Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna feel
When suddenly I slip away?

Almost am a ghost
Of who I used to be
Yesterday.

How you gonna touch
And how will you collect
The beauty when it turns to dust?

Everything we make
The cells we generate
Of both of us..

Please be aware that I am you!
Nothing could be more certain
This ain't the time the place for us
To understand this life!

Hold you in my arms
Hold you in my gaze
Singing with my dying breath

Underneath this earth
A resurrected soul
And nothing else

Sorry for this space
If I could fill a void
An ocean wouldn't hold my love

And everything I have
And all I ever was
Is not enough

Please be aware that I am you!
Nothing could be more certain
This ain't the time the place for us
To understand this life!

(I will protect you)

Please be aware that I am you!
Nothing could be more certain
This ain't the time the place for us
To understand this life!

This ain't the time! This ain't the place!
This ain't the time! This ain't the place!
This ain't the time! This ain't the place!

I will protect you...

    cool song, somehow resembles "hollow life" to me... the outro rocks; the mixed-up bagpipes are cool, and Jordison's drumming is fucking great - as always.

    Well, if the next album is going to be like this, I'm happy that Korn stays with their unique style.

    About the lyrics... another love song from Jon. A song about caring for your loved one... and that you can never care TOO much. :)

    "Sorry for this space If I could fill a void An ocean wouldn't hold my love" ...explains it all.

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.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
