The sale
Most grand in history
Was done in pure deceit
The man in 30 years of debt
We're repossessed for it

By a world that's only
Numbers and a name
But I won't buy another day

So take this life, I'm over and done
Living for everyone
Pass these expectations
For someone else's dreams
This life, just who is it for
'Cause it ain't mine anymore
You see little by little
They raped it away from me

The boy, innocent, naive
Was give and no receive
The soul or what seems to be left
Of me can feel the theft

Layer by layer
Inch by inch
my dream we were saved
But it hurts the pinch

This life, just take back this fate
And in my heart, it breaks
At least I won't have to cry
For someone else's face
This life, just who is it for
'Cause it ain't mine anymore
You see little by little
They raped it away

Hey you, where were you
When it all went down
Did they buy you too
(Was it untruthful)
So much for the blues
My heart sings but
It ain't mine to lose
It's yesterday's news

Layer by layer
Inch by inch
My dream we were saved
But it hurts to pinch

The world has only
Numbers and a name
But I won't buy another day

So take this life, I'm over and done
Living for everyone
Pass these expectations
For someone else's dreams
This life, just who is it for
'Cause it ain't mine anymore
You see little by little
They raped it away from me

This life, just take back this fate
And in my heart it breaks
At least I won't have to cry
For someone else's face
This life, just who is it for
'Cause it ain't mine anymore
You see little by little
They raped it away from me
(By you, by you, by you)
Yeah...oh yeah

Raped it away from me
Hey you, where were you
Hey you, where were you
Hey you, where were you

The sale
Most grand in history
Was done in pure deceit

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."

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.
