Well, I was movin' at the speed of sound
Head spinnin', couldn't find my way around, and
Didn't know that I was goin' down, yeah, yeah
Where I been; well, it's all a blur
What I was lookin' for I'm not sure
Too late and didn't see it coming, yeah, yeah

Then I crashed into you
And I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me
But then you breathed your breath in me
Then I crashed into you
Like a runaway train
You will consume me
But I can't walk away

Somehow I couldn't stop myself
I just wanted to know how it felt
Too strong, I couldn't hold on, yeah, yeah
Now I'm just tryin' to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened
Where we're headed
There's just no knowin', yeah, yeah

And then I crashed into you
And I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me
But then you breathed your breath in me
Then I crashed into you
Like a runaway train
You will consume me
But I can't walk away

Your face, your eyes
Are burnt into me
You save me, you gave me
Just what I need
Oh, just what I need

And then I crashed into you
And I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me
But then you breathed your breath in me
Then I crashed into you
Like a runaway train
You will consume me
But I can't walk away

Then I crashed into you
And then I crashed into you
And then I crashed into you
And then I crashed into you
Then I crashed into you
Like a runaway train
You will consume me
But I can't walk away

    I find it interesting that some of you think this song is about God. Even more interesting is the fact that nobody has refuted it... I think the lyrics could definitely be interpreted that way; that's how my relationship with God is. I tried all the things the world said would help me fill the void — things that promised to make me happy and content — and in the end I was left with nothing. Absolutely nothing. It was all just a waste of time; an endless pursuit of temporary "remedies." My world came crashing down — and I crashed into Him. My life has never been the same since. This song could also just be an incredibly romantic song about someone he's totally and completely in love with, but the symbolism in the lyrics ("Where I've been, well it's all a blur. What I was looking for, I'm not sure," "you breathed your breath in me," "you will consume me") are just too close to the Christian experience to ignore. That's what makes a good song, lyrically: the ability to make one think about the possible meanings, or to shorten it a bit, to make one simply just think.

    Anyhow, I'm really impressed with Daughtry's album. I'd have to say "Home" is my favorite. That's a really feel-good song. It kind of tugs at the heart with a sense of yearning...

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
