Write this down
Remember every word
You're not the things they told you way back then
You're so much more than ideas in your head
So bury them
And keep them so they can return when you're alone
So that you can fight them in the end

Boy, you know I'm sick and tired of healing all your pain
Its time for you to know the truth and cast your cares away

And keep them so they can return when you're alone

Boy, you know I'm sick and tired of healing all your pain
Its time for you to know the truth and cast your cares away
And I'm so sorry
It took too long to let you know that
Its alright and its OK
Cause they mean nothing anyway

So you say that you're so alone. Well loneliness is all we get.
Get used to it.

Boy, you know I'm sick and tired of healing all your pain
Its time for you to know the truth and cast your cares away
And I'm so sorry
It took too long to let you know that
Its alright and its OK
Cause they mean nothing anyway

    This song is obviously about a guy who has always helped this other person out but when actually this guy just needs to take it to heart and stop listening to bad things that may be said. The guy writing it feels bad that these things keep happening but he can't keep helping him.

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.
