I'm trying to find a way
So I can keep on searchin' for my own space
Hoping to see the signs I see you there, you there standin'
Holding an open door
Wish I could walk on past it, I want more
Hoping to see the right way
Saying something so I know where the end is
With or without this, feels like it's all just a game
You're standing where I see a solution, you are the problem
Should I go or stay?
Trying to find a way
So I can move my heart
And walk past open doors
Saying something so I know where the end is
With or without the effect of a casualty
You're standing where I see a solution, am I the problem?
Should I go or stay?
Yes I'm trying to find a way
So I can keep on searching for my own space
Hoping to see the signs
I see you there, you there standin'
Holding an open door
Wish I could walk on past it, I want more
Hoping to see the signs
Hoping to feel the right way
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind
I would hold it, I could just pretend
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind
I would hold it, I could just pretend
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind
I just wanna speak my mind
I just wanna speak my, mind
Trying to find a way
So I can keep on searching for my own space
Hoping to see the signs
I see you there standin', was it worth standing?

I see too many open doors
Wish I could walk on past it, but I want more
Hoping to see the right way Wanting to find the way
'Cause I'm trying to find my way

    i think its about having a comfortable life, yet not feeling alive or stimulated. you have to take risks and break lines to grow and appreciate life. step out of your comfort zone

    yeah especially the part "We all wanna feel something But we don't want to change This life is our only life None of this remains But you own your history You own it just like me Friend I wanna know I was alive" Brings the meaning out. The song is beautiful at best.Nevertheless hitting home on the meaning.a good inspiration to change ourselves.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
