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.
There is a place in the night
Where I know
It will always be right
Somewhere that I
Can just be
Really be
But the world doesn't see
All of the words that I'm writing
All of the songs brought to life
You better find what I'm hiding
So go ahead and try
Before it passes by
Break right through
Right through the heart of me
It could be so easy
It could be just what I need
If you just understand
All that I want
And who I am
Maybe the world might see
All of this love in me
I've got to try to make the notes
Loud and clear
So you'll hear
That the melody's strong
You've got to feel it in your bones
High and low
This is where we belong
Cause in the night
Nothing matters
So close your eyes
And sing along
It's not your everyday music
I hope it takes you far
Inside of who you are
So break right through
Break right through
Right through the heart of me
It could be so easy
It could be just what I need
If you just understand
All that I want
And who I am
Maybe the world might be
Part of this love in me
I'm so tired of hearing
All these love songs
Meant for someone else to sing
And play
I'd like to know what happens
To the ones who can't create
Something new
Something true
Something great
You'd ought to know
These melody's are my own
Writing songs
That's one thing I can do
And when I get in my room
I let go
And there's no one around
Break right through
Right through the heart of me
It could be so easy
It could be just what I need
If you just understand
All that I want
And who I am
Maybe the world might see
All of this love in me
Right through the heart of me
Right through the heart of me
Just wait and see
Where I know
It will always be right
Somewhere that I
Can just be
Really be
But the world doesn't see
All of the words that I'm writing
All of the songs brought to life
You better find what I'm hiding
So go ahead and try
Before it passes by
Break right through
Right through the heart of me
It could be so easy
It could be just what I need
If you just understand
All that I want
And who I am
Maybe the world might see
All of this love in me
I've got to try to make the notes
Loud and clear
So you'll hear
That the melody's strong
You've got to feel it in your bones
High and low
This is where we belong
Cause in the night
Nothing matters
So close your eyes
And sing along
It's not your everyday music
I hope it takes you far
Inside of who you are
So break right through
Break right through
Right through the heart of me
It could be so easy
It could be just what I need
If you just understand
All that I want
And who I am
Maybe the world might be
Part of this love in me
I'm so tired of hearing

Right through the heart of me
Right through the heart of me
Just wait and see

@[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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I really love Alexa Ray's voice. I'm sad to find so few of her songs on here and so few comments.
I hope it's because they are pretty self explanatory. This one is about her reflecting on her desire to show the world who she is, to be seen for all that is inside her. I think we all feel like the world only sees pieces of us, and often what they think they see isn't truly there. We all just want to be understood, I think.
