Vulnerable

Vanessa Hudgens

When I think about you and me,
I get a little week in my knees
I feel the flatter of a butterly, and
Sometimes I can hardly breathe
So baby (baby)

Chrous:
Hold me now (Hold me, hold me now)
I can't tell if I'm lost or found
('Cause I'm livin' in a dream, and I don't wanna wake up)
And I don't know how to let you in, or let you go
I'm so vulnerble
Hold me now (Hold me)
Please baby, don't let me down
('Cause I'm livin' in a dream, and I don't wanna wake up)
I know for sure that your love cures

(Coming down to your place cause I love you more
I don't wanna be vulnerable)

When it comes to this book of us,
I think it's time now to turn the page
And I don't wanna say 'I love you' first,
But my heart, it can hardly wait
So baby (Baby)

Chorus

(I don't wanna see yo hurt,
Don't you worry baby girl
Take my hand, understand, I'm afraid
To tell the very words that you wanna hear me say)

When you say it here tonight
Will you mean it for all life?
Will you tell me everything that your heart is really feeling for me,
So I, won't be vulnerble

('Cause I'm livin' in a dream, and I don't wanna wake up)

And I don't know how to let you in, or let you go
I'm so vulnerable
Hold me now (Hold me)
Please baby, don't let me down
('Cause I'm livin' in a dream, and I don't wanna wake up)
I know for sure that your love cures

(Coming down to your place 'cause I love you more,
I don't wanna be vulnareable)

    it is about a girl who is in love with a boy but is afraid to say she loves him because she doesnt know if the boy feels the same way for her. the boy is probably afraid to be committed since the 5th verse basically sums it all up - the boy is afraid to say i love you. not knowing where her place is in his heart, thats why she feels vulnerable.

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
