Like Christ

The Essence

I walk into an open field
My eyes run-down and my feet just torture
Me somehow, me somehow
You hold my hand, and I touch your face
I've never tasted your lips like this
Always down upon mine, down upon mine

You hold me up like Christ you say
And every word you say I simply
Adore your eyes, adorable eyes
And every word you scream is true
My mouth just never touches your
Adorable eyes, adorable eyes

All the vows that you made you stay for
Always and always
No one ever tried to doubt your
Own words, own words

I walk into an open field
You've never stroked your hair as you are
Stroking it now, stroking it now
I've never seen this hair before
My eyes just shattered
The sun strikes down upon
Your blue eyes, your true eyes

I've never touched your face once more
I've never even drawn your pure and childlike youth
I doubt if you
Have seen me kneeling down, I crawl
At your feet, I have no doubt at
All no more, all no more

I move into another world for
Always and always
I've never run so fast again
I stare upon, stare upon those eyes
A thousand eyes
I stare at your eyes somehow
Ice somehow

I walk into an open field
My eyes run-down and my feet just torture
Me somehow, me somehow
You fall into my arms again
I'm begging you to stay
I touch your hand and I cry, I cry

You hold me up like Christ you say
You never leave me again and you will
Promise to stay, you'll promise to stay
Tonight

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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”

Blue
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.
