I live to hide, I'm weak and shrewd
I don't suppose you'd know
I've hidden behind these frigid eyes
They filter what I know
It burdens me, I'm never free
And peace I'll never know
I feel inside where nothing lies
And nothing left to show

So save me
I don't know, know myself
And I've been on this side alone
What's beyond it?

It comes from below the man I know
That lives inside of me
I live inside this blackened mind
It sums up what I see
I've found at last, my cruel past
Has found the end in me
I reach inside, just one more time
For the man I'll never be

So save me
I don't know, know myself
And I've been on this side alone
What's beyond it?
So crawl inside
I reach for a sign, how I need it
To gain what's mine
To gather control, how I lost it

When will it end?
When will it end?
When will it end?
When will it end?

Save me
I don't know, know myself
And I've been on this side alone
What's beyond it?
So crawl inside
I reach for a sign, how I need it
To gain what's mine
To gather control, how I lost it

    I think it's all about him wanting to regain comtrol over his life... "I reach for a sign, how I need it To gain what's mine To gather control, how I lost it " Maybe..he wants everything to be right again...and no one understands.

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."

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.
