@[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.
I have changed, I have changed
Just like you, just like you
For how long, for how long must I wait?
I know there's something wrong
Your concrete heart isn't beating
And I've tried to make it come alive
No shadows, just red lights
Now I'm here to rescue you
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
So silent, no violence
But inside my head so loud and clear
You're screaming, you're screaming
Covered up with a smile I've learned to fear
Just sunshine and blue sky
Is this is all we get for living here?
Come fire, come fire
Let it burn and love come racing through
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I've learned to lose, I've learned to win
I turn my face against the wind
I will move fast, I will move slow
Take me where I have to go
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
Just like you, just like you
For how long, for how long must I wait?
I know there's something wrong
Your concrete heart isn't beating
And I've tried to make it come alive
No shadows, just red lights
Now I'm here to rescue you
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
So silent, no violence
But inside my head so loud and clear
You're screaming, you're screaming
Covered up with a smile I've learned to fear
Just sunshine and blue sky
Is this is all we get for living here?
Come fire, come fire
Let it burn and love come racing through
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I've learned to lose, I've learned to win
I turn my face against the wind
I will move fast, I will move slow
Take me where I have to go
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no

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.
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."

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i think this song is about knowing someone can't love you no matter how hard you try. she sings about still being alive (in love) and apologizing for it, yet she sings about his concrete heart and red lights (sirens) and his (fake) smile she fears because he doesn't truly love her and deep down she knows this, even though she wants him to love her in return. i think the song summarises knowing all this and coming to terms with the truth of the situation and looking to find a way to live with her feelings so she can move on.
I completely agree with that suggestion.
Why so less comments?<br /> I expected every game who has played Mirror's Edge to check this page out.<br /> <br /> Anyways, the lyrics sort of confused me.<br /> <br /> Why is she apologizing, i thought its the guy who shld be apologizing for hurting her and all...
Yes that is one way to look at it... except she is singing about "her" city and how it has changed to such a cold place unlike how it used to be, full of live, and the singer is still alive but her city is dead and she is sad... Play Mirrors Edge(The Game this was made for) for a greater understanding the message of the game in general is that the government has stamped out all criminals in the city but in doing so has crushed the soul of the city itself and you play as a 'Runner' someone who defies the totalitarian government and is always on the edge, The mirrors edge.
