This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Can't help but wonder about what's underneath these city streets
The wires and cables tangled up connecting everything
And down below we'll find the bones of people from the past
People with dreams about the future
And when we die our empty bodies turn to dust
Ther'll be no pit of fire
No angels singing songs for us
There's nothing we can say that people won't forget someday
There's nothing we can do that matters
That's okay
Just when you think you've got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put you in the ground
Just when I think I've got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put me in the ground
(Just when I think I've got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put me in the ground)x2 speed
Ain't got much faith in god or modern-day mythology
The lies and fables, fate and luck, directing everything
So down we go down like dominoes, our lives go by too fast
Nobody lives to see the future
And when we die, buildings and bridges left to rust
No heaven in the sky, no pearly gates on clouds and stuff
The monuments will crumble and decay someday
There's nothing we can do that matters
Just when you think you've got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put you in the ground
Just when I think I've got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put me in the ground
The Future
Hey!
I wanna laugh as many times
As I can
Before I die
I wanna love
I wanna smile
I don't need much
I'm a simple child
I wanna laugh as many times
As I can
Before I die
I wanna love
I wanna smile
Just wanna fuck
Every once in a while
I just wanna fuck every once in a while
I think I finally got it all worked out
Somebody come and put me in the ground
I think I finally got it all worked out
Somebody come and put me in the ground
Can't help but wonder about what's underneath these city streets
The wires and cables tangled up connecting everything
The wires and cables tangled up connecting everything
And down below we'll find the bones of people from the past
People with dreams about the future
And when we die our empty bodies turn to dust
Ther'll be no pit of fire
No angels singing songs for us
There's nothing we can say that people won't forget someday
There's nothing we can do that matters
That's okay
Just when you think you've got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put you in the ground
Just when I think I've got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put me in the ground
(Just when I think I've got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put me in the ground)x2 speed
Ain't got much faith in god or modern-day mythology

The monuments will crumble and decay someday
There's nothing we can do that matters

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
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

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.
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.
Whaaat no comments on this amazing song?
I love this whole album, but this song is my favorite. The message is so perfect. Live your life as fully as you can, because you never know when it will end and it's the only one you're going to get.
