I thought you were the one when I heard Holidays in the sun come
From your bedroom but my mind started to stray when I saw Youth of Today
Mixed with your singles what's with this underdog
And this GNR EP? I don't think Hanoi rocks
And I don't want your Paul Stanley next to my Subhumans gatefold
I'm not trying to be a jerk but I don't think this record mergers gonna work

But when I saw Christ on Parade, and This is Boston, Not LA
I knew you were the one
I knew you were for me when I saw the first Vandals EP
I found SNFU and cool I owned that record too
Seems we both had Social Unrest and sung "she's a pervert nurse"
We both had the first pressing of How Could Hell Be Any Worse

So now we got two Earth ADs and we got two Killing Jokes
We got two Adolescents two Peni's and two The Crews
We got two Someone Got Their Head Kicked Ins
We got two Declines, two Damaged
And two Jelous Agains, I knew you were the one

When I saw Machine Gun Etiquette
I knew you were the one when I saw the Peace War comp
We got two Articles of Faith, 31 minutes of group sex
We got a couple of Avengers, and a pair of Out Of Steps
We got 2 What We Do Is Secret, we got 2 TSOL's
We got 2 Freedom Of Choices we got two Three Hits From
Hells

I knew you were the one

    Okay so in the song, this guy finds this girl that likes a band that he also likes.. But when he looks though her CD collection, he see's a lot of bands he hates.. But he ends up finding some CDs that he really really really likes.. The rest of the song is about them getting together and putting their CD collections together.. And now they have two copies of each CD..

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

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.
