It feels so pointless is anyone there?
Where is your faith that keeps you moving?

Who decides how far we go
Who walks behind us in case we trip over the smallest crack.

Am I unworthy,
These things can only be said so many times before they become our fears
I find myself swimming farther than I ever planned to go out in this lost ocean
Perfection will never over power us.

Don't hide from the light they can't burn bright forever.
I find myself swimming farther than I ever planned to go out in this lost ocean
I still feel hate reaching out to save me its deep down OH but it's there.

    From the book.

    It feels so pointless Is anyone there Where is your faith That keeps you moving Who decides how far we go Who walks behind us incase we Trip over, the smallest crack

    Am I Unworthy? These things can only be said so many times Before they become our fears

    And I find myself swimming farther, Than I ever planned to go Out in this lost ocean, this lost ocean

    Perfection will never over power us, Perfection will never over power us,

    Don't hide from the light They can't burn bright forever

    And I find myself swimming farther, Than I ever planned to go Out in this lost ocean, Ocean

    I still feel hate reaching out to save me. It's deep down oh but it's there.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
