All your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
Oh all your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
She's just like you
So why keep doing what you do
Why cut a friend
Why cruise that mean lean to an end
You could have heel toed
To another place
You could have peeled slow
To a better face
But your heart can't grieve
For your little dreams
Oh no your heart can't grieve
Not for your little dreams
All your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
All your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
Broke trust in two
Now no one's looking out for you
Why keep it cruel
Why waste so much to play the fool
And maybe I'm the fool but I think we'd find
That we could all be so so kind
If you'd just leave your tread mill powertrip behind
Oh leave your treadmill powertrip behind
And maybe it's best that you're so so blind
It's best that your so so blind
Because your heart can't grieve
I know your heart can't grieve
I know your heart can't grieve
What your eyes won't see
But you were my favorite moment
Of our dead century
I know your heart can't grieve
What your eyes won't see
But you were my favorite moment
Of our dead century
But all your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
Oh all your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
Oh warfarin' terrapin
Unconfined undesigned
Undersigned bantering
Bartering bellowing
Barracking blundering
Pillaging plundering
Living and lavishing
Hammerings harrowing
Flourishing flattening
Levelling reveling
Wrecking and ravaging
Savoring savaging
Oh warfarrin terrapin
Unconfined undesigned
You've got me worried and wondering
All your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
All your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
Oh all your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
She's just like you
So why keep doing what you do
Why cut a friend
Why cruise that mean lean to an end
You could have heel toed
To another place
You could have peeled slow
To a better face
But your heart can't grieve
For your little dreams
Oh no your heart can't grieve
Not for your little dreams
All your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
All your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
Broke trust in two
Now no one's looking out for you
Why keep it cruel
Why waste so much to play the fool
And maybe I'm the fool but I think we'd find
That we could all be so so kind
If you'd just leave your tread mill powertrip behind
Oh leave your treadmill powertrip behind
And maybe it's best that you're so so blind
It's best that your so so blind
Because your heart can't grieve
I know your heart can't grieve
I know your heart can't grieve
What your eyes won't see
But you were my favorite moment
Of our dead century
I know your heart can't grieve
What your eyes won't see
But you were my favorite moment
Of our dead century
But all your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
Oh all your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
Oh warfarin' terrapin
Unconfined undesigned
Undersigned bantering
Bartering bellowing
Barracking blundering
Pillaging plundering
Living and lavishing
Hammerings harrowing
Flourishing flattening
Levelling reveling
Wrecking and ravaging
Savoring savaging
Oh warfarrin terrapin
Unconfined undesigned
You've got me worried and wondering
All your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
All your dreams are over now

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

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
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I love all the different meanings you people are making, seriously, the one about U.S. foreign policy was classic. Now I'll toss my own meaning in there:
Personally I see this song from the perspective of "Jim" watching "Bob" push away a woman Bob loves, Jim sees this as stupid and immature (She's just like you so why keep doing what you do? why cut a friend?) and Jim is wondering why Bob is still subjecting himself to this despair (You could have heel-toed to another place)
Jim eventually comes to the conclusion that Bob can't let go (I know your heart can't grieve), but he also can't commit (What your eyes won't see).
Wings in this context means friends, Jim is concerned (Worried and wondering) because Bob is losing all his friends due to his heart problems. If your wings fall down you lose all your support and can't maintain flight.
The dreams he's talking about are really Bob's future. He's losing all his friends (all your wings are falling down) and his life is going down the drain (all your dreams are over now) because Bob's lost the ability to love (I know your heart can't grieve) and he's willfully blind to his pain (what your eyes won't see).
There's my two cents.
