This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Where you gonna be when your cells divide?
They're coming and you've got no place to hide
You better listen to the beautiful girl inside
who wants her face cuts
Face cuts
Just enough to survive
Will you do whatever it takes to stay in the show?
Cause right now you've got a face for radio
I don't want to be the one to let you go
But I'll surely leave you behind
Picture yourself in Tinseltown
Lights are flashing, applause is loud
waving to the throngs of adoring crowds
who want your face cuts
face cuts
Just a touch of your life
Anything worth having, girl
is never free
Cause I look down on you
Looking up at me
Now you're going under for your surgery
Well I'll be right there by your side
You can be a shining star in the TV sky
OR maybe do a little twinkling in the movies (oh my!)
You'll be reaching for the brightest light
Tonight
Inside of an oyster is a beautiful pearl
And it saddens me that you weren't long for this world
But I'll still be on the lookout for the perfect girl
Who gets her face cut
Face cuts
A face that cuts through the night
And when I make all of my money you'll be on my mind
It was the hardest thing for me
to leave you behind
It's a good thing that young suckahs are easy to find
cause I'm running out of time
You can be a shining star in the TV sky
OR maybe do a little twinkling in the movies (oh my!)
You'll be reaching for the brightest light

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.

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
Clearly about the superficiality of the film/tv world and the media that promote it.
A girl is lured into having cosmetic surgery by a two-faced being (the media), who swiftly abandon her and look for their next target after something goes wrong. (It is written as though she dies, but I imagine the surgery just goes wrong.)
One of the best songs on 'Flashy' by far.
