Don't fear,
Even though you're at a loss.

I'm numb,
A shell of empty thoughts.

But you glow,
You stretch and pull me out.

Does that trouble you?
Does that trouble you?

Love me
Hate me
Make me live again

I need you around
Heal me
Hurt me

Make me live again
I want you around
So long,
I never had experienced
This bliss.

So how could I resist?
And I'm fine
A little light-headed.

Does that worry you?
I didn't mean to worry you.

Now, retreating from the light
I love it when we fight
It makes me think
At least you still care

Give up, you're not going anywhere
Moonlight, illuminates your stare
And it's great, captivating you
Does that trouble you?
I didn't mean to trouble you

    I think this is about his first experience with love, and it being unreciprocated, but they were friends.

    and he would constantly want more, and she would constantly want to be friends.

    and he would go back and forth between wanting to be the best he could be for her, and absolutely hating her because he wasn't good enough for her.

    and when it all came down to it, they needed each other to be there, they needed each other around.

    personally, the first person I fell in love with made me grow exponentially as a person, I felt like I was alive for the first time, and for the first time in my life, I started setting goals and going for them, making something of myself, if for no other reason then that futile hope that I might at some point be good enough for her.

    and while that never happened, I still needed her, I needed her around to have that motivation, and she needed me around for the same reason.

    I think that's what this song is about.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
