Midnight
Lock all the doors
And turn out the lights
Feels like the end of the world
This Sunday night

There's not a sound
Outside the snow's coming down
Somehow, I can't seem to find
The quiet inside my mind

3:02
The space in this room has turned on me
All my fears have cornered me here
Me and my TV screen

The volume's down
Blue Lights are dancing around
But still, I can't seem to find
The quiet inside my mind

Daylight is climbing the walls
Cars start
Feet walk the halls
The world wakes
And now I am safe
At least by the light of day
At least by the light of day

    This song is about not being able to fall asleep, when you have something heavy on your mind. Having something bad or upsetting on your mind only makes you want to sleep it away, and not being able to sleep and only lay in the room forces you to face your problem. He is saved when day comes because you can wake up and not have to face your problems.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
