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”
I don't know what I'm doing
I say the wrong things half the time
I'm only human
Not anything you can define
I'm rushing day to day
To find my way
To where I'm going
Don't try to fight me
I'm all I can be
[Chorus:]
Sometimes it's hard
No matter who you are
It's life, it's life
And I'm just trying to get it right
Sometimes I feel
Like this whole thing isn't real
But it's life, it's life
And I'm just trying to get it
Trying to get it right
I can't keep on living
Counting every breath I take
Just want to jump in
To the water so why wait
I'll make mistakes, I'll take the breaks
But I'll say something
Don't try to crowd me
Just give me time and give me space
[Chorus]
Let's go, let's go
Everybody wants to know
Where I'm gonna go
But I'm just gonna fly
Staying strong holding on
Thats just whats going on
and when I get it wrong
I know that I'll survive
Check that, check that
Never gonna look back
And say that I was too afraid to try... oh, oh, oh !
[Chorus]
Yeah... Yeah... Yeah it's life...
Yeah... Yeah yeah... trying to get it right
Yeah... Yeah yeah... it's life
I say the wrong things half the time
I'm only human
Not anything you can define
I'm rushing day to day
To find my way
To where I'm going
Don't try to fight me
I'm all I can be
[Chorus:]
Sometimes it's hard
No matter who you are
It's life, it's life
And I'm just trying to get it right
Sometimes I feel
Like this whole thing isn't real
But it's life, it's life
And I'm just trying to get it
Trying to get it right
I can't keep on living
Counting every breath I take
Just want to jump in
To the water so why wait
I'll make mistakes, I'll take the breaks
But I'll say something
Don't try to crowd me
Just give me time and give me space
[Chorus]
Let's go, let's go
Everybody wants to know
Where I'm gonna go
But I'm just gonna fly
Staying strong holding on
Thats just whats going on
and when I get it wrong
I know that I'll survive
Check that, check that
Never gonna look back
And say that I was too afraid to try... oh, oh, oh !
[Chorus]
Yeah... Yeah... Yeah it's life...
Yeah... Yeah yeah... trying to get it right
Yeah... Yeah yeah... it's life

@[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

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
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.
she dedicated this song to Zac Efron (it's been confirmed) but I don't understand/get how the heck this song can be related to another person!!!! help me!!!
