Forget my jealously
You swallowed the demons on your own
There's nothing left for me
I keep thinking back to when you said
We own the night

Stomp that feeling your puke is a mutant
Can't think of who did this, well I grew stupid
Say accidents happen, it's admirable acting
Flicking the back of your ear with my finger

Separate is the way though, no second is the place though
Just fake it through the day and the night is your god
See you in battle your boat is my paddle
Your life is my business your plaque on my wall

Let your hair down have one more round
Drink til you believe it
Sloppy kisses, dirty wishes
Baby, this is living
Roller-coaster
Up and down in random motion
Oh come in closer
Ditch your problems, better days are coming

Get up off the wall come on get down get down
Give into moment and live now live now
Get up off the wall come on get down get down
Give into the moment, feel it now

I have the heart of a coward
Here in my arms is exactly where I want you
We own the night

Stomp that feeling your puke is a mutant
Can't think of who did this, well I grew stupid
Say accidents happen, it's admirable acting
Flicking the back of your ear with my finger

Separate is the way though, no second is the place though
Just fake it through the day and the night is your god
See you in battle your boat is my paddle
Your life is my business your plaque on my wall

You'll forget I'm wrong

Call your phone and open my fate
'Cause I know you're so connected
I need poison mitigate my pain
Feel my toes go golden up in flames
Give me false hope in my veins
Tranquilize and modify my brain

Where did I go wrong?
There's nothing I can do the thrill is gone
So I play these nervous songs
Pretend that I'm not barely hanging on

And medicate
Medicate
Medicate me all night long
Medicate
Medicate
Medicate me all night long

I run quickly out of air, by the way I hate your celebration
I run quickly out of air, by the way I hate our aging faces

    My Opinion

    This song is so amazing. Not just the music, but the lyrics are also really great. This is one of the few songs I've heard in which they're not so volatile and dark, but even at that, it's really good. If you haven't heard this song, I recommend it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.
