Synapse

Bush

I don't mind this
Barefoot again
Just a skin full
What we choose to forget
Thinking you know
Thinking you see all sides
Casting a stone from your hand
Yeah right

Hell is where the heart is
Synapse again
Nothing more I can do
I have not done again

Only worded nothing wrong
Taking a cue from seven days
I bet you never listen
Burning holes in all your clothes

Razorblade suitcase
All the tricks of the trade
Favorite ways you can lose
Favorite ways you can hate

Hell is where the heart is
Synapse again
Nothing more I can do
I haven't done again
I haven't done again

Only worded nothing wrong
Taking a cue for better days
I bet you never listen
Burning holes in all your clothes
Burning holes in all your clothes

Hell is where the heart is
Synapse again
Nothing more I can do
I haven't done again
Hell is where the heart is
Where the heart is
Where the heart is

    This song, which I consider to be the best song of Bush and one of the greatest of all times, is highly underated by non-real-fans. I think this song is about drugs. "casting a stone from your hand" clearly sounds like picking yourself with a heroin or other shit needle. In a way, you get to be stoned from something you cast from your hand... Also, the Razorblade suitcase, is something some high class junkies (really!) use to keep the spoons, needles, pipes, and other stuff they use to get high. Also, it seems Gavin (or the guy in the song) doesn't mind to look like a human rag if the drugs get him to forget the bad things in his life...

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.
