@[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.
Conjure up what you may find
Cause it's soon; I can see you behind me
Counting all your 12-step tries
And if the consequence could speak out loud
I could only pick up vibrations
So get in line
And fortify
See, it's just time to go out
And scream from the top of the moon
One more time
Pulling out the sting of control
Washing your hands from the methadone
Like a time bomb on reset
You see, the execution by x-mas lights
Seems to have its own irony
So get in line
And fortify
Take all of your tiny wishes
And dump them all overboard
With me tonight
So drop that cherry bomb
And leave the hem out of lies
There's a new rush that is waiting to meet you tonight
But I may choose to leave at once
When there's no one begging me to come around
Begging me to come around
Sha na na na na na na na na na
Cause it's soon; I can see you behind me
Counting all your 12-step tries
And if the consequence could speak out loud
I could only pick up vibrations
So get in line
And fortify
See, it's just time to go out
And scream from the top of the moon
One more time
Pulling out the sting of control
Washing your hands from the methadone
Like a time bomb on reset
You see, the execution by x-mas lights
Seems to have its own irony
So get in line
And fortify
Take all of your tiny wishes
And dump them all overboard
With me tonight
So drop that cherry bomb
And leave the hem out of lies
There's a new rush that is waiting to meet you tonight
But I may choose to leave at once
When there's no one begging me to come around
Begging me to come around
Sha na na na na na na na na na

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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
i'm not positively sure about a couple of these lines, especially "leave the hem out of lies". brandin's voice is beautiful, but so hard to understand sometimes!
For some reason this song's lyrics comes off as a bit suicidal, but whether or not that's what it's about, I'm not sure. But this is really a beautiful song, their best in my opinion, although the only time I've seen them play it was on BOTR. This is the song that made me a fan dammit!
this song is great...i think maybe he says "scream from the to of the roof" though? not sure...doesnt matter much either way. it might be "leave the hem out of line" flickerchick27, cause he's kinda saying, 'drop everything your supposed to do'. leaving a hem out of line is a bad thing to do.
this song, i dont think is about suicide as much as it is about leaving things behind. leaving A LOT behind it seems. its very emotional. it seems like he is finally just throwing things down and leaving, screaming from the top of his lungs, driving at about 130 down the highway.
after listening to the live cd numerous times, i've decided that lyric is "leave the hand that lies"
I agree. That's what it sounds like in the live version.
I think this song is about getting off of drugs. "12-step tries" as in a 12 step drug program. "Pulling out the sting of control." Pulling out the needle. "Washing your hands from the methadone." Methadone is part of treatment to help with withdrawals. "There's a new rush that is waiting to meet you tonight." Something to replace the rush you get from the drugs. It could be another person. Someone that you couldn't be with when you were on drugs because it would hurt them to put them through it.
