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.
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She goes her own way
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's doing alright
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She goes her own way
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's doing alright
You're doing it your own way
Walking with your own sway
Smiling into a cloudy day
And I want you to know
How you helped me to grow
I just wanted to say
Marieke, marieke, marieke
You're okay
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She buys sex toys
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's a bit of alright
Hands in the air for supergirl .
She like the Beastie Boys
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's a bit of alright
You're doing it your own way
Walking with your own sway
Smiling into a cloudy day
And I want you to know
How you helped me to grow
I just wanted to say
Marieke, marieke, marieke
You're okay
She's fiercely independent and she doesn't need cosmopolitan
To tell her where she fits in
Throw her off the deep end and she'll only swim again
She's never reach her wits' end
She's a true believer it's not Jessica
But Lisa when it comes to choosing Simpson's
Smart as Sgt. Pepper
Gets by with a little help, gets by with a little help from her friends
Ay, Marieke Marieke Marieke
You're okay
She goes her own way
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's doing alright
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She goes her own way
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's doing alright
You're doing it your own way
Walking with your own sway
Smiling into a cloudy day
And I want you to know
How you helped me to grow
I just wanted to say
Marieke, marieke, marieke
You're okay
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She buys sex toys
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's a bit of alright
Hands in the air for supergirl .
She like the Beastie Boys
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's a bit of alright
You're doing it your own way
Walking with your own sway
Smiling into a cloudy day
And I want you to know
How you helped me to grow
I just wanted to say
Marieke, marieke, marieke
You're okay
She's fiercely independent and she doesn't need cosmopolitan
To tell her where she fits in
Throw her off the deep end and she'll only swim again
She's never reach her wits' end
She's a true believer it's not Jessica
But Lisa when it comes to choosing Simpson's
Smart as Sgt. Pepper
Gets by with a little help, gets by with a little help from her friends
Ay, Marieke Marieke Marieke
You're okay

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

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.
