@[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.
Is this where the pieces fit? We came along and made a mess of it and you still you remember who's to blame and then she said "I know a man like you, it's hard to heal with your wounds open. It breaks my heart to let you go but let you go I did!"
"My heart's a lot like yours. It hurts when it gets broke and you know I'm not here to build you up cuz you let me down when I needed you the most. My world's a lot like yours. It gets judged for what it's worth and you know I'm not here to make things rough cuz you're not enough I just needed you to bend!"
Meant for me? Who really wants to talk about yesterday. Yesterday's a vacant town. It all fades when no one knows your name. Is what she said really what she said when she said:
"My heart's a lot like yours. It hurts when it gets broke and you know I'm not here to build you up cuz you let me down when I needed you to mend. My world's a lot like yours. It gets judged for what it's worth and you know I'm just here till it gets rough cuz you broke apart when I needed you to bend!"
When all the promises are gone, when all that carries us is wrong, when weak becomes your something strong, I"m lost, I'm found, I'm here, I'm all around.
When something old is something new, when what you borrowed makes you blue, when you have done all you can do, you're getting close, you're getting close!
"My heart is always yours, no matter where you go. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that we wont break no matter how much we bend!"
"My heart's a lot like yours. It hurts when it gets broke and you know I'm not here to build you up cuz you let me down when I needed you the most. My world's a lot like yours. It gets judged for what it's worth and you know I'm not here to make things rough cuz you're not enough I just needed you to bend!"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
After actually talking to Kevin (lead singer) and seeing what an awesome guy he is, I would have a very hard time supporting Evans Blue anymore. I will still listen to and love all of the stuff he wrote and sang, but I just can't support the new stuff. And hearing the new guy sing Kevin's songs just isn't right.
It's too bad the band and kevin could not make things work out. I will still support both but damn they may come to realize that without each other they may not go anywhere.
This song is sort of ironic when you think about it. The band ended up breaking. It did not just bend.
I know am sideing with Kevin. I was just trying to be PC for a while. The new guy is hrorible. I have no problem if they kept playing music but seriously they are not Evans Blue anymore. They should change the name. It's no EB without Kevin.
I mean Kevin wrote the lyrics and the melodies and harmonies.
I think this song is about a girl who is trying to save someone from a terrible heartache but somewhere down the line she realized that he can not be healed. I think...
What album is this anyway?
"The Stage Is Set For The Revival Of An Anthem" it's a shame the album wasn't released, it would have been amazing.
I'm pretty sure Kevin is re-releasing "Bend" on his solo album...
In the first paragraph, it says "you still you remember who's to blame" ... that should be fixed.
