C'mon

I read the book from back to front
It made a deep impression
Twenty thousand pages baby
And I hoped for some direction
I stood before the mirror
I stared at my reflection
I'd almost disappeared
And I made no impression
I went down to my baby's house
And I sat down on the step
Said 2000 years of Christian history baby
And you ain't learned to love me yet
My baby looked me in the eye
My nails were bitten to the quick
She said you used to love me all night long
But you've gotten so thin and sick

I'm gonna send you, send you, a love bomb, a love bomb

I'm gonna send you, send you, a love bomb, a love bomb

I read that book from back to front
Looking for some inspiration
I'd been listening to the radio
Trying to find some self expression
I been listening to the Woman's Hour
I been listening to Garden Question Time
But every thing I try to grow
I can't even grow a dandelion
Yeah, I've been watching the MTV
I've been watching the BBC
And I've been searching on the Internet
And I'm getting so thin and sick

I'm gonna send you, send you, a love bomb, a love bomb

I'm gonna send you, send you, a love bomb, a love bomb

I went to my baby's house
And I sat down on the step
Yeah I went down to my baby's house
And I lay down on the step
She said what are you doing here
I said I been trying to make some sense
But every action that I take
Is of absolutely no fucking consequence
My baby said you can sit there
She reached down with her fingers
Her fingers went right through me
I screamed my head off
I was so thin and sick

I'm gonna send you, send you, a love bomb, a love bomb

I'm gonna send you, send you, a love bomb, a love bomb

I'm gonna send you, send you, a love bomb, a love bomb

    Agreed, this one is amazing and beside great music lyrics are fantastic. To me it sounds like it is about agony of unreturned love and about hopeless feeling when we cant make an immpression no matter how much we tried. No clue what Christian history part means, ideas?

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
