Losing you was like losing an arm, in a war that I've fought since the
day I was born,
While the parliament talks and the mobsters make plans,
I look for the bird, that has flown from my hand,

Losing sleep in a Tel-Aviv hotel,
I cut holes in the sheets so that no one can tell,
To wear out on the town, a cloak for a ghost,
Who can pass through the walls of the hearts he needs most.

Sex without love, sex without love, sex without love is not easily done,
It takes gallons of wine, to quiet the blood,
Yer eyes may get drunk but your mind won't shut up enough
To touch her without trust,
Are you strong enough for sex without love?

Cutting the wings so I turn with each steps,
Its been down the same track since the day that you left,
The telephone takes all the truth from your voice,
While your friends draw their swords and scream freedom of choice,

Its been into the breach, its been travel or die,
The planes that we ride track the sun through the sky,
So the sun never sets, the timezones just change,
You can travel all night and not make up one day,

Sex without love, sex without love, sex without love is not easily done,
It takes gallons of wine, to quiet the blood,
Yer eyes may get drunk but your mind won't shut up enough
To touch her without trust,
Are you strong enough for sex without love?

Losing you was like losing the plot, to a story I wrote an then somehow
forgot,
Pour the wine from the glass, wipe the smudge from the edge,
The thought from my head an the smell from the bed,
Losing you was like losing an arm, in a war that I've fought since the
day I was born.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
