Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
(we're all gonna die)
this ship is gonna sink
without it's captain
(so take your shit and leave)
so take your 21st century telegraphs
(so take your shit and leave)
and take your keystroked morse code
whoa whoa jay kay kay kay
if you write to binary long enough
your liable to lose your penmanship
i cant write a god damned thing
and i can feel even less
a nice
(there's an upside to)
subtle
(corporal tunnel)
fuck you
(duster hits and)
fuck you
and fucking your secretary
it's better to give than recieve,
better to steal.
this ship is gonna sink
without it's captain
(so take your shit and leave)
so take your 21st century telegraphs
(so take your shit and leave)
and take your keystroked morse code
whoa whoa jay kay kay kay
if you write to binary long enough

it's better to give than recieve,
better to steal.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

@[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.
This song is aimed at someone in authority...you have to wonder if it's the country's president. I think so.
