Sometimes things can get crazy
But that's no reason to go run and hide
I haven't heard from you lately
The days and nights just keep passing on

Well I guess that it's over
But I have no fear in letting go
I gotta look to the future
It's time to face the music
And make it on my own so

[Chorus]
Don't cry for me baby
I'm operating on a natural high
Don't you cry for me baby
The past is over so kiss it goodbye

Don't you stand in my shadow
Cause when you do I take it personal
I guess it's time to let you go
Can't sit here waiting for a miracle

I got to get a reaction
Communication seems to be a no
What happened to the attraction
If I don't get an answer
I think I better go so,

[Chorus]

Don't you cry for me
Don't shed a tear for me
I'm gonna be alright
Don't you cry for me
I'm not in misery
I can't wait

I'm gonna have me a good time

[Chorus]

So dry your eyes, no need to cry, no time for sad goodbyes
It's time to go, nothing to show, so baby don't you cry

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.
