Whispering you stare
Wanting you don't care
Kiss me make me cry
How did I wind up here
Wishing you were dead
Why are you in my bed
Ignore what's jeopardized
It's only me denied
Ohh I'm dizzy hazy
Ohh can someone save me
Ohh hypnotize me
Anesthetize the pain
You speak my name I hear nothing
You share your dreams I see nothing
Unconscious suicide aren't you gone yet
You make me remember things I want to forget
Walk in the park fresh air
I shoot my drink you're still here
Inside a child asks why
Who used to bring me here
Ohh I'm dizzy hazy
Ohh can someone save me
Ohh hypnotize me
Anesthetize the pain
You speak my name I hear nothing
You share your dreams I see nothing
Unconscious suicide aren't you gone yet
You make me remember
You touch my face I feel nothing
You taste my lips I give nothing
This starving soul must be fed
You make me remember things I want to forget
Yes I do need to feel love
And I used yours like a glove
But the memories come flooding back
All I want to do is paint it black
This starving soul must be fed
You make me remember
You speak my name I hear nothing
You share your dreams I see nothing
Unconscious suicide aren't you gone yet
You make me remember things I want
You make me remember things I need
You make me remember things I want to forget

    I love this song so, so much. There's just something about it. It makes me think about this guy I like, but i'm too shy to tell him and so when I talk to him it makes me think about how much I like him and I wish I could just forget about him cause it would make everything so much easyer. i know thats not what the song is really about, but thats what it makes me think about.

    This song is actually about child sex abuse. Leah herself was a victim and portrays her horrific memories in a way that any victim will find distressing.

    I can see how this song is tied to Leah's childhood abuse, as are many of her other songs.

    However, I can not hear this song without thinking of a guy. Things ended really badly between us, and I never got any resolution on the issue. Truth be told, I'd really rather forget about it. The lines "Yes, I do need to be loved/And I used yours like a glove" describe our relationship, and everytime I see anything connected to him, I feel so much guilt over what happened...

    I don't see how this is reminding people of liking guys and such...

    This song is deff about Leah's sexual abuse and that she is in a relationship that is "unconscience suicide," meaning that it is negative and only reminds her of the past memories. This song is heartbreakingly real and I think she was very brave to sing it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.
