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.
Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face
The face I heard before
Your head trip's boring me
Let's nuke the bridge we torched two thousand times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my gut now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
Stuck down in a rut
Of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
When it's all said and done
It's real and it's been fun
But was it all real fun?
Let's nuke the bridge we torched two thousand times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
To say
You're just
A fuck
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck
I'm taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die
I've had this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
I'm taking pleasure in announcing this to you
So listen up 'cause you might miss
You're just
A fuck
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck
I'm taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die
Good night
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face
The face I heard before
Your head trip's boring me
Let's nuke the bridge we torched two thousand times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my gut now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
Stuck down in a rut
Of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
When it's all said and done
It's real and it's been fun
But was it all real fun?
Let's nuke the bridge we torched two thousand times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
To say
You're just
A fuck
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck
I'm taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die
I've had this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
I'm taking pleasure in announcing this to you
So listen up 'cause you might miss
You're just
A fuck
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck
I'm taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die
Good night

@[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.
