YOU ASK ME, do I still love you?
I stumble on what to say.
YOU POUR ON THE WATERWORKS
So I'll remember this day.

I think of all the hatred
I stuffed down inside.
Holding a planet in an egg.
I kept letting it ride.

I tell you I can't answer that.
You constantly insult my intelligence.
Leading to this very moment
to all end up in silence.

Chorus
I don't have anything to say to you.
I don't have anything to say to you.
It couldn't be more awkward.
I dont' have anything to say to you.

YOU YOU YOU
That's all you ever talk about.
I KNOW I shouldn't feel this way.
I tried to block it out.

TOOK MEALS FROM OUR MOUTHS, and
IDOLIZED your petty things.
Children out of wedlock.
Such pain immaturity brings.

Starving for food, starving for truth.
Smite your existence.
But destiny led up to this moment
all in silence.

Chorus
I don't have anything to say to you.
I don't have anything to say to you.
It couldn't be more awkward.
I don't have anything to say to you.
Many years gained nothing from violence
and yelling just to be knee deep in silence.

    I like....very deep and personal. I was thinking of putting some of my stuff up, but I;m afraid it doesn't make the cut, if this is the cut. Very nice work!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
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.
