Comfort Far Away

Conditions

Nowhere to go as the day comes to a close
Here's where I fear I am losing all control
I stay in this town where I've wasted countless days
As I close my eyes I feel comfort far away

When I sleep, when I dream
Does somebody take control of me?
When I sleep, when I dream
Does someone else take control of my body?

I wake the next day and I see I haven't moved
All that I saw, just a fabricated truth
It's hard not to feel like a hollow human shell
And she's next to me. Have I wasted her as well?

When I sleep, when I dream
Does somebody take control of me?
When I sleep, when I dream
Does someone else take control of my body?

When I sleep, when I dream
If someone else takes control of me
Show me I'm capable of great things
Tell me I haven't wasted my body

Help me out, allow me to truly exist
Guide me out, 'cause I know I'm better than this

    This one is fairly self-explanatory.

    The person is trying to live with the decisions he's made and he fears he has "wasted her as well"

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
