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 am so much more,
Than this dirty whore you see in me.
You are just the same,
But you never blame yourself for anything.
Darling, I told you once before that im a sinner (sinner).
Darling I told you once before that im a liar, cheater, not a friend.
All those who live to love.
Oooooooh....
I am so much more,
Than this dirty whore you see in me.
You are just the same,
But you never blame yourself for anything.
You are just the same.
You are just the same.
Than this dirty whore you see in me.
You are just the same,
But you never blame yourself for anything.
Darling, I told you once before that im a sinner (sinner).
Darling I told you once before that im a liar, cheater, not a friend.
All those who live to love.
Oooooooh....
I am so much more,
Than this dirty whore you see in me.
You are just the same,
But you never blame yourself for anything.
You are just the same.
You are just the same.

@[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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

The song is on youtube.
There's already a copy of this on Josh's page on this site... I don't think it should be here. Unless someone can prove that all of Paramore is in these songs too.
I think that this is a solo thing for Josh (this and the other two songs), and shouldn't be here.
Peace.
This song is beautiful / haunting. It actually brought tears to my eyes.
This is totally Josh's side Misery Business.
wow this is just such an incredible song. i didn't think josh had it in him! its so great my favorite song at the moment. i can relate.
"This is totally Josh's side Misery Business."
I absolutely agree. That's exactly what this is.
actualy misary buisness (even though it doent sound that way) is about a friend getting minipulated (sp?) so i dont think its about misary buisness.
im guessing this song is about how "sinners" can love too? im not sure
and anyway misary buisness is sang to a girl not a boy so that wouldnt make sence
no, cause the story behind miz biz is something along these lines..
hayley wrote it about a girl who minipulated one of her close friends and changed him into this really closed off person. the guy was with the manipulative girl, and couldnt see what she was doing to him, all the while hayley and all their close friends were trying to stop this girl and make the guy see what a bitch she was. hayley eventually made him realise what this girl was doing to him and they hooked up in the end. i cant be botherd to explain much more, but the guy is 'probably' josh (im not argueing about it, it just is, ok), and so this song is like his side of what happened.
he might be talking as if hes this girl, like defending her. cos all his friends could see what she was doing to him, and would be attacking her (not litteraly, lol), but he wanted to back her up saying shes 'so much more than this dirty whore...' etc. i cant see how it could be anything else. maybe him defending himself? cos he would feel his friends are being horrible to him? idk idk.
