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 wonder if this is about losing his love in a car accident . Skulls collide and the bright white light. Head on collision. Rubber crutch is crutches when you break your leg, and he survived the crutch, but it’s also symbolic of her being his crutch, as alluded by past comment.

What does it for me is the next part. She’s gone and he only has her memories, which he cherishes dearly. He believes and prays for the day they will be together again, no matter what divides them, heaven and earth.

Listened to this a lot 25 years ago when I my gf broke up with me and this was a song our group always liked, and loved this band. Then when my dad died this last Christmas I found the song again and gave it new meaning, as the memories and pictures were all I had.
This track is a restless blast of power-punk about wanting to begin again while still contending with what's in the past.

The line, "Daddy you've been a mother to me," is not a positive thing in my brain. Daddy has not been supportive. What I hear is a "Daddy you've been a motherf****r to me." Totally open to interpretation, of course. But, I think that's more interesting, and I think Tom might agree.

Haven't figured out a meaning for the line: "found her hiding high up in the family tree." Was Grandpa or Grandma trying to shelter her from the punishment? Or is it a literal tree that the family owns? Or just a really catchy line that Tom came up with? I'd vote for door number 3 right now, but it might be all of the above.
Am I the only one who thinks about “Game of Thrones” when I hear this song? 🤔🤷🏻♂️🤣

lyrics: [Verse 1] Can I suggest you: Get fucked While you lie about child-molesting gropes And parkbench flashers and pervert creeps And anal virginity and polaroid snaps And verbal abuse and bathroom rapes I don't know how well you can: Remember your own pointless glue-sniffing adolescence That fumbling floppy sex In between fags Those pathetic fistfights All those pathetic petty thefts And this and that and this and that and this and that And every other fucking Adidas-clichéd cringe

[Verse 2] Can I suggest you: Pose While you take another frantic glance at your shopwindow reflection Ensuring the stinking lie is maintained Because that's the difference between you Yes, that's the difference between you Yes, that's the difference between you You'll let a leering scumbag beerdrinking rat Raise your nostrils for a close-up smell Of fingertip nicotine and animal fat And force an open dead mouth Lap up ounces of semichem sweat So can you feel that: Would be a truly truly disgusting thing? You might also like We Didn’t Start The Fire Fall Out Boy Castles Crumbling (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault] Taylor Swift When Emma Falls in Love (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault] Taylor Swift [Chorus] And that's the difference between me I'll open the package I'll watch the show I'll enjoy perfectly well-made art I'll get in line behind stupidity I'll let you lie through your teeth I'll make you feel special I'll not pick out the mistakes in public I'll just put it down to passion And feigned memory lapse
[Verse 3] What did you want to be when you grow up? Certainly not raped That's the difference between you A drunk? A drug addict A motherly protector of the young? Another bed-staining cunt? A child molestor that needs to be told? Or just a craven lust-driven artist Channelling confusion and fear Into a sickly limp repetitive craft Yes, that's the difference between you You'll act late and surprised You say you loved sex? You'll love being hated for the act The filthier the abuse and the desperate underage details The fatter the payback So rather than just listen Be altered by what's been said [Chorus] Now that's the difference between me I'll show you emotional truth I'll show you the fucking source I'll show you yet another fucking liar And this is for the you I'll show you that something that makes you: Feel different Feel special I'll give you: Thoughts Images Sounds I'll give the you something Even more interesting than the last one And I'll tell you why it's the best one yet And then you can look back on it all And say: This is the best thing that ever happened to me And see: Why you never became a dancer
Amazing; speechless.
