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.
I once knew a guy, and his name was Jim
He used to like me, but I didn't like him
He told me he'd really like to go in bed
He told me he'd like to give me viscious head
He's a gay boy, boy toy, jerk off, a **** up
His boyfriend says, "Come live with me."
His boyfriend says, "Come and amke the scene."
His mom and dad are awful proud
It's perfectly acceptable to be a gay boy,
boy toy, jerk off, **** up
(Chorus)
He used to like me, but I didn't like him
He told me he'd really like to go in bed
He told me he'd like to give me viscious head
He's a gay boy, boy toy, jerk off, a **** up
His boyfriend says, "Come live with me."
His boyfriend says, "Come and amke the scene."
His mom and dad are awful proud
It's perfectly acceptable to be a gay boy,
boy toy, jerk off, **** up
(Chorus)

@[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.
I have two gay friends who are perfect for each other. I think they need to put an end to the false lives they are living. They need to come out of the closet and live life as an openly gay couple. Seriously, it would be so much fun for them. THINK of what they are missing out on. It is really heartbreaking. And I am being incredibly sincere.
One of the guys I adored way back when and when he told me he was gay it was difficult, but I realize I dodged a bullet. No sadness there anymore. (But, of course I miss him as a friend. And have to say hi now and then.) Things happen for a reason and I have so much peace knowing that he is gay. I understand him so much better now. I just think it is truly tragic that he feels that he can't live his life honestly and openly. But, I guess his kids might be upset to have a gay dad and a single mom. So he feels trapped in his situation. I wish him the best. I hope things change for him. I, for one, support him 100% in "coming out".
I firmly believe that he and his gay partner would live happily ever after. They need to be the "last relationship" in each others lives.
