Look around, the writing's on the wall
Don't you think we're all feeling crazed
In a world, where nothing's as it seems
Paved with broken dreams, I found truth
My God, I should know you're right
I should know it's right to say I thank you for my days

Come around and see the other side
Stepping stones, away from the limelight
Come around and breathe in piece of mind
And for it all, I thank you. I thank you.

Sit down, lose yourself in thought
Then you might find out it's all we've got
Take a chance, the future's in your hands
Make it what you can before your time has reached the end

Come around and see the other side
Stepping stones, away from the limelight
Come around and breathe in piece of mind
And for it all, I thank you. I thank you.

Come around and see the other side
Stepping stones, away from the limelight
Come around, and breathe in piece of mind
And for it all
You'll make it on your own
Yeah, you're free
Stepping stones away from the limelight
Come around and breathe in piece of mind
And for it all I thank you, I thank you, I thank you,
I thank you

    To me it sounds like a conversion to religion, and suggesting to other people that they should give it a chance.

    the song is a general thank you to all the people who supported the calling over the years.

    "My God, I should know you're right I should know it's right to say I think you for my days"

    He believes in God!....

    He's thanking Him, and telling ppl how good it gets when u know and belive God is right...

    I think that makes sense...

    I agree with Myhit&run. Belief and faith and love for God is contagious. He just wants to share it with everyone.

    I agree with the religious interpretation. Just makes sense considering the "My God, I should know You're right. I should know it's right to thank You for my days" line. I love The Calling I hope they do another album as good as Camino Palmero in the future.

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Head > Heels
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.
