I've been down inside
Waiting around really makes you tired

Letting another get past by
Time goes slow and I don't know why (don't know why)
Its in my head
Your holding me back I wanna fly instead
Don't feel alive might as well be dead
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't care why (don't care why)

Outside a world full of strangers
Some I'd really like to know
I wanna stay but the sign says go

I know the day has come
I have just begun
No your never ever, ever gonna see me try
Your never gonna see me do anything but what I like
I know the day has come
We have just begun
No you're never ever, ever gonna see me lie
You're never gonna see me do anything but what I like

I wanna feel the light
Sun arising in the nick of time
I'm never really sure where I belong
I'm all alone and I don't know why (don't know why)
I want to raise my voice
I want to meet those good boys
I want to speak because living life's my choice
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't care why (don't care why)

Outside a world full of answers
Some I'd really like to know
I wanna stay but the sign says go

I know the day has come
I have just begun
No you're never ever, ever gonna see me try
You're never gonna see me do anything but what I like

I know the day has come
We have just begun
No your neve're ever, ever gonna see me lie
Your neve're gonna see me do anything but what I like

I wanna to make some noise (make some noise)
I Wanna to raise my voice (raise my voice)
Cause its what I like
I wanna to make some noise (make some noise)
I Wanna to raise my voice (raise my voice)
(All the sings says go)

I know the day has come
I have just begun
No your never ever, ever gonna see me try
Your never gonna see me do anything but what I like
I know the day has come
We have just begun

No you're never ever, ever gonna see me lie
You're never gonna see me do anything but what I

I know the day has come
I know the day has come (oh I know I know)
I know the day has come
We have just begun
No you're never ever, ever gonna see me lie
You're never gonna see me do anything but what I like

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.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
