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.
You must not have a heart,
Have nothing in your chest,
To let it go for so long,
And let this go so far,
That it goes over your head.
You could fool anyone,
With your pensive smile,
And you could live in your lie,
For only a while,
And I can only take so much,
(From not so far away)
And I admit this could be love,
(But love can always wait)
But it goes over your head.
What does she have?
Can you let go?
Can you tell me,
What I am aching to know?
You could ruin any mood,
Just by saying what's on your mind.
You could only tame his body,
Never tame his mind.
And I can only take so much,
(From not so far away)
And I admit this could be love,
(But love can always wait)
But it goes over your head.
What does she have?
Can you let go?
Can you tell me,
What I am aching to know?
If I'm reaching in,
You're not letting it show.
Used up your space now,
And there's no room to grow.
Too deep, can't breath,
And you can't find the end.
It's right in front of you,
But it goes over your head.
What does she have?
Can you let go?
Can you tell me,
What I am aching to know?
You must not have a heart,
Have nothing in your chest.
Have nothing in your chest,
To let it go for so long,
And let this go so far,
That it goes over your head.
You could fool anyone,
With your pensive smile,
And you could live in your lie,
For only a while,
And I can only take so much,
(From not so far away)
And I admit this could be love,
(But love can always wait)
But it goes over your head.
What does she have?
Can you let go?
Can you tell me,
What I am aching to know?
You could ruin any mood,
Just by saying what's on your mind.
You could only tame his body,
Never tame his mind.
And I can only take so much,
(From not so far away)
And I admit this could be love,
(But love can always wait)
But it goes over your head.
What does she have?
Can you let go?
Can you tell me,
What I am aching to know?
If I'm reaching in,
You're not letting it show.
Used up your space now,
And there's no room to grow.
Too deep, can't breath,
And you can't find the end.
It's right in front of you,
But it goes over your head.
What does she have?
Can you let go?
Can you tell me,
What I am aching to know?
You must not have a heart,
Have nothing in your chest.

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
