이제는 밥을 먹어도
눈물 없이는 삼키지 못해
억지로 먹고 먹어도 속이 늘 허전해
노래를 들어도 흥얼대지도 못해
영화를 봐도 내가 뭘 본 건지 기억 못해

밥도 잘 먹지 못해 네가 생각날까 봐
네 생각에 체할까 봐 네가 떠난 후로
오늘도 눈물로 하루를 먹고 살아
버스도 타지 못해 누가 날 욕할까 봐
우는 날 놀려댈까 봐 아무것도 못 해
너 없인 나 혼자 살지 못해

이제는 술을 마셔도
눈물 없이는 마시질 못해
아무리 병을 비워도 너만 더 생각해
살아서 뭐 해 넌 내 곁에 없는데
혼자 뭘 어째 아무것도 할 수 없는 난데

밥도 잘 먹지 못해 네가 생각날까 봐
네 생각에 체할까 봐 네가 떠난 후로
오늘도 눈물로 하루를 먹고 살아
버스도 타지 못해 누가 날 욕할까 봐
우는 날 놀려댈까 봐 아무것도 못 해
너 없인 나 혼자 살지 못해

너 없이 웃는 것도 난 못해
너 없이 걷는 것도 난 못해
아무것도 아무것도 못 해
내겐 네 사랑이 필요해
혼자 살아서 뭐 해
네가 더 잘 알잖아
너 없인 나 안 되잖아
너밖에 몰라서 너 없인
밥조차 먹지 못하는 나인데
차마 죽지도 못해
네가 돌아올까 봐 아무것도 못 해
오늘도 내일도 너만 원해

    Anyone who is putting this song down needs to shut up....this was not meant for you and you'll never understand it. This is for every young kid growing up in the slum who isnt even given the chance to succeed, to keep your head up and to send the message that it is possible to be a black kid from the hood and make something of yourself besides a rapper or a drug dealer.

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 about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday

@[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.
