I turn around and I'm in your world
Your pleasure is my pain in your world
But dissatisfied I'll crawl to your world
But your body's warmth
Will only leave me colder in my world

No, it's not what I wanted
But she's holding my hand
No, it's not what I wanted
At least she's holding my hand

Well, I'm inside out
I'm all inside out
Yes, she's tearing me apart
Well, I'm inside out

This casual arrangement
Leaves a bitter taste
Well, our usual commitments
That's just killing me and killing you

Well, a casual arrangement
Just leaves a bitter taste
Our usual commitments
That's just killing me, killing you

And I wish it was
Oh, if I could ch-ch-change the world, I would
Maybe circumstances could allow, would allow
And you could come around again tonight

Oh, but take me out of here
'Cause I'm never coming home
Oh, but take me out of here
'Cause I'm never coming home

Well, I'm inside out
I'm all inside out
Yes, she's tearing me apart
Well, I'm inside out

This casual arrangement
Leaves a bitter taste
Well, our usual commitments
That's just killing me and killing you

We better change, we better change, change
We better change, we better change, change
We better change, we better change, change

    The baseline reminds me of a sped upo version of Bloc Party's "This Modern Love" from their masterpiece album "Silent Alarm" Which is also amazing but so are these guys, well the baseline in Ready Now but Rise and Fall is also really good specially the first instrumental aprt

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
