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.
Automatic, automatic, panoramic coupe
That's my girl, she like to ride panoramic too
We gazin' at the stars through this panoramic roof
We gazin' at the stars through this panoramic roof
Roll my weed, then
Pour my lean
Would you believe I'm blowin' up?
Gettin' 50 Gs a feature, my show price is going up
Hard to deal with this depression lately I've been throwin' up
The hoes they used to hate me, love me now
My phone been off the meter
My phone been off the meter
I don't want to talk to nobody
And don't want nobody around me
Fantasizing about me
They can wait down in the lobby
Privacy, please leave my privacy
I don't want to talk to nobody
Oh, whoever thought you would lie to me
Supposed to be right here on the side of me
Countin' me out and you doubted me
Street nigga, I hit the lottery
We was supposed to be married
Pack all our bags, run away to the altar
Anyone play with my love put a dent in they shit like the strait of Gibraltar
God love his children, he's awesome
He sent me an angel who's flawless
Got shot in my mouth in '05
Knocked out my teeth, it was awful
Was rendered unconscious, I called you
4:30 AM, you recall it?
Now that's just a thing of the past
We in the Lennox and turned up retarded
Roll my weed
Pour my lean
Would you believe I'm blowin' up?
Gettin' 50 Gs a feature, my show price is going up
Hard to deal with this depression lately I've been throwin' up
The hoes they used to hate me, love me now
My phone been off the meter
My phone been off the meter
I don't want to talk to nobody
And don't want nobody around me
Fantasizing about me
They can wait down in the lobby
Privacy, please leave my privacy
I don't want to talk to nobody
Oh, no one alive could do your body like I do
Got a plug from out of town and we've been making major moves
I know Vyron Cater, the real Vyron Carter
Actin' like you don't believe me
Pull out my phone, I could call her
Breadwinner, never change
We the strongest label in the game
Cocaine paint on the Range
And it's money over everything
A couple niggas switched on me lord
But I'ma still stay the same
Rolling round, I'ma row it down, boulevard mail in the paint
Roll my weed
Pour my lean
Would you believe I'm blowin' up?
Gettin' 50 Gs a feature, my show price is going up
Hard to deal with this depression lately I've been throwin' up
The hoes they used to hate me, love me now
My phone been off the meter
My phone been off the meter
I don't want to talk to nobody
And don't want nobody around me
Fantasizing about me
They can wait down in the lobby
Privacy, please leave my privacy
I don't want to talk to nobody

@[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.

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.
