Bound up the stairs
I'm in the shower
Do you know I am going to leave you?
Do you know I am going
To leave you?

I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
All our love's flying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can

Tell me about Ray and his girl
Do I know, Ray is going to meet you?
Love you, I do
Stay here, I won't
As stars fade from your eyes

I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
All our love flying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can

One, two
Make it fun
Don't trust
Anyone

One, two
Make it fun
Don't trust
Anyone

I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can...

One, two
Make it fun
Don't trust
Anyone

One, two
Make it fun,
Make it fun,
Make it fun.

    Bound up the stairs I'm in the shower

    • The routine they created is followed. Everyday life is being carried out and there is no hint for the dying man to follow, to realise he is about to be left.

    I'm in love with a dying man.

    • The man she used to love doesn't exist anymore. He's changed to such an extent that the love she used to feel for him is slowly diminishing. The thing that hurts Lana is that she can still see a semblance of who he used to be, what they used to be. He's dying, not completely dead and so he still retains some of his personality and quirks that make it so much harder for Lana to leave this relationship. The pain is thusly dragged out.

    All our love is flying in the sand.

    • Lana is no longer in love and neither is he. The love is flying in the sand means that its flying away, to be dispersed throughout the beach meaning it is no longer concentrated like it used to be. Her love for him is diminishing.

    I've done everything I can.

    • Although Lana has tried her hardest to go back to how she felt, he felt, and how they interacted together, he has done nothing, content to leave their slowly crumbling relationship to be. While she is unhappy, he sees no reason to change, which leads to Lana feeling frustrated and resentful.

    Tell me about Brian and his girl

    • Tell me about other relationships that are better than ours, so we can drown in our jealousy.

    As stars fade from your eyes.

    • The stars, the very thing that made Lana fall in love is leaving the man's eyes, leaving his personality as he is changing into someone else.

    I think it's Ray, not Brian

    She's leaving her lover for an older man. The end.

    My Interpretation

    I'm not knocking anyone else's thoughts, and I'm not sure I have all the lyrics right, but I think this song was meant to have multiple meanings. What I’ve learned from Lana is that she speaks in riddles. That’s why I love her!

    Bound up the stairs, I'm in the shower - 1.) I'm crazy in the head, and I'm crying. 2.)I'm taking a shower upstairs because we just finished making love.

    Don't you know I'm going to leave you? 1.)Your just a one night stand 2.)You can’t promise me forever, and neither can I. Because we all die, and we all sin

    I’m in love with a dying man. 1.) I’m in love with the idea of a perfect man, which is unrealistic. My dream is dying. 2.) We are all dying literally, that is why we can’t promise each other forever, nor can we trust each other because we all have self desires.

    IM IN LOVE LYING IN THE SAND–?- This one is tough. I don’t know what she is saying. Is she saying laying? Lying? Or lying as in telling a lie. When I think about lying down in the sand, it doesn’t sound comfortable. Is she being “layed” in the sand and that’s why she’s loving it? And is she lying to herself? Are they both being dishonest? Very very clever lyrics!

    I have done everything I can 1.) She’s tried hard in the relationship. 2.) She’s tried everything but no matter what, no one will ever be good enough because she can never really trust anyone. That’s why she’s painted this portrait of a “dying man”, because the perfect man isn’t real. And it’s her dreams she feels that are dying.

    Tell me about Ray and his girl 1.) Tell me about that perfect relationship. 2.) Tell me about that perfect man I crave, and his girl who I so want to be me.

    Do I know, Ray is going to meet you 1.) ?? Is Ray the other lover? An example of all her other lovers, and vice versa with the guy she’s in love with. His “so called” friend Ray, is messing around with her. Will he find out?

    Love you I do, stay here I won’t As stars fade from your eyes 1.) I see your losing interest in me as I am too losing interest in you.

    ONE, TWO, Make it fun, Don’t Trust Anyone

    This is the main lyric that gives me the ideas I came up with. It’s pretty simple. It only takes two people to make it “fun”. That’s why she doesn’t trust anyone! Because she feels the same way about commitment as he does.

    It's about alcohol, and how's she is quitting.

    Bound up the stairs I'm in the shower Do you know I am going to leave you? Do you know I am going to leave you?

    I'm in love with a dying man. I'm in love with a dying man. All our love is flying in the sand. I'm in love with a dying man. I'm in love with a dying man. I've done every thing I can.

    Tell me about Brian and his girl Do I know Brian is going to meet you? Love you, I do. Stay here, I won't. As stars fade from your eyes.

    I'm in love with a dying man. I'm in love with a dying man. All our love is flying in the sand. I'm in love with a dying man. I'm in love with a dying man. I've done every thing I can.

    One, two, make it fun. Don't trust anyone. One two, make it fun. Don't trust anyone.

    I'm in love with a dying man. I'm in love with a dying man. I have done every thing I can. I'm in love with a dying man. I'm in love with a dying man. I have done every thing I can.

    One, two, make it fun Don't trust anyone. One, two, make it fun make it fun.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Head > Heels
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.
