Let's Get Alone

Versus The Mirror

A toast to those who taste the breath
a sweet reminder stained on a lover's neck
if it wasn't for this then I could hardly be
the sadistic masochist that I am today

React and fall
because this is war
a truth a trust
broken and torn apart

I'm planning all the words I speak
just to keep you here
deign yourself and proclaim your fate
a knuckle bled for you
when twilight hit the air
lost among the searching sinners
only for one last time
I want to hear you scream

I stole drops from the emerald sea
this life is what will be the death of me

a snap hand comeback
and I've got nothing to lose
a snap hand comeback
and I've got nothing to lose
a snap hand comeback
and I've got nothing to lose
a snap hand comeback
and I won't let you in.

    fav. song by this band, i always though the intro was about how he was lonely and took it out on himself: A toast to those who taste the breath a sweet reminder stained on a lover's neck if it wasn't for this then I could hardly be the sadistic masochist that I am today

    It means he's like jelous because he says "if it wasen't for this, then I could hardly be the sadistis masochist that I am today"

    GREAT song

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
