This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Your eyes stare
Am I humble as I go
I'm holding in tight
To something long as I go
Am I humble as I go
I found a way
To look towards this day
But it all hooked up
This could only go one way
I'm not alive, I'm not alive without you
I'm not alive, I'm not alive without you
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Come around, let's go found
There's no words to call
Tonight, you really see nothing of this girl
They work, they don't know the roots behind
'Cause I got a knife to cut out the memories
So carefully, too carefully, it's not necessarily
To be so dark
Got to give in, got to give in
Learn to align, last time older
Got to give in, got to give in
Learn to the five
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, why did you not die, why don't you dance
Why don't you dance and dance
Am I humble as I go
I'm holding in tight
To something long as I go
Am I humble as I go
I found a way
To look towards this day
But it all hooked up
This could only go one way
I'm not alive, I'm not alive without you
I'm not alive, I'm not alive without you
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Come around, let's go found
There's no words to call
Tonight, you really see nothing of this girl
They work, they don't know the roots behind
'Cause I got a knife to cut out the memories
So carefully, too carefully, it's not necessarily
To be so dark
Got to give in, got to give in
Learn to align, last time older
Got to give in, got to give in
Learn to the five
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, why did you not die, why don't you dance
Why don't you dance and dance

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
This song is about the ups and downs of love, but in a very optimistic fashion. It's about the give and take, the compromises, the valleys, the highs.
The reason I think it's overall very optimistic is because of the last line "Love is to die, why did you not die", as if to say, "yes, that hurt, but we're okay, we didn't die and we love each other so...let's just dance."
The one line that bugs me that I have no clue about is "learn to the five"
@CovinS It's "Alert to the night," and then "Got to give in to the fight"
"Learn to the five" is a direct relation to the five human senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Our eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin. I guess you guys can relate that to the overall song meaning yourselves.
These lyrics are so horribly wrong, it's ridiculous. Many lyric sites have the wrong ones, but here is a site that has the correct lyrics including " Got to give in, Got to give in, Alert to the night, The last time I alter my mind, I give in Got to give in To the fight" Hope that clear up the song a bit for all you people trying to figure out the "five" part which she doesn't sing. genius.com/Warpaint-love-is-to-die-lyrics
@esteevius Oh, and I submitted these lyrics to the site. Hopefully they get approved soon.
The link I posted earlier copied wrong, here is the correct one.. genius.com/Warpaint-love-is-to-die-lyrics and here are the correct lyrics:
All on my own Here I stand Am I humble am I ghost I'm on a limb to climb To something lawless I hope Am I humble am I ghost I'll find a way To look towards this day Got it all hooked up This could only go one way Oh oh oh oh oh I'm not alive I'm not alive enough
Love is to die Love is to not die Love is to dance Love is to dance and dance
All on my own It's confirmed There's no world to compromise You really see nothing of this girl They look, they don't know The roots behind Cuz I've got a knife To cut out the memories So carefully To carefully It's not necessary To be so dark
Got to give in Got to give in Alert to the night The last time I alter my mind I give in Got to give in To the fight
Love is to die Love is to not die Love is to dance Love is to dance and dance
Love is to die Love is to not die Love is to dance Love is to dance and dance
Love is to die Why don't you not die? Why don't you dance? Why don't you dance and dance?
@esteevius This website (songmeanings) adds an extra "http//" to the links.. I don't know why.. if you delete the second http//, the link works.
It's a total longshot, but the "learn to the five" could be a reference to the enneagram type five, which fits with Warpaint in some ways.

It should be noted that the lyrics at the end should be "Love is to die, why don't you not die, why don't you dance", as opposed to "why did you not die"
