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.
Inexorable conversion
Accelerated change
Prosthesis made of light
For new modular religion
Newly minted nightmares
In luminous code
Machina ex machina
Infocalypse now
The categories crack and strain
The borders bleed and break
The mind ignites and burns
Shape-shifting
The time of quickening
Undivine invasions
The stony blood
The liquid architecture
Pornography of the mind
Implantation of the soul
Anomaly breeding
All lifeworlds gush
Furious glossolalia
Unholy heterosia
Festive impurity
Orgy of mutation
Fluidity of the "I"
Demonic simulacrum
The categories crack and strain
The borders bleed and break
Treason of the Godhead
Nan shall defy
