I'm on the edge of "here" and "no one cares".
I walk a line that is sharp and self-aware.
I live a life that's for nothing, nothing but you.
I feel nothing, nothing but you.

I am the cracks on your spine and in your teeth.
A micro fracture that is cold and hard to see.
A metaphor that is broken, broken and cheap.
I am broken, broken and cheap.

When you're nothing like me, and you're broken like me.
You can stand up and see, when you're nothing, you're clean.
When you're nothing, you're free.

Something's alive in my lungs, it's killing me.
You twist the knife in my side, I start to bleed.
All along you were counting, counting on me.
Now I'm counting, counting to three.

(One, two, three!)

When you're nothing like me, and you're broken like me.
You can stand up and see, when you're nothing, you're clean.
When you're nothing, you're free.

When you're nothing like me, and you're broken like me.
You can stand up and see, when you're nothing, you're clean.
When you're nothing, you're free.
When you're nothing, you're free.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Album art
Blue
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head &gt; 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.
