There is no safe place for me to hide
There's no safe place for me, too tired
There is no safe place for me to hide
There's no safe place for meâ?¦

It always hurts when it's someone you love
Won't you rise above
There's a price in blood

It always hurts when it's someone you love
Won't you rise above
There's a price in love

There is no safe place for me to hide
There's no safe place for me, I'm so tired
There is no safe place for me to hide
There's no safe place for me
I'm tired

So tell me a story about your life
I don't mind, I don't mind
Won't you tell me? That will be just fine.
I don't mind, idle mind.
Singin' songs about the â??ald lang zine'
I don't mind, I don't mindâ?¦

(Forever)
Won't you lend me your sins against you
For every thing I understand
One thousand more won't comprehend (Forever)
It always hurts when its someone you love
Won't you rise, rise above
(Forever)
It always hurts when it's someone you love
Won't you rise above
There's a price in blood

I see the car that your mom keeps sending, when I breathe it feels just like my life is ending. I think of the one that I most respected and all the words that I'm now regretting.
Id hold them now, but I'm bruised and beaten and I'm alone and I've barely eaten.
And it seems just like the way it goes that down the road we may have known about the love in both of us we push and shove, betray the trust, don't let this make a fool of us I'm tired hungry broke and just wish I could come back home

Forever, forever
Calling you out I called your bluff
But â??that just wasn't good enoughâ??
You split my face and spilled my blood
Then tears ran down the face I loved

It always hurts when its someone you love
Won't you rise above?

    Hurt's songs are mainly about bad relationships, this one is about not "rising above" or not being the better person and just letting little stuff turn into a big argument. "I see the car that your mom keeps sending" means his girl's mom. He still loves her, more than anything, but they just fight too much is what i think this song is about.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
