You hate my face but now I look
You're gonna change me
A lashing from your tongue and now
You're gonna scorn me

You taste my blood, my cut, my skin
And now you want me
You hate my face but now I look
I think you changed me

Balls that pokken are whip lashed
Easily bitten within one ply

Release me
Release me

My time to fall
My face lays down
The ground where I once walked
No time to fall

My massive shield, my beating till
You try and fleck me
Cry with shame my eyes are scorn
And then you dump me

Easily bitten within one ply

Release me
Release me

My time to fall
And my face lays down
The ground where I once walked

No time to fall
And my faith lays down
The ground where I've been lost

Fall
I stare at my life again
I'm
I'm scared of my life again
Scared of my life again

I
I stare at my life again
Stare at my life again
I'm
I'm scared of my life again

My time to fall
And my face lays down
The ground that I once walked

My time to fall
And my faith lays down
The ground where I've been lost

My time to fall
And my fame lays down
No time at all

Fall
I stare at my life again
I'm
I'm scared of my life again
Scared of my life again

I, I, I'm
I'm scared of my life again
Scared of my life again
I'm
I'm scared of my life again
Scared of my life again

I
I stare at my life again
Stare at my life again

    I think it's like , coming back to a place you visited long ago, but it's not the same now. maybe also, realiizing something terrible has happened their before he returned. (probably not, but maybe)

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
