(This is on your hands)

The key to your empty heart,
was thrown away long ago
Tossed into the flames,
where all my other hopes go.

(Pre-Chrous)
So tell me what it feels like...
(tell me what it feels like)
And tell me what it feels like now.
Tell me what it feels like
(tell me what it feels like)
And tell me what it feels like...

(Chorus)
Chasing impossible dreams...
And driving the road to nowhere fast.
Just recognize this notion...
...this is what impossible means to me.
(impossible means)

This probably oasis,
The one i've forced inside my skull,
I have to brush it aside now,
To where my other hopes go.

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

(This is on your hands)

    ah yes, the first song i ever wrote. pretty self-explanatory eh? i could have named this song "beating a dead horse" but that didn't go over well with our target age group (children 4-12). to sum it up, this song is about going after things that you want, but feel so distant that its almost unreachable. sometimes people convince themselves that what they want is so close, even if its impossible to get...so yeah, enjoy

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.

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.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
