This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You're the nose on my bullet
The trigger on my gun
You're the sandbank in the ocean
Oxygen in my blood
You're the fastest of the fish
You're the prickliest pear
You're a chameleon in the night
You're the sahara's sun glare
You're my mind's rest
You're the strings on my guitar
You're the wax in my moustache
The keys to my car
You're the magical mermaid's hollowed illusion
You cool them, fool them
And they hope so much
And you let them down
And you watch from your rock
And your heart beats fast as you watch their's stop
I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
Only the brave surrender
Death cannot tear us apart
Well my smile is wider
Than your's when we meet
And the winter is colder
For me underneath
And I know that you glow
From the inside out
You can keep it for yourself
And I'll go without
You are the fire and I'm the chimney
You'll burn away and I'll choke on your memory
All the words, my sense, you're the poet to my pen
You're the dream that brings the morning sadness
Start the day storm in my head
Well you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase
You're positively 4th street isolated in my itunes
You're the word in the dictionary that I can't spell
Can't describe, can't put in a sentence but use all the time
Your own pair of trousers look better on me
The boots of spanish leather
And the bottom of the sea
Every symbol of love that doesn't relate to a meaning
Every feeling, every sensation
Only real when I'm dreaming
I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
Only the brave surrender
Death cannot tear us apart
Well I wish we were animals free of loves games
I wish we were snails with really big shells
I wish I was a lion, I'd be king of the wild
I'd command all the beasts to carry you when you're tired
I'm the elephant in the circus
Oh, you're my trainer
You'd never let me go
But if you did I would stay here
In love there is freedom
But it must be returned
There must be sacrifice
Love must be learnt
A donkey, a mule, a lifetime of work
In death he rests his head from his reins
No burden to bare but work left him lame
And the lion on the mountain chased from his pride
His lioness stolen, his rival survives
The sound of his cubs in death are dim
He knows his world well, no pain can defeat him
Wild horses in the wilderness
Will know no journey home
Well my love is locked in chains
The lion walks alone
Oh the lion walks alone
Nature is cruel
But he knows it's his home
He to his demons
And you to your own
Please let me stand by you
And we'll conquer them all
We will conquer them all
Oh I will conquer them all (x3)
The trigger on my gun
You're the sandbank in the ocean
Oxygen in my blood
You're the fastest of the fish
You're the prickliest pear
You're a chameleon in the night
You're the sahara's sun glare
You're my mind's rest
You're the strings on my guitar
You're the wax in my moustache
The keys to my car
You're the magical mermaid's hollowed illusion
You cool them, fool them
And they hope so much
And you let them down
And you watch from your rock
And your heart beats fast as you watch their's stop
I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
Only the brave surrender
Death cannot tear us apart
Well my smile is wider
Than your's when we meet
And the winter is colder
For me underneath
And I know that you glow
From the inside out
You can keep it for yourself
And I'll go without
You are the fire and I'm the chimney
You'll burn away and I'll choke on your memory
All the words, my sense, you're the poet to my pen
You're the dream that brings the morning sadness
Start the day storm in my head
Well you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase
You're positively 4th street isolated in my itunes

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”
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
In my opinion, this is an amazing attempt to describe how one feels about another person when it comes to writing you feeling on paper.
How Am I The First Person to WRITE about this song.????
