street nights
cool nights
a couple of clueless kids
smoking cigarettes
talking out loud
could you comprehend what they must be thinking?
explanations burned into frustration

songs of broadbred(??)
hanging off the lips
silence enters
the conversation slips
it seems what they want
is closer than we imagine
one leans in and asked the other

would it be alright if i told you something in spite?
i will listen to you on one condition
i will call your bluff without suspicion
about the way you feel tonight

cylce (??)
false hopes
pitfalls and close calls
steam rising off the surface
i can't explain the nervousness
that we send to analyze to death
she seems so nice
seems being a key word

i explain myself
in the most useless way
i dive in too fast
scaring off the web
in an ocean where the motion crushes the surf
and pulls be back to you

scenery changing
a certain look of disguise
off the rounded helm of the pretty brown eyes
sucking his mouth dry
you used to lose in
everyone in this life
all the reckless
in her visions
i sat inside
slow my breathing and fright
about the way i feel tonight

    Pretty sure this song is called In the Key of J for Any and the cd case has it wrong.

    "Tones of bright red hanging off the lips..."

    "Tightrope, false hopes, pitfalls and close calls..."

    "I can't explain the nervousness that we Tend to analyze to death"

    "I sigh inside, slow my breathing in fright, about the way I feel tonight."

    Great song.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
