Call it liberation or frustration,
As it hits like a bomb
Tearing you apart as you're first in line,
Entering the zone
Watch how it runs, a nerve-wracking resistance
Watch how it burns, a venomous script's getting formed
You've travelled a long way to get here
And now it's waking you up

[Chorus]
Walk straight for a final solution
Walk straight, don't you be so cold
Walk straight with clear resolution
I'll state my case and never turn

Watch how it runs, watch how it burns
And it's all a deception
Break it and learn, there's no return
For a presence like mine

You've traveled a long way to get here

It's getting all so clear now, all the things I know
An elapse of conscious progress will last forevermore
My courageous insanity follows an infinite time
I'll be attaching the world
On my shoulders
Without a look
Inside

[Chorus]

    OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!! This band, is by far..THE BEST band I've heard since the new mil. This fucking band kicks some major ass. The very first time I heard this band, I got goosebumps. But. onward to a professional output. Ok. Nevermind, I still can't get over how good this fucking band is. God, if this band was any more perfect, it would give me panty-puddles

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
