This world has taken me by storm,
It makes me feel like running,
This place is making me
Transform until i feel like nothing.

It the strength in you and me
That surrounds everything,
The way you look out for me,
The way you burn.

[Chorus]
It's the flame, in all of us,
The same, that makes us feel this,
Flame, in all of us, the same,
That makes us feel it.

We are the youth, of yesterday,
We've brought you pain and sorrow,
That's what they say, but
They paved the way we are the new tomorrow,

It's the strength in you and me
That surrounds everything,
The way you look out for me,
The way you burn.

[Chorus: x 2]

It's the flame in all of us that makes,
The change in all of us,
That takes, the blame in all of us,
And still keeps it alive.

    I think its about determination and that no matter what happens, you must have the strength to go on. Trevor realises that god is trying to help him out here, and he shows appreciation for that.

    anyone agree?

    I think you are right in that God is fighting for us. But as to what the flame is that is in all of us, (I'm assuming he's referring to christians here) the first thing that came to my mind was the Holy Spirit that sustains us and in a sense, keeps us running. God is looking out for us by sending his helper who transforms us into new people. It's that flame that keeps us alive in Christ. I guess I thought of this first because of Pentecost. Makes sense, but there's always more than one way to interpret art.

    Also, some of the lyrics are wrong in the above post.

    This world has taken me by storm, it makes me feel like running, this place is making me transform until i feel like nothing. It the strength in you and me... that surrounds everything, The way you look out for me, The way you burn.

    It's the flame, in all of us, the same, that makes us feel this, falme, in all of us, the sae, that makes us feel it.

    It's the flame, in all of us, the same, that makes us feel this, flame, in all of us, the same, that makes us, it's the flame, in all of us, the same, that makes us feel, this, flame,in all of us, te same, that makes us feel it

    In an interview Trevor said that it also refers to that fact that even though TFK ministers on the hard rock platform they're still a ministry. They don't sing worships songs like Casting Crowns but they still have the same passion or flame in their hearts.

    You know, the Holy Spirit is a He, not an 'it'. I agree with all of you, but Trevor should have written "He's the flame in all of us" or "You're the flame in all of us" Not that I'm being pedantic or anything.

    My Interpretation

    I think the second verse is about baby boomers that bitch about millennials yet fail to realize they brought about most of the problems in recent memory and that millennials will be the ones to clean up their mess.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
