There right in front of me
My greatest enemy
Should I just turn my back or go all in?
No one would hear me scream
Won't be a pretty scene
So maybe I do best if I just bail

Tired of being me. I'm close to mutiny
I play my cards but there's no way I win
I'm breaking out of here, failing to disappear
A lackadaisical attempt to hide

I'm trying to be strong and brave
But to tell the truth I'm bleeding inside
I'm lying to myself I'm fine
But to tell the truth I'm way out of line

I try so desperately to hide my misery
I'm just a puppet
But with chains for strings
Am I the only one left in this stupid town?
DAMMIT! No one seems to care at all

I'm trying to be strong and brave
But to tell the truth I'm bleeding inside
I'm lying to myself I'm fine
But to tell the truth I'm way out of line

I'm trying!

I'm my own worst enemy

There right in front of me
My greatest enemy
Should I just turn my back or go all in?

I'm trying to be strong and brave
But to tell the truth I'm bleeding inside
I'm lying to myself I'm fine
But to tell the truth I'm way out of line

I'm trying to be strong and brave
But to tell the truth I'm bleeding inside
I'm lying to myself I'm fine
But to tell the truth I'm way out of line

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.

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.

Amazing
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.
