its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
This year is old like a dying father
Whose will is out of spite
We pile into seperate agendas
With the songs of defeat
Playing in out minds
For you I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For your abandoned heart to see them
To bloom into your world
Blinded to your perfect lands
To live like somber cattle
And we're gathered as seeds
To sprout mid Sahara
For who? For what?
For who? For what?
For who? For what?
For you I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For your abandoned heart to see them
To bloom into your world
For you I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For your abandoned heart to see them
To bloom into your world
Whose will is out of spite
We pile into seperate agendas
With the songs of defeat
Playing in out minds
For you I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For your abandoned heart to see them
To bloom into your world
Blinded to your perfect lands
To live like somber cattle
And we're gathered as seeds
To sprout mid Sahara
For who? For what?
For who? For what?
For who? For what?
For you I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For your abandoned heart to see them
To bloom into your world
For you I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For your abandoned heart to see them
To bloom into your world

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?

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.
