Your heart is tired of feelin'
Your hand is lettin' go off mine
The night has fallen and it's stealin'
The last of our little life this time

In the arms of eternity
Twilight finds you in my arms
The mornin' finds you gone

We gotta dream forever
We have to pretend we're still in love
And I wouldn't dare try to wake you
Sleep with me, a dream in love

In the arms of eternity
Twilight finds you in my arms
The mornin' finds you gone

In the arms of eternity
Twilight finds you in my arms
The mornin' finds you gone

We gotta dream forever
We gotta pretend we're still in love
And I wouldn't dare try to wake you
Sleep with me, a dream in love

When newborn rays of sun
Dare to shine through this day
Cold virgin air is just all that remains
In my cold let darkness fall

We gotta dream forever
We gotta pretend we're still in love
I wouldn't dare try to wake you
Sleep with me, a dream in love
Sleep with me, a dream in love
Sleep with me, a dream in love

    My Opinion

    This is a truly beautiful song, I've listend to it a thousand times and I've never once got sick of it.

    Yeah, I assumed that this song is about death as well.

    "Your heart is tired of feeling Your hand is letting go of mine The night has fallen and it's stealing The last of our little life this time" It's not like her heart is getting tired of feeling, but it's like her heart it slowly deteriorating because the cancer/illness/disese is making her weak. The part where is says 'the night has fallen and it's stealing the last of our little life this time' it's like... because it's night time, she'll be asleep and he wants her to be awake, because they don't have much time left to spend together.

    "In the arms of eternity Twilight finds you in my arms The morning finds you gone" It's like, she was sleeping in his arms at night time, then by the time the sun has risen, she has passed away whilst she was asleep.

    "We gotta dream forever We have to pretend we're still in love And I wouldn't dare try to wake you Sleep with me a dream in love" It's like, she'll be with him in his dreams and he doesn't want to wake up because if he does he won;t get to be with her. 'I wouldn't dare try to wake you, sleep with me a dream in love' he doesn't want to wake her because she's peaceful, and because in their dreams they are together and happy and that's all he wants for them.

    I love this song, it's incredibly beautiful.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
