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.
This girl was so fine, much more than two guns
I had to pump my brakes man she
Looked like no other kind, you can see in your mind
I had to take this one with me
Now, could you imagine like everything you want
Every piece of your fantasy was just like a dream come true
One thing for me to do I had to get this girl
Girl you know I see in your eye
I'm checking you, you're checkin' me
We both can see it's meant to be
Come chill with your man AV
Let's spend some time, sip on some wine
Baby relax let's take our time
We both can see it's meant to be
Come chill wit ya man AV
You know there's no limit to things that I wanna do
I'll make your every dream come true
Tickets first class for two, penthouse with ocean views
Now feel me while I set the mood
Dinner by the candle light girl, get cha mind right
And damn you are the sexy type, baby girl I got plans for you
Disregard all the rules tonight I'm getting into you
First I'm gonna work ya body from the top
Get around the middle baby I won't stop
Then I'll keep it movin' till I find the spot
Temperature is rising girl, it's so so hot
Girl you know I see in your eye
I'm checking you, you're checkin' me
We both can see it's meant to be
Come chill with your man AV
Let's spend some time, sip on some wine
Baby relax, let's take our time
We both can see it's meant to be
Come chill wit ya man AV
And now the back bone slippin' and the hands are girppin'
And the sheets is drippin' and the body's flippin', yes
This is a piece I can't give ya too much
It's an example of makin' good love
And the walls is shakin' and the bed is breakin'
And the lips is movin' and the hips is groovin', yes
And I got the protection for this type of affection
When you're pitting your best in there ain't no time for restrain
Girl you know I see in your eye
I'm checking you, you're checkin' me
We both can see it's meant to be
Come chill with your man AV
Let's spend some time, sip on some wine
Baby relax, let's take our time
We both can see it's meant to be
Come chill wit ya man AV
So lock all the doors
[Incomprehensible] the phone
I'm happy nobody's here, we're all alone
I'm gonna keep DJ
[Incomprehensible] goes to me
I've come in the way, you twist your body for me
So lock all the doors
[Incomprehensible] the phone
I'm happy nobody's here, we're all alone
I'm gonna keep DJ
[Incomprehensible] goes to me
I had to pump my brakes man she
Looked like no other kind, you can see in your mind
I had to take this one with me
Now, could you imagine like everything you want
Every piece of your fantasy was just like a dream come true
One thing for me to do I had to get this girl
Girl you know I see in your eye
I'm checking you, you're checkin' me
We both can see it's meant to be
Come chill with your man AV
Let's spend some time, sip on some wine
Baby relax let's take our time
We both can see it's meant to be
Come chill wit ya man AV
You know there's no limit to things that I wanna do

@[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.
