Cut me up today
I should've stood in your way
You lied
And everywhere a dream
Nothing came between
I died
Give me away
I will not be for you
God comes down
Never gonna be the same

Never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same
And if you want water
And if you want food

And if you want shelter
I can not come over to you
And if you want love now
Or a needle and a spoon

You gotta show a little faith in me
Now baby I can't come over to you
It's never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same

God come down
And if you want hard out
Sittin' by the bay
Well the sun went down tomorrow

It will not come up today
And if you want love now
And wrapped your arms so cruel
If there's a god,it's me now baby

I can not come over to you
It's never gonna be the same
She drew me in anyway
She lied

You gotta show a little faith
Your old run across your name
What goes up must go down down down
God and if I wanted fame now

Or the glory of the womb
And if I want my name emblazed on every light a new
And if I wanted Christ
Or a messiah by my side

I can't believe in anything
I know that mary lied
Sent you up today
Could've got in your way

Oh mary lied
Do you know
Can you feel it
Do you feel me

Yeah
And if you wanted madness
If you want what's pure
Well you gotta come over to me

Baby my life doesn't reach to you
And if you want love so
Unconditional and real
You gotta ride that black horse baby

Through the depths of hell that I've been
Follow me away yeah
I will be the same
Strongest one to name

Through the valley of life
I'm gonna be the same
Goodnight goodnight goodnight
Oh never be the same

    I think it's about Kurt and how she misses him. She sings that "I can not come over to you" like she would like to see him again but she can't. And "the needle and the spoon" is about the drug addiction.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
