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.
Ring around the rosey Pocket full of noseys
dro 4 when im dozy
dro 4 when im dozy
Ring around the rosey still trying 2 find me
still trying 2 find me
still trying 2 find me
On drugs homesick
the most uncomfortable sleep
brings me the best dreams
I’ll be honest with u cos i think im going to die
You look into my eyes
u tell me lies
Drown u in my cup
babys out of luck
Fuck wheres my crew when im all alone?
i gotta make these moves
these beasts b chasing after me
So i so i
so i
i i
i live in these trap beats
cry in the streets
die in the beats
live for these beats
die for the beats
Ive got these beasts
b chasing after me
So i So i

cry in the streets

On drugs homesick

brings me the best dreams
Ill b honest with u cos i think im going to die
You look into my eyes u tell me lies
fuck a lesson
comfort pain
I see death lurking at every turn
ive seen the anger that it brings
i see these strings
between u and me
Severing

Holiday

@[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.
