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.
Well, when I met you at the station
You were standing with a bootleg in your hand
I took you back to my little place
For a taste of a multicolored band
We're gonna get hi hi hi
The night is young
She'll be my funky little mama
Gonna rock it and we've only just begun
We're gonna get hi hi hi
With the music on
Won't say bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
'Til the night is gone
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it
Sweet banana, you'll never give up
We're gettin' hi hi hi in the midday sun
Well well, take off your face
Recover from the trip you've been on
I want you to lie on the bed
Get you ready for my polygon
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it
Sweet banana, you've never been done
Yes, I go like a rabbit, gonna grab it
Gonna do it 'til the night is done
We're gonna get hi hi hi
With the music on
Won't say bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
'Til the night is gone
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it
Sweet banana, you'll never give up
We're gonna get hi hi hi, we're going to get hi hi hi
We're going to get hi hi hi in the midday sun, ooh baby
Hi hi hi
Hi hi hi
Hi hi hi in the midday sun
You were standing with a bootleg in your hand
I took you back to my little place
For a taste of a multicolored band
We're gonna get hi hi hi
The night is young
She'll be my funky little mama
Gonna rock it and we've only just begun
We're gonna get hi hi hi
With the music on
Won't say bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
'Til the night is gone
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it
Sweet banana, you'll never give up
We're gettin' hi hi hi in the midday sun
Well well, take off your face
Recover from the trip you've been on
I want you to lie on the bed
Get you ready for my polygon
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it
Sweet banana, you've never been done
Yes, I go like a rabbit, gonna grab it
Gonna do it 'til the night is done
We're gonna get hi hi hi
With the music on
Won't say bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
'Til the night is gone
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it
Sweet banana, you'll never give up
We're gonna get hi hi hi, we're going to get hi hi hi
We're going to get hi hi hi in the midday sun, ooh baby
Hi hi hi
Hi hi hi
Hi hi hi in the midday sun

@[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.
Rock and fuckin roll! This songs alright, but I mean you got to respect it because how many , that's right how many songs mention a banana! Yeah a banana. Maybe there's some sure would be a cool playlist.
