It's only self rejection
With a mean left
Cold carbon copied coping
And it's mean theft
That's been left behind

Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax the shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you beg you

Waste life when youth is sweeter
Neater content with contents
Cultures cringing at accents
And it's too tense camp out

She tastes the candy sugarless cancerous
Crave cocaine cop shows
I'll beg you, beg you

But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me

But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same

Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax the shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you, beg you

    such a great song =) so sad tho..its about when u go on medcation everything feels the same..and its confussing a lot of his fears...daniel thinks that he sounds really nervous in the track but i can't tell..maybe its only because i'm a silly american and i can't tell the difference cuz of his accents (which i don't cringe but happen to find very cute =) )

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
