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.
Kesa ka ni sasareta
And the source was your laughter
Threw me off the wall
Used your face as a mascot
And the medicine came after
Left in a sprawl
Many miles from Cessna
Kesa ka ni sasareta
One of many in the mess hall
Family there and all
Making money on the desktop
Was at war with fast cars
Many chemicals in the eyes of The Master
Burst!
(master in every way)
Kesa ka ni sasareta
For the love of the soft game
Made of models set in plaster
When in doubt of the last year
Gather all your fear and
Dip your hand in the blender
Burst!
In your wallet was your gender
Stolen when in Rome
In the shadow of your blender
Was a secret of the bedroom
Blemish in the chrome
In the eye of the bender
(chiku)
Kesa ka ni sasareta
It All Began With Burst now
Every several months
And the chemicals came after
It was a race to be faster
Quicker than the worst
In the style of The Master
And the source was your laughter
Threw me off the wall
Used your face as a mascot
And the medicine came after
Left in a sprawl
Many miles from Cessna
Kesa ka ni sasareta
One of many in the mess hall
Family there and all
Making money on the desktop
Was at war with fast cars
Many chemicals in the eyes of The Master
Burst!
(master in every way)
Kesa ka ni sasareta
For the love of the soft game
Made of models set in plaster
When in doubt of the last year
Gather all your fear and
Dip your hand in the blender
Burst!
In your wallet was your gender
Stolen when in Rome
In the shadow of your blender
Was a secret of the bedroom
Blemish in the chrome
In the eye of the bender
(chiku)
Kesa ka ni sasareta
It All Began With Burst now
Every several months
And the chemicals came after
It was a race to be faster
Quicker than the worst
In the style of The Master
