Silent screams and shattered dreams
Of what we left at seventeen
Still lost within the misery
And pain that lies inside
Here alone, the fight to breathe
Still searching for the truth to be
Blackened by the burning fire
Held deep inside my mind

Far beyond the lost horizon
Standing on the shore
Across the seas, their hearts will bleed
This life we're waiting for
Taste the steel, in pain you kneel
For glory, we defend
Our fallen souls will rise to fight again

Stay here with me
This night we'll be together
Future in our hands, we'll fight
With freedom drawing near
Stand here with me
For we will live forever
Tonight, we stand and face it all

Falling rain will hide the pain
That lies beneath the burning flames
All hope is gone, so carry on
Before the world will fall
Rise again to die in vain
Now life can never be the same
Our own salvation drawing nearer
Hear the darkness call

Skies are falling, thunder storming
Stand before the world
We're banished now to barren wastelands
Fight the demon whore
Riding on through blackened darkness
Cross the endless sands
We sail away our victory at hand

Stay here with me
Together we'll be stronger
Side by side, we've conquered lands
And stormed across the seas
Die here with me
We feel this pain no longer
For now and ever we will be

In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards the distant sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body
(Just scream) set me free

In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards the distant sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body

In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards a glory sun
Tears evermore, we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body
Feel the breakdown of my body
(Just scream) set me free

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
