Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Yeah, I traded laughs,
in for charstengrafs.
But all of that is only fun,
until evening comes.
Your guess is as good as mine,
as to just what kind.
Of trouble I might find,
tonight out of my mind.
My mind...
in for charstengrafs.
But all of that is only fun,
until evening comes.
Your guess is as good as mine,
as to just what kind.
Of trouble I might find,
tonight out of my mind.
My mind...

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

These four lines indicate to me that some business person has spent so much of his life studying and working towards a goal he really doesn’t enjoy life outside of working hours because he's lonely (or something). In lieu of the boredom, he loses his mind by night.. How I’m not really sure! But maybe the depressing lifestyle he lives drives him to do crazy things by night!
A similar spin is that the person has worked towards a career, sacrificing the simple enjoyable life for the serious life of the 9-5 but found once he's got there that he's lost the ability to go back to that simple enjoyment he had before. As a result his out of work hours are spent feeling bored, alienated and thoroughly disconnected from his old life and everyone still living it.
