Tad of a minor threat, born out of a sunset,
Been holding the mic for many years and still don't have any guns yet,
Anyone havin' fun yet, my heart beats like a drum set,
Take a look up in the sky and feel the heat that's where I'm from yes,
Take a look around when we startin' the sound,
We're like a public toilet seat man you don't wanna sit down,
And if you come to be yourself original then let it shine,
And if your friends are friends of love then all your friends are friends of mine.

If you come to be yourself original let it shine.
If all your friends are friends of love then they're all friends of mine.
If you come to be yourself original let it shine.
If your friends are friends of love then we're all friends.

Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Why don't ya let yourself,
When ya need yourself,
Why don't ya let yourself shine,
Just let yourself shine, just let it

Well original, we can flow, we test the waters,
Deep or low, temperature set to explode,
Never stop until it's gold, through the fire through the cold,
Over mountains down the road, cities come and cities go,
Movin' individuals.
Well if you seen us then you know we ain't tryin' to be no one,
We just dirty headed kids from the city of the sun,
And I wish that we could stay but it's time for us to shine,
If your friends are friends of love then your friends are friends of mine

If you come to be yourself original let it shine.
If all your friends are friends of love then they're all friends of mine.
If you come to be yourself original let it shine.
If your friends are friends of love then we're all friends.

Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Why don't ya let yourself, when ya need yourself,
Why don't ya let yourself shine, why don't ya let yourself
Why don't ya let yourself shine, why don't ya let yourself
When ya need yourself, why don't ya let yourself shine
Let yourself shine
Let yourself shine
Let yourself shine

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
