This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
And you might think the end is on the brink.
And now I believe in something I believe, or not.
And all I do is sit and pity you
When I should be laughing at the things I haven't got.
Now I don't know how I'm a chameleon now.
You hate me? Take me.
All I wanted was to come back down.
You need me? Keep me.
Leave me haunted by what I burned down.
And all this time, I leave you here behind.
And now I believe in something I believe, or not.
And all I do is sit and pity you
When I should be laughing at the things I haven't got.
Now I don't know how I'm a chameleon now.
You hate me? Take me.
All I wanted was to come back down.
You need me? Keep me.
Keep me haunted by what I burned down.
You hate me? Take me.
All I wanted was to come back down.
You need me? Keep me.
Keep me haunted by what I burned down.
What could I do?
What more could I do?
What more could I do?
What more could I do?
What more could I do?
What more could I do?
What more could I do
To you to never lose the things I haven't yet?
And now I believe in something I believe, or not.
And all I do is sit and pity you
When I should be laughing at the things I haven't got.
Now I don't know how I'm a chameleon now.
You hate me? Take me.
All I wanted was to come back down.
You need me? Keep me.
Leave me haunted by what I burned down.
And all this time, I leave you here behind.
And now I believe in something I believe, or not.
And all I do is sit and pity you
When I should be laughing at the things I haven't got.
Now I don't know how I'm a chameleon now.
You hate me? Take me.
All I wanted was to come back down.
You need me? Keep me.
Keep me haunted by what I burned down.
You hate me? Take me.
All I wanted was to come back down.
You need me? Keep me.
Keep me haunted by what I burned down.
What could I do?
What more could I do?
What more could I do?
What more could I do?
What more could I do?
What more could I do?
What more could I do
To you to never lose the things I haven't yet?

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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 hope I got all the lyrics right. The only version out there is from a demo tape from 1998, so the quality is awful.
they all seem rite, even down to that last line<br /> or they at least sound like what I hear when I listen to this song<br /> either way, great job ^_^<br /> thank you for posting these lyrics
You definitely have most of the lyrics right. I was always hesitant on adding this song when I first heard it because I could never make out the line that you have the chameleon stuff for (which I still don't believe is right). Here's what I came up with back when I was trying to figure them out. It's mostly the same other than the chorus:<br /> <br /> "And you might think the end is on the brink. <br /> And now I believe in something I believe in I.<br /> And all I do is sit and pity you--<br /> when I shouldn't be laughing at the things I haven't got.<br /> <br /> Now I don't know how ???<br /> Hate me. Date me. All I wanted was to come back down.<br /> You need me. Defeat me. Leave me haunted by what I've burnt down.<br /> <br /> And all this time I leave you here behind.<br /> And now I believe in something I believe in I.<br /> And all I do is sit and pity you--<br /> when I shouldn't be laughing at the things I haven't got.<br /> <br /> Now I don't know how ???<br /> Hate me. Date me. All I wanted was to come back down.<br /> You need me. Defeat me. Leave me haunted by what I've burnt down--I've burnt down. <br /> Yeah...<br /> <br /> You hate me. Date me. All I wanted was to come back down--come back down.<br /> You need me. Defeat me. And leave me haunted by what I've burnt down--I've burnt down.<br /> Yeah.<br /> <br /> What more could I do?<br /> <br /> What more could I do?<br /> What more could I do?<br /> What more could I do?<br /> What more could I do?!<br /> What more could I do?<br /> What more could I do to you and never lose the things I haven't yet?"
Actually, I'm listening to it right now and at the end of the first verse, it sounds like "Now I don't know how. I'm not that ???," but the second time it comes up, the "I'm not that" doesn't sound quite the same.
I love this song because it's so untouched. It's a real, unadulterated Breaking Benjamin song. Whenever it comes on, I just smile. I can't help it.
To me, it's about having walked away from something but still being able to come back to it. In the mix, there's anger "you hate me? take me." and confusion "you need me? keep me. leave me haunted by what i burned down." in that one line, he says "keep me," followed by "leave me," showing that things may keep going back and forth. I feel like everyone likes to equate BB's songs to drugs or relationships, but I feel like this one could have been just based on a friendship that was falling apart. He just didn't care enough to repair it, which lead to a chaotic, semi-destroyed friendship And that's the point where the song is written. He ends by saying he hasn't ruined it all yet, knows he very well could, but also doesn't know what to do in general, with the line "what more could I do, to you, to lose the things that I haven't yet?"
I just love this song so much. It's interesting. It's pure.
But that's just my two cents ^_^
Honestly I've never heard this song, but I've heard it's excellent and breaking benjamin is an amazing band \m/
p.s. just listened to it and I was surprised to hear how they sounded in 98 omg amazing
