Lead on
To keep our feelings strong
And make me still believe
Our page is one and the same
Our ways will separate tonight

You say if we were to wait
Some things just might be changed
I say that I don't have the strength
To fuel a burning flame
Speak to me
What can I say, we just live too far away
That's a shame that love can make you stay

Sweet thing
I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are
You say this could work someday
When you and I both know this is the end

Leave me the way it has to be
Excuse my poor excuse
Tell me that insecurities
Are what drove me to you
And everyday I compare your face
From sweet beginnings to your bitter end

Sweet thing
I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are
You say this could work someday
When you and I both know this is the end
Let me let go

Sweet thing
I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are
You say this could work someday
When you and I both know this is the end

    This is totally one of my all time favorite TSL songs! I mean this one totally roxz! I just think that the CD "Say It Like You Mean It" is a total butt kicker! I mean the whole thing roxz! And this song got some of the best lyrics n instrumental! Jeeze! This song is just so awesome! Totally wut you would expect form TSL! I mean they gotta and havta be one of the best bands today! I mean this song is totally awesome. The instrumental along with Ken's voice totally rock it together. Did anyone look at these lyrics in the folded part of the CD? They're a little messed up. They got the Ken's name as Kenny and this girl's name Karina. Idk! W/e I guess! All I know is I love this song and TSL! HeHe! ~aMbEr* :)

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
