Quit
If you're through with it
You are gonna make me sick
Sitting their with your hands in your hair
Quit
If you're through with it
You are gonna make me sick
No one cares who you carried to get here
Quit
In a quiet murmur of spit
Cash it in with a whisper of wit
Haven't you seen them
Loving your commitment
The show of a man who feigns
A love that I love
Now I said it
So by the time you come to
We'll know just what to do
We'll be singing and dancing
For the death of romancing
Yeah I have finally found her
Yeah show me where it hurts
Quit
Here's your punishment
You had the best that you will ever see
You wasted it
Now she sees the good in me
Quit
We could talk for hours and hours about you
But we don't
What good could that possibly do
So by the time you come to
She finally forgot you
We'll be singing and dancing
Our rebirth of romancing
Yeah she has finally found me
Yeah I'll show you where it hurts
You won't hear me breathe
I sleep so soundly
Hear me
Stepping over heads to get ahead
At that rate you will surely get your due
But you'll have to wait around
Until you are dead
You won't hear us breathe
We sleep so soundly
Your lost love and me
We're not listening
(so how does that feel now
Cut the power to the amplifier
Cut the cord to the generator
Break every living mirror
In your ever-elevator
On paper you hate her
But to her face you're a savior)
Pu my headphones on
And you'll all be gone

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
