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.
I don't think you want to be the one to see inside yourself
I don't think you want to understand that it clouds up your mind
I don't think you want to undermine
I don't think you want the bottomline
I don't think you want to see inside this goal that you've created
No, you don't even listen
You don't even hear me until I scream at you
Now, I see your intention
A new intervention just to wear me down
Breed, selected division
You're on a collision course with your beliefs
Find a new evolution
You're full of solutions now that you're born again
Reborn like a motherfucking stillborn
All devoid of feeling reborn
All devoid of feeling
I don't think you'll ever be the one to take the blame yourself
I don't think you'd even want to try to see through different eyes
I don't think you want to sacrifice
I don't think you want to fucking try
I don't think you want to step outside this lie that's been inbedded
Think, it's all a delusion
Relieve your confusion when you put me down
Fear, afraid to accept it
You only defend it 'cause it's handed down
Faith, it's all on the surface
It's only convenient when you follow through
No, I'm not gonna give in
You're already beaten when you're born again
It's time to make the cut
And let you bleed for yourself on your own
Of all the things I need
Is just for you to stop from judging me
Sick
So get the fuck away from me
You make me sick
So stay the fuck away from me
Reborn like a motherfucking stillborn
I don't think you want to understand that it clouds up your mind
I don't think you want to undermine
I don't think you want the bottomline
I don't think you want to see inside this goal that you've created
No, you don't even listen
You don't even hear me until I scream at you
Now, I see your intention
A new intervention just to wear me down
Breed, selected division
You're on a collision course with your beliefs
Find a new evolution
You're full of solutions now that you're born again
Reborn like a motherfucking stillborn
All devoid of feeling reborn
All devoid of feeling
I don't think you'll ever be the one to take the blame yourself
I don't think you'd even want to try to see through different eyes
I don't think you want to sacrifice
I don't think you want to fucking try
I don't think you want to step outside this lie that's been inbedded
Think, it's all a delusion
Relieve your confusion when you put me down
Fear, afraid to accept it
You only defend it 'cause it's handed down
Faith, it's all on the surface
It's only convenient when you follow through
No, I'm not gonna give in
You're already beaten when you're born again
It's time to make the cut
And let you bleed for yourself on your own
Of all the things I need
Is just for you to stop from judging me
Sick
So get the fuck away from me
You make me sick
So stay the fuck away from me
Reborn like a motherfucking stillborn

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This is my favorite song by Spineshank. Im not much of a fan of nu-metal, but these guys are good and they are really good live.
Well, they were...
