you have not
you think you have broken us down you have not
you break me before i go on , who deserves this pain
you always find a way to have your own

This Touch. last touch. this touch. won't break me. a word too soft to be spoken. wrapped in barbed wire. and traveling amongst the charred, fields of snow. i have become wounded. for the souls lost in this display of self rightous ideals. break for im the one who deserves this pain. the innocent will find. the innocent will find their place in heaven. this pain will not stop. i now dispose of you. one by one their souls will take you over. the pain of thousands, your time has come. to think you have broken us down. you have not. the innocent are free now. and you're condemned.
