When summer began,
the thunderstorms came.
Weren't we made invincible?
The skin that we sleep in,
dreams that we see.
Then everything became unbreakable.
And so in our minds there,
there was more time to,
to make the best of us.
But when we went back to reclaim our lives,
we were denied.
The day had run out of light.

So how will we sleep when,
when they come back,
when they come back to finish us?
And what will it mean when,
when we reach,
when we reach the end of us?
Because when we die there,
there will be more just,
more just like all of us.
And when our ghosts return,
backwards in time to relive our lives,
they might forget what to do.

    Best song ever.

    Maybe not, but it's completely awesome, even if I can't really make sense of it. So come on, someone else do it for me.

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.

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.

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.
