[Chorus]
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
The more it will spin the more that I try
To stop my mind flowing
Away away
To all that I despise
Along the way to close my eyes
You can't be let down if you don't expect the world
Expect to lay awake there by your sleeping girl
If somebody cares then there is no way you can tell
Cursed consciousness it's your private hell
[Chorus]
Tick tick tick the clock bludgeons your mind
Endlessly replaying times that were unkind
Go away sun I'm not prepared for you today
It seems you are it seems you are
[Chorus]
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
The more it will spin the more that I try
To stop my mind flowing
Away away
To all that I despise
Along the way to close my eyes
You can't be let down if you don't expect the world
Expect to lay awake there by your sleeping girl
If somebody cares then there is no way you can tell
Cursed consciousness it's your private hell
[Chorus]
Tick tick tick the clock bludgeons your mind
Endlessly replaying times that were unkind
Go away sun I'm not prepared for you today
It seems you are it seems you are
[Chorus]

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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song is all about nicks insomnia...but there are so many parts where you can relate to... "cursed consciousness is your private hell" its soo true... and this song has such a great melody...its sickening
I don't think really this about insomnia. It's about focusing your mind to create a "spin" as you fall asleep in order to "lose" where you were going. I interpret that as an out of body kind of thing. This song is about being able to control the flow of your mind (by not thinking of "all that you despise"). If you can stop you can stop your mind from flowing away from Now, your good.
"Along the way to close my eyes I lost where I was going the more it will spin the more that I try to stop my mind flowing away, away to all that I despise along the way to close my eyes"
The next part is about expecting the world, so you don't ever get let down. Your single, the expect to lay awake by your sleeping dream girl (not doubting it). The last two lines are only to those who have lost their way to the point that they cannot tell when people care about them. It's the cursed consciousness that is Hell. It's in your head.
"You can't be let down if you don't expect the world expect to lay awake and by your sleeping girl if somebody cares then there is no way you can tell cursed consciousness is your private hell"
The chorus really is the best though! And this last one's again about your mind straying away from the moment. And I can see how insomnia can be seen as the meaning of this song, but I think that's just the surface. The sun in the morning represents the day, the now. You may think your not prepared for the sun but you can't avoid it.
"Tick, tick, tick the clock bludgeons your mind endlessly replaying times that were unkind go away sun I'm not prepared for you today it seems you are, it seems you are, huh!"
"Focusing your mind to create a spin as you fall asleep" Awesome. I relate. Nice interpretation.
"You can’t be let down if you don’t expect the world.." is another line I can really relate to...
You're right about the melody being totally infectious...the first time I heard this song I loved it immediately. I couldn't get it out of my head for...well, I'm still trying actually :-)
This is a beautiful song ...
Yeah, this is a pretty nice song
For a fellow insomnia sufferer yeah i can relate to it! lol i love the lyrics, about how his mind is flowing away, its like how i feel too the harder i try the more i can't get to sleep and it drives me insane, anyways 311 has yet to disappont me i love all their songs
i love this song...period.
really nice song..insomnia sucks i think i have it too
insomnia...that's a pain in the ass..u r all right
