You're lying through your teeth
It doesn't seem to be that bad
Until a good friends corpse is lying on the floor.
I can't seem to get by when all I'm living on is fake smiles.

We all seem to be on top of our own little worlds,
But that won't last long for most of us. We all tend to be a little too into ourselves,
But that won't last long (that won't last long).

An eternity it seems,
And it's starting to become that bad. It's taking too long,
And I am impatient.
I can't seem to get by when all I'm living on is lost miles.

We all seem to be on top of our own little worlds,
But that won't last long for most of us. We all tend to be a little too into ourselves,
But that won't last long (that won't last long).

Shut your mouth and listen.
There's no time for reminiscing, Because thinking of the past just never changed a thing.

Something's coming over me,
To see between the lines you'd never read.
Something's coming over me,
To read between the signs you'd never see,
And see between the lines you'd never read.

We all fall back, and step in line.

    i can't beleive this song has been posted for nearly a year and i am the first poster on it. I think it's amazing. Most of it I guess is pretty obvious to what it means, a lot of it's a message to the masses. "to see between the lines you'd never read" i think that means a lot, like you see the truth when you read between the lines but if you never read the lines in the first place, then how could it possibly be the truth? But at the same time, does it even matter?

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
