Today is the perfect day to die
'Cause it's just the same as any other day of my pathetic so called life
It's getting colder, I can see the world through my window
Angels raining with tears that pour like a river from the sky

A waltz with silence in scarlet snow
Dance along with beautiful fall leaves covered in my own blood
Watch them burn black like those empty nights without a star in sight
They'll hit the cold ground and shatter all what's left of nothing that I have...

I'll crucify
Frail promises that plague my mind
While choking, dying on placebos
This world feeds me
I don't wanna go...
not yet...
not like this...

The sparkles in your eyes
Have drowned and washed away
Don't waste your tears on me
I am not worth all of the pain...

When all the tears dry, I'll be gone
Your eyes adjust, now please move on
Why are you still waiting for me?

Your gaze is so empty
Missing what completes you
Where did that something go...?

    this is a beautiful song. i love when the guy starts screaming and the girl is singing hauntingly in the background. too bad the rest of their songs are more poppy--this sound works really well for them. it's also too bad they broke up....

    Yeah. This song sounds very beautiful. I listen to it constantly. I really relate to it too. I get a lamented despair from this song that I feel is in my life. Lost North Star made great music. Sucks they broke up.

    Great song. Great band. Such a lamented song, I love it. The screaming and angelic female vocals is very well intertwined. I wish they didn't break up :( I relate to this song. My life is empty.

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.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
