Oh-ho
Oh-ho

Can you see what's in my bag,
Through the context and haziness of your laws,
Always searching for your red flag,
Before your uniform is just bandages and gauze,

One step behinds me,
And you're telling me to freeze,
Two steps behind me,
And it's please baby please,

Moving through security,
I'm picking out a mystery girlfriend,
She's full of impurities but I'm picking up the gamma rays she sends,
It's just insecurity,
It's just insecurity,
It's just insecurity,
Because I secretly want to be her,

Now will you raise the threat level,
Will every suit case turn into a dirty bomb,
No! You're just another white devil,
But you look so good and you bedevil with aplomb,

One step behind me,
And you're pulling me aside,
Two steps behind me,
And you spread me open wide,

Moving through security,
I never want this interrogation to end,
It's just insecurity,
It's just insecurity,
It's just insecurity,
Because I secretly want to be her,

I packed my bags myself,
I didn't accept any strange packages,
Run a fine, I don't mind,
Standing in your light,

Oh-oh oh-oh,
Now you're alerting your superiors,
You're doing everything to keep me off this bird,
If you examine my interiors,
You better be prepared to be at a lost for words,

One hand inside me,
Coming out the other end,
Two hands inside me,
And I'm making a new friend,

Moving through security,
I'm picking out a mystery girlfriend,
She moves with assurity,
And I never want this interrogation to end,
It's just insecurity,
It's just insecurity,
It's just insecurity,
It's just insecurity,
It's just insecurity,
Because I secretly want to be her,

    "Track 4 on Moving Through Security is......"Moving Through Security" !!!!!!! Yes, a title track!!! A rousing pop nugget soaking in trance sensibilities, with a dash of Thompson Twins. It is the tale of a lonely man at the airport hoping to get a free body cavity search from one of those TSA bitches."

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.

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.

Amazing
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.
