I go dancing on the ceiling sometimes
It's always fun but I get scared of the climb
Will you catch my fall, catch my fall

The notes I play put a stain on my heart
Some songs I hate some I hate even more
I act a fool, am I the fool

So tell me Eric does it hurt, hurt? (uh-huh)
So tell me Eric does it hurt? (not at all!)

I'm killing life like a one way ticket to hell
I'm on a high going down, down, down
I wanna wipe that sad sad feeling away
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

The words I sing burn my throat as they leave
Desperate measures for these times are in need
Do you feel the same, it's such a shame

So tell me Eric does it hurt, hurt? (uh-huh)
So tell me Eric does it hurt? (not at all!)

I'm killing life like a one way ticket to hell
I'm on a high going down, down, down
I wanna wipe that sad sad feeling away
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

We are not
Ordinary things

I wanna play it
A little bit louder now, a little bit louder now
A little bit louder now
A little bit louder now

I'm killing life like a one way ticket to hell
I'm on a high going down, down, down
I wanna wipe that sad sad feeling away
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

    Song Meaning

    This song is about The Columbine High Massacre. The Eric refers to Eric Harris one of the two gunmen who committed mass murder at their high school on April 20 1999. It references the high he and his companion felt whilst acting out their desires and disturbed thoughts due to the constant bullying and berating they felt. Dylan Klebold, the other gunman, was said to be ecstatic during the crime. Both young men committed suicide after murdering 12 pupils and 1 teacher. The end of the song describes how Eric continued to feel sad and down despite finally 'getting revenge for years of torture'. When they finished the mass killing, Eric accepted death willingly, yet Dylan enjoyed himself just a little bit longer before joining Eric in death.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

“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 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.
