Burnt Vacant Red

Something Corporate

This head ache.. incisions
machine washed your letters and tore up your pictures

This handle.. this feeling
your hatred, the floor, your love, the cieling

I wish I.. could take it.. all back from saying the lines I was faking

You never noticed.. I never said, I'd never need... burnt vacant red

This longing, this tear eye.. I wish I could find you alone on a highway

And tell you.. I'm sorry, I cried at your wedding and rained on your party

And if I, don't make it.. feel bad for one moment, and after that shake it

Cause you never told me , and I never said that I'd never need.. burnt vacat red

Rememberance, sedation.. A plane ticket home and a life of frustration

A gift horse, to glance at.. thrown away food for beggers to stare at

I'm broken, I'm tired.. I still miss the times when I was inspired

I'll never tell you, whats all in my head. And pity me hiding.. burnt vacat red

Intentions, submissions.. an analong clock comprimised my position

The fragile.. the dagger.. still on broken gass I drunkenly stagger

The voices, inside me.. are stand alone fixtures and reasons for hiding

And I never showed you, when we went to bed, that this heart in my chest is
Burnt Vacant Red....

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.

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.

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/

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.
