I'm broke and burned and my blistered feet
I simple minded person, no I cannot compete
I'm stuck in a rut, I can't get out
I'm overwhelmed with feelings of suffocating doubt
And the darkness comes, it's blinding like the sun
I'm staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
It's time to pull the trigger get over with the wait
And if it's that time, then seal my fate

I'm just waiting for the darker days to pass
Waiting for these restless minds to ask
What're we doing here?

I'm on the ground, I'm six feet deep
I'm walking in a stupor, wake me from this sleep
The darkness has come creeping through the night
I'm too tired to run, I'm too tired to fight
And the buzzards circle slowly as I crawl
Must make it through this night I will not fall
Must make it through this, get out of the dark
I will not die, I will not fall apart

I'm just waiting for the darker days to pass
Waiting for these restless minds to ask
What're we doing here?
I'm just waiting for the darker days to pass
Waiting for these restless minds to ask
What're we doing here?

The demons of my mind overtaking me daily
Thinking what will you do, what will you stand for?
What will you believe in? What kind of darkness will hold you down?
And every day I face these demons head on, through life, through pain, through death
Through everything that has been given to me
Everything I have conquered and everything I left
And I will not fall apart!

I'm just waiting for the darker days to pass
Waiting for these restless minds to ask
What're we doing here?
I'm just waiting for the darker days to pass
Waiting for these restless minds to ask
What're we doing here?

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
