Talk To The Body

Magazine

You have put me in the pictures
In the pictures in which
My head is swimming

You were made for life
You're lost to the world
Very transparent, very selfish
Beautiful, powerful careless women, watch it

And my body screams, "Yes"
And my mind just keeps its peace
I clam up, I calm down

My body screams, "Yes"
And my mind just keeps its peace
I clam up, calm down

We embrace during the journey
Such a short ride in a borrowed car
The time is ripe for getting things right
At a very reminiscent temperature, watch it

And my body screams, "Yes"
And my mind just keeps its peace
I clam up, calm down

And my body screams, "Yes"
And my mind just keeps its peace
I clam up, calm down

Clam up, calm down
Clam up, calm down
Clam up, calm down
Clam up, calm down

Clam up, calm down
Clam up, calm down
Clam up, calm down
Clam up, calm down

Clam up

    This has a riff that echos "Speed of Life" by David Bowie. Still original, but hinted. It also sounds like it was produced by Brian Eno.

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.

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.

@[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.
