My eyes are tracing patterns carved into the skies over New Mexico
It makes me want to ride home
And I've lost touch of everything that means anything to me
My friends always forgive me

We become too brave and quick,
A little clever, a little numb
We could a stare a lover in the eyes and lie
"Yes, I don't feel anything at all"

And I could say
When I have everything I need right now
I hope you're proud you liar
But its late
The weight of all my emptiness comes crashing down on me

I'm terrified
I can't recollect the faces that once kept me warm
They wait back home
Time takes it's toll, on me
I used to be so obvious with all my words, so
But at least I was honest
Ahhhh Ahh Ahh Ahhhh

And I could say
When I have everything I need right now
I hope you're proud you liar
But its late
The weight of all my emptiness comes crashing down on me

Tennis courts and makers
And paperback best sellers
I want to be home
I want to be myself again
Tennis courts and makers
And paperback best sellers
I want to be home
I want to be myself again

And I could say
When I have everything I need right now
I hope you're proud you liar
But its late
The weight of all my emptiness comes crashing down on me

    No comments yet? This is my favourite song on the new album. I think basically he's spending time away from home, possibly touring or something? He misses his home and all of his friends and family waiting for him there. I love the beginning, "My eyes are tracing patterns carved into the skies over New Mexico, It makes me want to ride home." Anyone know why it's called Hello Colour Red?

    No idea on the title, but indeed an awesome song from the new album. I think the line "The weight of all my emptiness comes crashing down on me" has to be one of the best lines I've ever heard. Brilliant as always DLD!

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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
