Of course we're miles away from home
We sink like stones
And we're lost beneath the waves
Not a trace to mark the graves
Lost and tired and chained of course
Of course we plan the great escape
We drag our fate around the razor wire
But our fear keeps us in line

Turn me inside out this time
Looking back, the place that I come from
Disappeared
Turn my face to the place where I go
Into the sun
Disappear into the sun

Lost and tired and chained I know
I know what sleeps inside my heart
There's a path that starts
With a single step at dawn
Though the road goes on and on

Turn me inside out this time
Looking back, the place that I come from
Disappeared
Turn my face to the place where I go
Into the sun
Disappear into the sun

And now the time has come for me
I must break free from the prison I have made
And to face the way ahead

Turn me inside out this time
Looking back, the place that I come from
Disappeared
Turn my face to the place where I go
Into the sun
Into the sun
Disappear into the sun

    This is such an awesome song, and I believe Disappear to be about someone who is "lost and tired" in a world of depression and seeks to "break free." The overall tone and lyrics just seem to highly suggest it.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
