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.
Seems like the moon is full
And yet its only noon
A sweet familiar taste
Consumes me back to you
Back to you
I'm being taunted
Constantly tested
Skin and flesh are power invested
(It's all about sex)
Prehistoric intellectuals
(It's all about sex)
Cover up and hide the animal
Loss of control and I feel it
Starting to sweat, I will I won't
Every inch of my skin giving orders
Attack, I will, I will
I want my sex in a jar
I'll take it wherever I go
I want my sex in a jar
I need it wherever I go
God has created man
Beyond her wildest dreams
A bad machine will not admit
That he's a bad machine
A life's obsession in evil attire
I oughta touch you and burn in the fire
(It's all about sex)
Prehistoric Intellectuals
(It's all about sex)
Covered and hide the animal
Everybody got the animal
Everybody got the animal
I want it, I need it
Saturday night is everyday
All day, All day
And yet its only noon
A sweet familiar taste
Consumes me back to you
Back to you
I'm being taunted
Constantly tested
Skin and flesh are power invested
(It's all about sex)
Prehistoric intellectuals
(It's all about sex)
Cover up and hide the animal
Loss of control and I feel it
Starting to sweat, I will I won't
Every inch of my skin giving orders
Attack, I will, I will
I want my sex in a jar
I'll take it wherever I go
I want my sex in a jar
I need it wherever I go
God has created man
Beyond her wildest dreams
A bad machine will not admit
That he's a bad machine
A life's obsession in evil attire
I oughta touch you and burn in the fire
(It's all about sex)
Prehistoric Intellectuals
(It's all about sex)
Covered and hide the animal
Everybody got the animal
Everybody got the animal
I want it, I need it
Saturday night is everyday
All day, All day

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
