Gazing  through  dark  windows  of  the  mind
“Crazy”,  they  say,  “what  she  sees  is  not  there”
But  why  would  God  play  tricks  on  her  mind?
Maybe  what  she  sees  is  underneath  everywhere
The  Sadness  Smile,  
She  smiles  because  she  knew
The  Sadness  Smile,  
She  knew  all  the  while
I  know  a  girl,  
Some  people  think  she’s strange 
Diagnosed  schizophrenic
White  shirts  found  her  deranged

Maybe  what  she  sees  is  true
Reality  in  a  different  hue  
I’d  drown  in  rue  if  I  had  her  view
Wouldn’t  you?  If  you  knew  
She  foreknew
She  foreknew

She  tattooed  shattered  glass  across  her  face
A  web  of  secrets  buried  in  her  cavernous  brain
And  through  the  night,  by  spirits,  she  is  chased
They  latch  upon  her  
Knowing  she  can  feel  their  bane
The  Sadness  Smile,  
She  smiles  because  she  knew
The  Sadness  Smile,  
She  knew  all  the  while
She  comes  to  me  late  at  night,  
Whispers  in  my  cage    
Tells  me  things,  I  feel  a  white  light
Her  words  drenched  in  burning  sage

Maybe  what  she  sees  is  true
Reality  in  a  different  hue  
I’d  drown  in  rue  if  I  had  her  view
Wouldn’t  you?  If  you  knew  she  foreknew
She  foreknew
She foreknew
She foreknew
She foreknew

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.

Dreamwalker
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.

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."

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.
