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”
Rosaries
Left under the mattress of the memories
Who could bear the witness
As you slip into oblivion,
Use it like a weapon
Am I left to bleed
Waiting for the moment when you've had your fun
A loaded gun
Take away your broken misery,
I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Everything I gave is wasted,
I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Can't resist poisoning the message
Just a narcissist trapped inside the wreckage
And the sympathy I had is gone
Deadened by the ceremony
Drama queen,
Stand behind your empire
As your kingdom falls, all because
Take away your broken misery,
I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted,
I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Your rescue, my undo
I'm not the one to save you
I'm empty completely
I'm drowning in your shadow
Take away your broken misery,
I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted,
I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of
Cant chase away your ghost,
Inside it only grows
Nothing left but misery
This will be the end of me
All the shit that you created,
All the scars you celebrated
Couldn't take away your pain
Couldn't resurrect your gain
This love will be the end of me,
This love will be the end.
Left under the mattress of the memories
Who could bear the witness
As you slip into oblivion,
Use it like a weapon
Am I left to bleed
Waiting for the moment when you've had your fun
A loaded gun
Take away your broken misery,
I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Everything I gave is wasted,
I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Can't resist poisoning the message
Just a narcissist trapped inside the wreckage
And the sympathy I had is gone
Deadened by the ceremony
Drama queen,
Stand behind your empire
As your kingdom falls, all because
Take away your broken misery,
I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted,
I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Your rescue, my undo
I'm not the one to save you
I'm empty completely
I'm drowning in your shadow
Take away your broken misery,
I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted,
I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of
Cant chase away your ghost,
Inside it only grows
Nothing left but misery
This will be the end of me
All the shit that you created,
All the scars you celebrated
Couldn't take away your pain
Couldn't resurrect your gain
This love will be the end of me,
This love will be the end.

@[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

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
I can't believe nobody has commented yet...I love this song!!
Also, as far as lyrics are concerned, I believe it's "I can't wait to erase your memory" instead of "I dont want to waste your memory"
Also...for an interpretation on the lyrics, my impression is that it's about him getting out of a past relationship. Sounds like the person was pretty much no good and basically didn't care or kind of played him. Now he wants nothing to do with them and wants to "erase their memory" as he has to live with what they did to him.
