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”
To explain the madness surreal.
To complain of the sadness involved with knowing you.
To forget the revolting thought of going through
The regreat and the healing that I'd have to do.
Through my eyes the sky is pretty and you
Promise you'll join in the flight.
But I can't deny the gritty thought
That you can't take the high.
You can look at this as one big fall.
Life will be both hell and bliss
Or it can be nothing at all.
So I just ask you now to chose.
Don't you think it's worth it, even if you lose?
How do I begin to speak when actions measure true Feelings?
Though your words do leave me weak your movements Always leave me kneeling.
The true test of time is distance but I am not willing to see.
I won't damage with non sense
What actions show is meant to be.
Through my eyes the sky is pretty and you
Promise you'll join in the flight.
But I can't deny the gritty thought
That you can't take the high.
You can look at this as one big fall.
Life will be both hell and bliss
Or it can be nothing at all.
So I just ask you now to chose.
Don't you think it's worth it, even if you lose?
To complain of the sadness involved with knowing you.
To forget the revolting thought of going through
The regreat and the healing that I'd have to do.
Through my eyes the sky is pretty and you
Promise you'll join in the flight.
But I can't deny the gritty thought
That you can't take the high.
You can look at this as one big fall.
Life will be both hell and bliss
Or it can be nothing at all.
So I just ask you now to chose.
Don't you think it's worth it, even if you lose?
How do I begin to speak when actions measure true Feelings?
Though your words do leave me weak your movements Always leave me kneeling.
The true test of time is distance but I am not willing to see.
I won't damage with non sense
What actions show is meant to be.
Through my eyes the sky is pretty and you
Promise you'll join in the flight.
But I can't deny the gritty thought
That you can't take the high.
You can look at this as one big fall.
Life will be both hell and bliss
Or it can be nothing at all.
So I just ask you now to chose.
Don't you think it's worth it, even if you lose?

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think this song is about feeling life is so shitty, so worthless, but when you think about it, it's not so bad. And your relationships w/ people aren't going to be PERFECT, there has to be some bumps in the road... and you don't want it to not work out, but you need to decide whether to take chances. And although it seems like everything in certain relationships suck, and are depressing, there is also good that comes of it-- You have to go through hell, to get the bliss.-- just a theory.
