Stay Home

Self

I believe in self-assertion
Destiny or slight diversion
Now it seems I've got my head on straight
I'm a freak, an abberation

Seems I've made the right decision
Try to turn back now, it might be too late
And it's up to the morning then back again
Same old day, same situation
The happiness rears back as if to say

I want to stay home today (don't want to go out)
If any one comes to play (gonna get thrown out)
I want to stay home today (don't want no company, no way)
Yeah yeah yeah

A simple life's my cup of tea
I don't need nobody but me
What I wouldn't give just to be left alone
I want to be a millionaire someday

And know what it feels like to give it away
Watch me march to the beat of my own drum

And it's over and over and over again
Same old day, same situation
The happiness rears back as if to say

I want to stay home today (don't want to go out)
If any one comes my way (gonna get thrown out)
I want to stay home today (don't want no company no way)
Yeah yeah yeah

Frayin' rain every day now
Everyone just stay away now

[Repeat: x2]
Come another day

[Repeat: x3]
I want to stay home today

I want to stay home (don't want to go out)
If any one comes to play (gonna get thrown out)
I want to stay home today (don't want no company no way)
Yeah yeah yeah

I want to stay home (don't want to go out)
If any one comes my way (gonna get thrown out)
I want to stay home today (don't want no company no way)
Yeah yeah yeah

    Love this song too; it's so catchy! The meaning is fairly straight forward too. So far the only song I know of theirs.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
