I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try and talk it over
If you say you'll help me out

Don't worry, baby
No need to fight
Don't worry, baby
We'll be alright

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it, make the beats go harder
Push it, make the beats go harder

I'm sorry that I hurt you
Please don't ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine

Don't worry, baby
Don't be uptight
Don't worry, baby
We'll stay up all night

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it, make the beats go harder
Push it, make the beats go harder

Come on push it, you can do it
Come on prove it, nothing to it
Come on use it, let's get through it
Come on push it, you can do it

Don't worry, baby
Don't be uptight
Don't worry, baby
We'll stay up all night

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it, make the beats go harder
Push it, make the beats go harder (this is the noise that keeps me awake)
My head explodes and my body aches (push it, make the beats go harder)
This is the noise that keeps me awake (push it, make the beats go harder)
My head explodes and my body aches
Don't worry, baby
We'll be alright
Don't worry, baby
We'll be alright

Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it

    Personally I think this song is about having a fight with someone and getting angry, and loving it.

    When she sings the stuff like "Sorry that I hurt you.. etc" she is being sarcastic and patronizing, like you would in a heated argument with someone. And when she sings the chorus "this is the noise that keeps me awake..." she is singing about how much she loves the part when both people crack and go crazy and angry.

    "Push it, make the beats go harder" - Basically, keep pushing me. Make my heart beat faster/harder, I like it. Make me angry. Piss me off.

    Soooo like.. She is singing about how everyone is programmed to be excited by a little action. It's human nature I guess.. So whether you like it or not, everyone likes arguing. Everyone likes being pissed off and pissing others off.

    Maybe that's just from a teenagers point of view..

    Oh well

    Good song.

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 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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
