As the rain comes down I wonder
If I've ever been this low
And as I try to find the answer
To why I feel this way it shows
That I can't be without you
I won't deny it, you're always in my head
In my head

Every time I close my eyes
all that I can see is you
and I can't get you off my mind
I guess I'm always stuck with you
and every time I close my eyes
all that I can see is you
it won't leave me

As the rain pours down I wonder
If I'll ever be the same
Will I ever find some peace of mind
or slowly go insane
'Cause even though you're a thousand miles away
you're always in my head
in my head

Every time I close my eyes,
all that I can see is you
And I can't get you off my mind
I guess I'm always stuck with you
And every time I close my eyes
all that I can see is you
In my head

And now when everything is wasted, it's wasted
It seems impossible to make it, to fake it

Every time I close my eyes
all that I can see is you
And I can't get you off my mind
I guess I'm always stuck with you
And every time I close my eyes
all that I can see is you
'Cause I can't get you off my mind
I guess I'm always stuck with you
In my head

As the rain comes down I wonder
If I've ever been this low

    No one's commented on this song yet. Well, it's an Okay song. it's not great, but it doesn't suck. But the lyrics are awesum because they're so true. they remind me of my bf, who i only see about 1 time a week because we don't go to the same school. Prime STH is a GREAT band. I started liking them when "I'm Stupid" became a single. Why are they still underground?! they deserve to go mainstream!!!!

    I don't like when bands go mainstream though. I kinda like only a few people knowing about them. It's more fun that way!

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
