| Slade – Merry Xmas Everybody Lyrics | 3 years ago |

I want to add that my personal thought on the last line before the final chorus is a pun/play on words possibly a triple-play. My first assumption is that the word should be "sleighed" rather than "slayed", and coincidentally a third meaning being "Slade" since that's the name of the band that originated the song. In the end though all three meanings can apply but the main meaning being "sleighed" since it's a Christmas song and those often incorporate sleigh into the theming, and if you fill on your head then you would coincidentally be slayed by a sleigh. |

The lyrics above are butchered. Also, the chorus begins "We are but your children" NOT "mature children". This song is a prayer. From the very first line the writer is asking for love, wisdom, and deliverance. He pleads that "we are but you (ie God's) children" trying to find our way through this life and all the confusion. "Take us forever" is a plea for salvation before "nighttime (I e. Death) sends us on our way" |

| George Michael – One More Try Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
From the "Faith" album and shares almost the same theme as the title song "Faith". Both songs are from the perspective of a person hurt by failed relationships in the past and hesitating at the prospect of a new relationship. I would venture to say that both songs are about the same situation, but the conclusions of each song point different directions. "Faith" laments on the tears brought by a past lover that broke his heart and a new lover who poses as a temptation to enter into a new commitment when he has yet to pick his heart "up off the floor" from his last failed romance, but the song ends with George showing his newest love of "the door" and holding out for something "more" and having "faith" that something better will come along and that this latest romance is just not the one he should commit to. It seems he may already be having conflict in this new relationship given that he's trying to prevent "this river" (i.e. crying tears) from becoming "an ocean". So he seems to be trying to cut the relationship short before it gets any worse. "One More Try" is expressing the EXACT same hesitancy as "Faith" about the last "teacher" (i.e. lover, because every relationship teaches us with new experiences) and how that lover broke his heart. He seems convinced that his newest teacher/lover does not have what it takes to commit to the kind of relationship that the singer is looking for. He's telling his newest teacher/lover that he doesn't want to convince himself that this relationship will work because he doesn't want to face crushing disappointment when it fails. However in the end of this song instead of showing his newest love the door, he's conceding "maybe, just one more try". |
