Black Skin Sexuality

Skunk Anansie

Oohh...
I think I'll stay in my little closet
I think I'll stay where it's nice and warm
There's no one to ask me embarrassing questions
There's no one to wonder where I've been

I think I'll stay in my little posse
I think I'll stay where I think I'm free
So they can protect me from my infidelity
And I can believe they care about me

I can beat you, I can beat you
I love aggression, I love aggression
I can reach you
Inside your dirty mind
But don't talk about...
Skin, skin, black skin, Sexuality
You're not wanted
Skin, skin, black skin, Sexuality
You're not wanted
You're not wanted 'cause you look too much like I do

I think I'll stay in my little culture
I think I'll try to be, what you wanna see
And I can pretend I'm one of the girlies
I can pretend it's no big deal

But what do I do if I'm not black enough
What do I do if I'm too weird
I will deny me, I will survive me
I will be one of my pressured peers

I can beat you,I can beat you
I love aggression,I love aggression
I can reach you
Inside your dirty mind
But don't talk about...
Skin, skin, black skin, Sexuality
You're not wanted
Skin, skin, black skin, Sexuality
You're not wanted
You're not wanted 'cause you look too much like I do

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
