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've been here for so long answering prayers
God and faith have since gone, they've disappeared
Man ate man before he amen against our will
And he who suffers will suffer this guild
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
Ignore them orders, ignore them orders
Cause God made hate, God made hate
God made hate, God made hate
All hail die the maker, make him walk in death
In the house of abortion, bleed intensive care
And the past has been forgotten, the end is near
I've been here for so long gambling prayers
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
Ignore them orders, ignore them orders
Come bleed our fathers, God bless our mothers
Cause God made hate, God made hate
God made hate, then God made you
He'll televise my suicide for the rest of you
Decide for the rest of you
That heaven is His waiting room
Heaven is a waiting room
Ignore them orders, ignore them orders
Come bleed our fathers, God bless our mothers
Cause God made hate, God made hate
Then God made you
God made hate
God made hate then God killed you
Killed you, killed you
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Come on, get on your knees
And pray
God and faith have since gone, they've disappeared
Man ate man before he amen against our will
And he who suffers will suffer this guild
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
Ignore them orders, ignore them orders
Cause God made hate, God made hate
God made hate, God made hate
All hail die the maker, make him walk in death
In the house of abortion, bleed intensive care
And the past has been forgotten, the end is near
I've been here for so long gambling prayers
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
Ignore them orders, ignore them orders
Come bleed our fathers, God bless our mothers
Cause God made hate, God made hate
God made hate, then God made you
He'll televise my suicide for the rest of you
Decide for the rest of you
That heaven is His waiting room
Heaven is a waiting room
Ignore them orders, ignore them orders
Come bleed our fathers, God bless our mothers
Cause God made hate, God made hate
Then God made you
God made hate
God made hate then God killed you
Killed you, killed you
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Come on, get on your knees
And pray

@[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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
