Escucha la historia de un hombre que en el olvido murió
Sólo en la vida sin nadie que llore su ausencia
Se sienta una mujer junto a él que en su vida no conoció
Nunca tanto dolor le causó su condena.

Triste y sóla se adelanta sobre el hombre que ha de llegar...
Quizás nadie la vea llorar.

Rezos entre falsos lamentos ahogados tras otro sermón
Mientras ella arropa el cuerpo, abrazándolo
Nadie se acuerda del nombre más que para alzar su voz
Con la que maldecir a la muerte por miedo a su turno.

Maldigo tanto cinismo, miráis sólo en vosotros mismos
Y los demás ya se han quedado atrás...

Pero llegará el día en que las almas sonrían
En el que tú y yo, juntos una vez más
Y llegará el momento en el que tanto lamento
Llegue a su fin y ya no volverá.

Es hora de partir, de dejarlo todo tras de tí

Pero llegará el día en que las almas sonrían
En el que tú y yo, juntos una vez más
Y llegará el momento en el que tanto lamento
Llegue a su fin y ya no volverá.

Pero llegará el día en que las almas sonrían
En el que tú y yo, juntos una vez más
Y llegará el momento en el que tanto lamento
Llegue a su fin y ya no volverá.

    Translation:

    Lament

    Listen to the story of a man that died in oblivion Alone in life with no one to cry for his absence A woman he never met sits next to him His sentence never caused him such pain

    Sad and alone, she rushes to the man that has to go... Maybe no one will see her cry

    Prayers between fake laments drowned after another sermon While she clothes his body, hugging him No one remembers his name except to raise their voice With which they curse death for fear of their turn

    I curse such cynicism, look into yourselves And everyone else is left behind...

    But the day will arrive in which souls smile In which you and I, together once more And the moment shall arrive in which so much lament Comes to an end and doesn't return

    It's time to leave, to leave it all behind you

    But the day will arrive in which souls smile In which you and I, together once more And the moment shall arrive in which so much lament Comes to an end and doesn't return

    But the day will arrive in which souls smile In which you and I, together once more And the moment shall arrive in which so much lament Comes to an end and doesn't return

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.
