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?
I don't think it's a problem 'cause
Most of the girls ask for it
Uh huh, how did they ask for it?
The way they act, the way they
I, I can't say they way they dress because
That's their own personal choice
Some of these dumb hoes,
Those slut rocker bitches walking down the street,
They're asking for it, they may deny it but it's true.
Lay me spread eagle out on your hill, yeah
Then right a book bout how i wanted to die
It's hard to talk with your dick in my mouth
I will try to scream in pain a little nicer next time
White boy, don't laugh, don't cry, just die!
I'm so sorry if I'm alienating some of you
Your whole fucking culture alienates me
I can not scream from pain down here on my knees
I'm so sorry that I think!
White boy, don't laugh, don't cry, just die!

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
i dont think bikini kill (or any women for that matter) have the power to be sexist. if we lived in a society where women systematically raped and abused men, then they would be sexist, but until that happens, theyre just speaking the truth about male violence. and also, that is not an issue of a few men, but of a whole rape culture ("your whole fucking culture alienates me"). there are plenty of men out there who might not rape themselves, but will be perfectly complicit with their male friends who do rape, or complicit with the rapes that are committed by the US army (you may have read recently about the hundreds of women raped by soldiers in the phillipines, or the all the other allegations that have come out in the past few years about rape in iraq and afghanistan). of course, there are men who do resist against this violent culture. i'm a white boy myself. those of us who really are committed to stopping rape though really need to start proving it, and intervene when men we know are responsible for violence against women, whether these men are our friends, family, or the US army.
Thank you! It's so refreshing to find someone who understands the significance of the power differential involved in sexism and racism. <br /> <br /> The world needs more men who are willing to admit what's going on and start calling it out.
