The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Go to now
After picking the glass off the ground
Go to now
After shaking the thing for a sound
Do we see what the clock makes you do
But I won't let this happen to you
In a town
Where I lost every shirt on the fence
Go to now
I am bleeding a trail through the lens
When I see what I now know is you
I was caught in the eye as you came
Pulled by my name
I'm fallin' through
Traveling at godspeed
Over the hills and trails
I have refused my call
Pushin' my lazy sails
Into the blue flame
I want to crash here right now
The hourglass spills its sand
If only to punish you
For listenin' too long
To one song
Listenin' too long
To one song
Sing me Spanish techno
Listenin' too long
To one song
Listenin' too long
To one song
Sing me Spanish techno
Go to now
After wiring the thing to explode
Wired for sound
Wide awake here for days in a row
Now we see what the engine can do
And I won't let this happen to you
I won't let this happen to you
Traveling at godspeed
Over the hills and trails
I have refused my call
Pushin' my lazy sails
Into the blue flame
I want to crash here right now
The hourglass spills its sand
If only to punish you
For listenin' too long
To one song
Listenin' too long
To one song
Sing me Spanish techno
Listenin' too long
To one song
Listenin' too long
To one song
Sing me Spanish techno
After picking the glass off the ground
Go to now
After shaking the thing for a sound
Do we see what the clock makes you do
But I won't let this happen to you
In a town
Where I lost every shirt on the fence
Go to now
I am bleeding a trail through the lens
When I see what I now know is you
I was caught in the eye as you came
Pulled by my name
I'm fallin' through
Traveling at godspeed
Over the hills and trails
I have refused my call
Pushin' my lazy sails
Into the blue flame
I want to crash here right now
The hourglass spills its sand
If only to punish you
For listenin' too long

Listenin' too long

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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”

@[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.
"travling at god speed" through "if only to punish you-" absolutely amazing moments of my life.
