The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
There's a cabin in a valley my grandpa built on your land
Your mountains are a canvas for the Maker's hand
Tonight I'm fishing up a river if only in my mind
No, I haven't seen her banks in such a long, long time
I carry you in my heart
Your memory comes over me like the dark and
Like a phone call from my baby
Sayin' honey I miss you like crazy
Like a sound of a siren song
Oh Carolina you callin' me home, callin' me home
Sometimes I grow weary from goin' all the time
I love to take a minute let you ease my mind
I'd love to see my mama, maybe go for a drive
But I gotta play the star in some little town again tonight
Don't get me wrong I love what I do
It's just another song about missing you
Like a phone call from my baby
Sayin' honey I miss you like crazy
Kind of like a siren song
Oh Carolina you keep callin' me home, callin' me home
Callin' me home, callin' me home, yeah
Oh, oh, I'm almost home
Like a phone call from my baby
Sayin' honey I miss you, I miss you like crazy
Just like a sound of a siren song
Oh, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina keep callin me home, callin' me home
Callin' me home, callin' me home
Carolina, Carolina keep callin' me home
Your mountains are a canvas for the Maker's hand
Tonight I'm fishing up a river if only in my mind
No, I haven't seen her banks in such a long, long time
I carry you in my heart
Your memory comes over me like the dark and
Like a phone call from my baby
Sayin' honey I miss you like crazy
Like a sound of a siren song
Oh Carolina you callin' me home, callin' me home
Sometimes I grow weary from goin' all the time
I love to take a minute let you ease my mind
I'd love to see my mama, maybe go for a drive
But I gotta play the star in some little town again tonight
Don't get me wrong I love what I do
It's just another song about missing you
Like a phone call from my baby
Sayin' honey I miss you like crazy
Kind of like a siren song
Oh Carolina you keep callin' me home, callin' me home
Callin' me home, callin' me home, yeah
Oh, oh, I'm almost home
Like a phone call from my baby
Sayin' honey I miss you, I miss you like crazy
Just like a sound of a siren song
Oh, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina keep callin me home, callin' me home
Callin' me home, callin' me home
Carolina, Carolina keep callin' me home

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.
this song is great. it's obviously about his home state of north carolina. i love how proud he is to be from there and his love for the place.
