This so-call "shit" is what I live for, its why Im alive

Ill never smother this fire, forever burning inside

I'm at the point where i'm sucked in,

by the message I get this passion.

this fury is mine and it keeps me alive.

I cant fucking breath until I release what's inside.



an unloaded gun, that will never go off.

a rollercoaster ride, that can't wait to stop

so tell me who the fuck are you trying to fool?

tell me what the fuck have you put your heart into?



fuck the tame animal restricted to the cage

with predictable actions, that define your "rage"

I'm the motherfucking lion roaring in your face

tearing down those limits that keep you placed



say I care too much and i got it all wrong?

I'm in this for the message, it's more than just song

blood, sweat, intensity

every broken knuckle or busted knee

I'm doing my best, and I'm doing my part

don't criticize me man when theres no fire in your heart

    Ahem lol. This was Patricks Flynn's and Have Heart first song. Pat says in his interview, that he wanted a sense of honesty in his music, hense the name Have Heart. So Lionheart, is something of great pride and honesty. Only fit to express why he created this band.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
