Like the doctors we wanted to fix your heart
Well, my baby and I dance in my kitchen.
My baby is like a doctor,
She cures me when I'm sick.
Well, and you all are all the little doctors.
And I’m a doctor.

We’re the same, we’re the same.
It’s not our fault we’re to blame.
It’s our songs, it’s your job.
It’s the place where we’re from.
Some will notice some wont,
And some care but most don’t.
We know how it goes but we defiantly don’t.
Yeah, and it's true;
We’re shallow and scared but it's cool.

And I know that it’s cold.
And it's cold all alone in our houses,
When our houses are houses not homes.

Ask your parents, your friends, your siblings yourself,
Why we wait so damn long to ask for some help.
My sister Samantha reads books in her room,
While I keep my door locked when I'm writing for you.

Like my best friends you can tell I haven’t been myself.
Myself is you as a writer and other writers.
Like a writer you second guess every time you guess.
We keep guessing till our little heart stops,
Then it stops.

And it’s in the people you see at work everyday.
It’s in the people in the streets or in homes everyday.
It’s in my girlfriend on the phone, in her bed at night.
It’s in your boyfriend in the halls at your school.
Am I right?
And if we’re lucky to have met them and have something to share.
We get so wrapped up in timing, location and what’s fair.
You love it or you hate it,
And it’s somewhat the same.
You’re living and dying like everything, everyday.

We got problems.
Yeah, we got cancer.
We lose our girlfriends, our mothers, and our brothers.
Then we gain some friends and we love them for them.
And we’ll be great parents, great uncles, and cousins.
Our hearts are little clocks screaming tick tock, tick tock.
We go tick tick, tick tock.
Yeah, we all tick tock, tick tock.
An Apple is an apple.
And an apple is the same.
And an apple a day will keep these nightmares away.

    extensive lyrics... I think they are mainly about how life is everyday, the ups and downs, and how we are living and dying at the same time

    i think it's about how everyone's the same in the sense that we're all living and dying at the same time, and how we all have problems.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

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.

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.
