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

    My Interpretation

    I think this song is about someone who is fighting falling in love. Maybe they haven't felt love in a very long time. Perhaps the words of this song is directed at the one who loves them and they are constantly trying to run from it, but then they start to like the idea. It is mentioned, (Love me, hate me. Make me live again. I need you around.) Even though this person runs from the attention, they are aware of the fact that they need it. The song started out with- (Don't fear, even though your at a loss. I'm numb, a shell of empty thoughts.) This could possibly be the loveless one who recognizes that the one who loves them is bothered by their passiveness and to not fear possibly because the loveless one is starting to maybe feel again. (But you glow, You stretch and pull me out.) That is the one who loves...they glow or exude love and has challenged the one who became numb to feel again. (Does that trouble you? Does that trouble you?) Perhaps that is the reaction of the loveless one to Love, thinking...am I worth this, will you stick with me even though I hold back? (Heal me, hurt me. Make me live again.) This is the loveless one who realizes that to feel love is to take a chance of being hurt. Heal me, is to be loved. The loveless one is asking to be loved because healing will come. (So long, I never had experienced, this bliss.) This is where one could get the idea that the loveless once loved...So long...maybe long ago they did experience love or what they call bliss. (So how could I resist? and I'm fine. A little light headed.) This could be one feeling that it is hard to resist love when they know its true. So they are fine & the light headed feeling is them allowing themselves to feel love from another and maybe they could possibly be starting to love back. (Does that worry you? I didn't mean to worry you.) That is the loveless one that realizes that it concerns the one who loves them, but they continue to try to shake love off by staying composed..."I'm fine". (Now retreating from the light, I love it when we fight, it makes me think, At least you still care.) Retreating from the light could possibly mean that you are still running away from the one who loves you, and it ends up causing fights. Loveless one realizes that if their partner didn't care, they wouldn't bother to fight. They wouldn't be questioned for their actions or lack thereof. (Give up, your'e not going anywhere. Moonlight, illuminates your stare. And it's great, captivating you. Does that trouble you? I didn't mean to trouble you.) This is Loveless continuing to push away Love...Give up, your not going anywhere. Maybe Loveless trying to convince Love that you will not penetrate this heart. Although Loveless pulls away, it makes one happy to know that Love is captivated by them. Does that trouble you is perhaps Loveless wondering if Love will stick with oneself. Loveless wants to live again. Loveless wants to Love. To Live is to Love and To Love is to Live! <3 Let Love in when you know its true. <3

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
