Heartless At Best

New Found Glory

This smoking gun of a mouth of mine
Has many victims to its name
But this time it was your words that killed me

Right where I was standing, I was hit by lightning
Words of yours went through my chest
And I was pulled apart 'til there was nothing left
Nothing

Everyone will remember me
Only because of how I twist my words around
If anyone gets to this point
Stop yourself from diving in headfirst onto solid ground

The twisted thoughts that come out of your mind
Are heartless at best
They keep you from your own recovery, I know

It takes fun out of living when you have no life
You can't insert, you can't decide
And now you have the guilt of me on your lips, guilty

And everyone will remember me
Only because of how I twist my words around
If anyone gets to this point
Stop yourself from diving in headfirst onto solid ground

And the crowds silent as a whisper
Listen as she recites her scenes
And one by one, with different agendas
They pull out their sympathy

And you're still my living proof
Yeah, you're still my living proof

And everyone will remember me
Only because of how I twist my words around
If anyone gets to this point
Stop yourself from diving in headfirst onto solid
Onto solid ground, onto solid ground

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 Can't Go To Sleep
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.
