Time won't last
And I can't believe you
62 degrees
Everything is blue
Silhouette of trees
And I see is you

Before I
(Before I)
Give into your eyes
(See your eyes)
I want you to know
That I can be so bored

I blame you
For all the wrong things I say
(I blame you)
(For all the wrong things I say)

Before you go
6:30 PM
Everything is blue
(I'm never gonna have to)
Stuck inside this dream
And all I see is you

Before I
(Before I)
Give into the sky
(See your eyes)
I want you to know
That I can be so bored
That I can be so bored

Turn it off!
Turn it on again
Turn it off!
Turn me on again
Turn it off!
So now I will pretend

Time won't last
(Turn it off)
And I can't believe you

You've got me in a tough situation
Sorry if this sounds stupid
I'm losing my mind
Through this repetition
Stop me before I lose you too

Leave it to me to be cynical
Jaded and boring
Rhetorical
This dry humor that keeps me here each day
Is all that I have

Leave it to me to be cynical
(Before I)
Jaded and boring
(Give into your eyes)
Rhetorical
(See your eyes)
This dry humor that keeps me here each day
(I want you to know)
Is all that I have
(That I can be so bored)

Leave it to me to be cynical
Jaded and boring
Rhetorical
This dry humor that keeps me here each day
Is all that I have
To keep you away

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.

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
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
