Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken

Camera Obscura

He said I'll protect you like you are the crown jewels yet
Said he's feeling sorry for me, the more I behave badly I can bet

Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment

Jealousy is more than a word now, I understand
You can't stay a girl while holding a boy's hand

Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment, at this moment

I've got my life of complication here to sort out
I'll take myself to an east coast city and walk about

Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment, at this moment

    haha, because of her accent, I thought she was saying "you can't stare at girls while holding a boy's hand", a lyric which I prefer to the actual by just a MASSIVE AMOUNT.

    that was the only thing that kept me listening to this song :(

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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 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.
