From the City of Constellations
To the wanderer
And a Place of Rains
He journeys on
The City of hesitation and doubt
The Island if the house the color of the sea
The Plain of Mementoes
He journeys on to find his love
Th Valley of lost time
The City of End and Endlessness
The Isle of Revenents
He journeys on
The City of Solitudes
The City of distance from you
The City of Words of blue
And yellow and red and green
He journeys on to find his love

Where the road takes him through
The City of Sleep
The thinking that does not end in within him
Then he dreams
The road takes him
This man who is searching
It brings him
In silence through the night
Where the Cities that do not Exist, exist
It brings him
In silence through the night
Close to the City of Realizations
It is here one finds the way
Mount Orison
The City of Days
The Tree of the lost
He journeys on
North of his love
A road through a valley of darkness
The islands that are not of this world
He journeys on to find his love

It is a long way through darkness
To the way of the eremite
To the eremite sings of the world and of
The journey of love, which is not lost in eternity
The Valley where the moon is caught in trees
Water shows the hidden heart
Endlong into midnight
He journeys on
The parable of day
The Room of Books
Where the winds come to him and say

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
