Me, I'm A Thief

Sarah Slean

here comes again
blood in the vein
seven a.m the cars come
gotta fly
gotta say goodbye
leave them before they leave me

turning the sheets
rolling in his sleep
he wants me to go faster
I know that she's
somewhere underneath
but I don't know how to find her

me, I'm a thief
I'm a falling star
I'm a photograph taken
from where you are

I love you still, always will
here's hoping you'll be waiting but I
gotta fly
gotta say goodbye
gotta find out what's aching

me, I'm a thief
I'm a falling star
I'm a photograph taken
from where you are

Shed your tears
that's what they're for
I don't expect you to understand this war

I go quietly
no you don't get me
no you don't get me

and oh they beg me to steal
there's nothing, nothing to feel
and oh they beg me steal

    i think this song is about being in a relationship when you've got personal issues and soul searching to do, so you can't probably give to the relationship, so all you do is take (ie, "me, i'm a thief"). i also see this in lines like where it says "i know that she's somewhere underneath but i don't know how to find her" and "i don't expect you to understand this war". so it's just about not being able to give what you take from someone

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.

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.

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 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.
