People make mistakes
We find that everything breaks
And it always is the same, gotta find someone to blame
And these errors that we make (cause we're all human earthquakes)
Yeah, we made the hurricane, yet we're not the one's to blame?

We point the finger even though it's not polite
We condemn the son of God (we're hoping two wrongs make a right)
Maybe it is them
Or, maybe it is me
Or, maybe it's Maybeline

People make mistakes
We took the apple from the snake
And it always is the same:
Gotta find someone to blame
Our reputations were at stake, but the guilt we could not take
America's gone done the drain
The president's fault again?

We point the finger even though it's not polite
We condemn the son of God (we're hoping two wrongs make a right)
Maybe it is them
Or, maybe it is me
Or, maybe it's Maybeline

The truth is, excuses are lame
Accept consequence
Accept the blame
We're all sinners
We're all unclean
Maybe we're born with it
Or maybe it's Maybeline

    the first time i heard this song i loved it. the lyrics (which speak for themselves) coupled with some keyboard use (i love keyboards, i play one), make this song, by far, my fav by reliant k. yay.

    this is one of the best rk songs. especially the "the truth is excuses are lame" part. all about taking responsibility and not shoving the blame on someone else.

    This song is great. Relient K has some of the best intros I have ever heard, and this is one of them. This song isn't that heard to figure out what it means. Basicly means don't blam anyone but yourself for you mistakes.

    "Man, i saw this rockin' band at ichthus, man do they rock out hard core!!!!", that's what i would be saying if this band was good, instead, they lick their own scrotum with the goat face. Ichthus was like woodstock minus the fun. plus, Kirk Franklin and his Nu Nation weren't present. That's some shitty shit. extra pissed off i was. he's my nigga, and he keeps shit reality dogg. Niggerz rule!!!

    I think this song is good, to me, its not one of their best songs, but if you dont like it, dont listen to it! Relient K own! Their music is actually worthwhile listening to, they are awesome!

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
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.
