Almost thought we made it home,
But we don't know this place at all,
That's enough now dry your tears
It's been a long eleven years

Fire, fire fire!
Fire from the tongues of liars,
You're ashamed of where you're from,
Crying 'cause your father's drunk
We can't die because we're young
At least that's what we heard in a song

Fire, fire fire!
Fire from the tongues of liars,
Fire, fire fire!
Fire from the tongues of liars

You're ashamed of what you've done,
Crying 'cause your father's wrong
Trying to be something new,
You'll feel that you had something to prove

What you confuse for glorious fire
This fire from the tongues of liars,
What you confuse for glorious fire
Is fire from the tongues of liars

This fire from the tongues of liars
(Fire, fire)
Fire from the tongues of liars
(Fire, fire)
Fire from the tongues of liars

Fire, fire fire!
Fire from the tongues of liars,
Fire, fire fire!
Fire from the tongues of liars)

You're afraid of who you are
Crying 'cause your father's done
Clinging to your youthful truth
You'll find that you've nothing to lose

You'll find that you've nothing to prove

    My Interpretation

    To me this song is about people that have a voice because of fame or have a large amount of support by people somehow. Despite them having authority when they speak, and despite them being listened to, they are not really true people and what they say doesn't represent truth. They have "fire" in their tongues cuz they have a voice that can impact but since what they say isn't true they have "tongues of liars" idk not completely sure on this song meaning - just my take on this song

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
