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 am you, you are me
We are the same, we are the same
My heart is yours, your heart is mine
They're the same, they're the same
We don't have to say a word
Without words, we understand
Je suis toi, tu est moi
Nous sommes la meme
Nous sommes la meme
I'll take your hand, you'll take mine
We are the same, we are the same
We don't have to say a word
Without words, we understand
Yo soy te
Est me
Somo sel miso
Somo sel miso
I am you, you are me
Somo sel mismo
We don't have to say a word
Without words, we understand
'Cause there is a life that never dies
As long as there's love between you and I
All that is precious in life
All that is beautiful in life
All that fills our thoughts
All that moves our hearts
All is comprised in one word
And that word is life
In our quest for love
We are the same
We don't have to say a word
Without words, we understand
Ich bin wie do
Do bist wie ich
Wir sind gleich
Wir sind gleich
We are the same
We are the same, we are the same
My heart is yours, your heart is mine
They're the same, they're the same
We don't have to say a word
Without words, we understand
Je suis toi, tu est moi
Nous sommes la meme
Nous sommes la meme
I'll take your hand, you'll take mine
We are the same, we are the same
We don't have to say a word
Without words, we understand
Yo soy te
Est me
Somo sel miso
Somo sel miso
I am you, you are me
Somo sel mismo
We don't have to say a word
Without words, we understand
'Cause there is a life that never dies
As long as there's love between you and I
All that is precious in life
All that is beautiful in life
All that fills our thoughts
All that moves our hearts
All is comprised in one word
And that word is life
In our quest for love
We are the same
We don't have to say a word
Without words, we understand
Ich bin wie do
Do bist wie ich
Wir sind gleich
Wir sind gleich
We are the same

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
