This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Friday night became so lonely
When you came to make a break
That seemed to take all day to make me angry
'Cause I like you, maybe I'm just like you
Holding on to something that we know we cannot hold
Or fold it seems it seems we just can't forget
Are you frightened by perfection?
Is this who you are, not who you want to be?
I walk the line like Johnny Cash
I made the bus in seconds flat
I called your line too many times
I'm not obsessed just impolite
Sunday came and went so quickly
Now you say you want me back
You will hold on despite my cons
It seems we're meant to hate it being so dependent
But it seems we can believe that we're two peas in this pod
We call New York, gets so lonesome
Are you frightened by neglection?
Am I who you want to see yourself to be?
I walk the line like Johnny Cash
I made the bus in seconds flat
I called your line too many times
I'm not obsessed just impolite
You're stuck on me, you don't know why
Can't leave me anytime you try
They say that everybody cries
So don't think twice 'cause it's alright
Stay here
Touching you, touching the light in your eyes
That keeps coming back
Stay here
Touching you, touching the light in your eyes
That keeps coming back
Stay here
Touching you, touching the light in your eyes
That keeps coming back
Tell I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
When you came to make a break
That seemed to take all day to make me angry
'Cause I like you, maybe I'm just like you
Holding on to something that we know we cannot hold
Or fold it seems it seems we just can't forget
Are you frightened by perfection?
Is this who you are, not who you want to be?
I walk the line like Johnny Cash
I made the bus in seconds flat
I called your line too many times
I'm not obsessed just impolite
Sunday came and went so quickly
Now you say you want me back
You will hold on despite my cons
It seems we're meant to hate it being so dependent
But it seems we can believe that we're two peas in this pod
We call New York, gets so lonesome
Are you frightened by neglection?
Am I who you want to see yourself to be?
I walk the line like Johnny Cash
I made the bus in seconds flat
I called your line too many times
I'm not obsessed just impolite
You're stuck on me, you don't know why
Can't leave me anytime you try
They say that everybody cries
So don't think twice 'cause it's alright
Stay here
Touching you, touching the light in your eyes
That keeps coming back
Stay here
Touching you, touching the light in your eyes
That keeps coming back
Stay here
Touching you, touching the light in your eyes
That keeps coming back
Tell I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do
I, tell me I do

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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
"'cause I Like you, maybe I'm just Like You" When I first heard this song on episode 10 of We Need Girlfriends (freaking awesome series on the old youtu') I knew I needed to get a hold of it. "cause I just like you, maybe I just like you." So simple, so true. I like this girl and she likes me and we both know how to make things so complicated. But when it comes down to it maybe I just like her, maybe I just like her. Brilliant.
