From in the middle of the room
She hears the conversation moving
Further from where she's going,
Without even knowing,
Now the vibrations in the floor,
Are getting closer to the door and,
Is this the way you,
Let your problems drift away to?
I climb, So high, It blows me away sometimes,
See through, my holes, into this place i call my own,
And this time, I'll try, Its in the air tonight,
Sleep tonight, no more crying,
'Cause i've got you on my side

[Chorus]
I don't want you to be, anything at all,
I just want you to say you love me,
I don't care, just stop living like this,
I don't want to be, anything at all,
I just want you to see, who I am, and Stop the violence
No more silence

From in the middle of the room
She hears the conversation moving
Further from where she's going,
Without even knowing, knowing,
Now the vibrations in the floor,
Are getting closer to the door and,
Is this the way you,
Let your problems drift away to?

[Chorus]

I'm gonna show ya I'm alive,
Breathing clearly for the first time,
Take me in your arms, take me to the place where you are,
I needed time to clear my mind,
Keeping Balanced on this line,
Was impossible, before I met you,
I climb, so high, It blows me away sometimes,
Sleep tonight, no more cryin',
Cause I've got you on my side

[Chorus]

I'll shout form the top of the rooftop singing,
I'm not afraid of the bed I lay in,
Listen to the sound of the voices ringing,
I can't deny it, No more silence,
We'll shout from the top of the roof top singing,
We're not afraid of the bed we lay in,
Listen to the sound of the voices ringing,
I can't deny it,
No more silence!

    'And is this the way you Let your problems drift away to?'

    I think it should be too,not to.

    I think canadianchick is right. I haven't read any interviews where this song was discussed,but it sounds like someone turning to God in a time when he/she is being abused,or when someone close to them is being abused.

    At the beginning of the song I get a picture in my mind of a girl being abused by her father and her mother sitting there pretending it's not happening. As the song goes on,the mother stands up to her husband and seeks out the much needed help.'No more silence',right?

    Eventually things work out. 'I'm not afraid of the bed I lay in'

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
