@[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.
She smiles at me, then brings coffee to the table
Then pours sugar in my cup, I need her here like she's a drug
Whispers that she wants me, "Then take over my body"
From the Kitchen to the bedroom
You're just like the day i met you
Cold and Calm
That rings not on the hand i know that i left it
She's Packed her bags cause now she's had it
Don't look at me with those eyes I'm still leaving
Oh Yeah the sugar in my cup has lost it's flavor like your touch
With one call to the taxi
She walks right past me
From the stairway to the front door
One goodbye then i was no more...
I've got apologies on napkins with all the things to say
I say "Im Sorry" For a reaction but you're still walking away
And i know it's too late
She's screaming "Dont wait by the bedside, I'm not coming back this time"
Run After her
This could be just like a movie
See me standing in the Rain, How easily she looks right through me
Go inside she's crying...The last 3 years she's been lying
My life's a rainstorm of "I Love You's"
I miss you stepping in the puddles
Drive Away, Go against Fate
You screwed me over like always
Babe one day you will be sorry
I've got apologies on napkins with all the things to say
I say "Im Sorry" For a reaction but you're still walking away
And i know it's too late
She's screaming "Dont wait by the bedside, I'm not coming back this time"
I started playing in the rain
I'm who i am, I'll never change
and i hope lightning strikes me down
I'll show you and this whole town that i'm 1 in a million
I never wanted to fit in any place except your heart but we grew apart
Now rainy days are all i have and i keep dreaming in the past
You keep me awake
No more i can take
and i'm still breathing
Keep Me Breathing
You Keep Me Breathing

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is a aaamazing song.
I think its just about someone leaving. But worded like really great.
Go Archie Star.!
11:11 forrreverrr.
what an awesome song. im not very good at knowing what songs mean though. seriously though, i suck at it.
this is one of the best songs i have ever heard. enough said.
Its kinda about how he messed up his mariage along with how the girl messed up the mariage
I love when he sings
"You screwed me over like always Babe one day you will be sorry"
There is such bitterness and sadness in his voice.
I also just thought about the
"My life's a rainstorm of "I Love You's" I miss you stepping in the puddles Drive Away, go against fate."
It's like he believes SO MUCHthat they should be together and her saying no pisses him off so much. And although he showers her with love now he did something she won't forgive and he doesn't understand.
"I say "Im Sorry" For a reaction but you're still walking away" He is saying he is sorry so she will say something back so that maybe he can get something out of her except for rejection.
Drive Away, Go against Fate You screwed me over like always Babe one day you will be sorry
i relate to this line so much hes pretty much saying go ahead and leave but your going against what is meant to be theres so much resentment in the next line when he says "you screwed me over like always" although he has wronged her theres still that wrong doing on her part too and the "babe one day you'll be sorry" as if saying one day when she wants him back he wont accept her again because she walked out of his life.
I love this song.
I love the end,when he sings softly,and I just love Archie Star. Bless Myspace.
I love this song.. one of my most favorite parts is when he is like
"I started playing in the rain I'm who i am, I'll never change and i hope lightning strikes me down I'll show you and this whole town that i'm 1 in a million I never wanted to fit in any place except your heart "
I love love love that part. it really hits home.
run after her this could be just like a movie!
