The thought of never knowing, could kill me just the same
The solitary blossom, the mind is of a friend

What are you saying, you've got nothing to live for
You're tired and broken, you just can't free yourself

And all the words we've spoken, are buried in the sand
The ruptured and the broken, that taste of bitter glass

What are you saying, you've got nothing to live for
You're tired and broken, you just can't free yourself
What are you saying, it's just a part of rejection
Pulling you deeper, you just can't free yourself

Your voluntary loving, apologies have passed and come around again
The fragments of a reason, the taste of bitter glass

So what are you saying, you've got nothing to live for
You're tired and broken, you just can't free yourself
What are you saying, it's just a part of rejection
Pulling you deeper, you just can't free yourself

    this song is so obviously about drummer Jon Lee.

    i think it's sung directly to him. the whole chorus "what are you saying? you've got nothing to live for?" is as if he's talking to him. before jon killed himself he called lead singer grant but he didn't pick up the phone as it was an unknown number. i suppose it's what he would've said if only he had answered.

    "reminders of a friend" blatant.

    but whatever. i could be wrong. beautiful song though. love it to death

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.
