I'm just a person like you
I'm just a fuck up that's true
but your the only one I'll turn to by my side
everyday and night its time to climb out of this big black hole
even if i can justify that i'm alive and alright
you're still the only one i'll turn to by my side
everyday and night its time to climb out of this big black hole

sooo i cry alone
sooo i cry alone
i can't believe you dragged me downnn...againnn

just when i think that i'm fine
i only then just realised that i'm the only one to turn to me inside

everyday and night its time to climb out of this big black hole...
sooo i cry alone
sooo i cry alone
i can't believe you dragged me downnn...againnn

soo i cry alone
sooo i cry alone
i can't believe you dragged me downnn...for goooood

i'm just a person like you
i'm just a fuck up like you
i'm just a person like you
i'm just a fuck uppp
i'm just a person like you
i'm just a fuck up like you
i'm just a person like you
i'm just a FUCK UP!

sooo i cry alone [just a person]
sooo i cry alone [just a fuck up]
i can't believe you dragged me downnn...for gooooood {x2}

    DAMN STRAIGHT! God damn Taproot hits home with me. I'm always thinking that I'm finally gonna get out of feeling so shitty in my life and I think things are getting better, then BAM!, she drags me right back down again, and I cry alone.

    I like this song. Its AWESOME! but its a bit selfish... cause i don't think that the person hes turning to is really dragging him down... its himself. kinda twisted.

    it's basically how the only person he can ever turn to for help never turns to him. "i'm the only one to turn to me inside" so he feels unimportant and decides not to turn to that person, and just crys alone instead. in a way he really is dragging himself down, but in his eyes its his friend who is probably sick of his complaining.

    who hasn't been in that type of situation before.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.

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.
