Since I was a little kid,
I tried to get out of my head
Trapped on a playground ,
I'd stare up at the sky
I didn't even know why

But daily life took an evil shape
Some conformed
Some tried to escape
And these are the misfits that i've known
Like a sock in the eye
They feel it to the bone

It's a joke that we all know
We're the bait in a horror show

Yeah, we are all alone
In a horror show

Banish me and mine to outer space
I'd shoot them in a second
Just for the breathing space
I'd put the punks on the moon
Fpr head room
And mods rule the galaxy
That's the way i think things should be
The creep in you is the creep in me
And gravity presses down like a lie
We want wild sex,
But we don't want to die

do you feel there's no where to go
We're the bait in this shorror show
And we're all alone in a horror show
And we're on our own

If I spoke in words of only hate
Tell me would you now
Could you relate?

And I,
I wish i me Lou Reed
Out on his darkened sea
'Cause I felt when his blood would flow
But it doesn't take a thousand years to know
That ship burned a long time ago
And we're freaks in this horror show

We're all alone
We're on our own
In this horror show

here's another song not available on third eye blind's album called "TATOO OF
THE SUN"

TATOO OF THE SUN

I believe everything you say
'Cuz you're not frightened
The way I've been so
So i follow you
Just incase you loose your way
So glad you let me stay around
The chain linked fence you climbed
To make forbidden lake our own
Your's and mine
And with ease of the sea gulls
We cut the engines and cruise high
In the summer sky
Now I could speak the everything
But there's no roomfor my voice
When sweet feed back is Jumping through the hoop of you ear
Ring there goes the phone
And then you're off again
On what the caller brings
So I went and trashed myself at the bar
Confused for nothing thinking you'd be there
I'm so embarrassed
'Cuz it's you who comes to take care of me
Shambling home again with you to lead
And it's not the way i want to go
And i'm mad at you
and i'm mad at me
talking endlessly
not a kind word to say
'Till your amber beads of wisdom come
And i want to write it down
Just the way you said it
So I could keep it always
I can't forget the smell
of summer trees at midnight
Bending backwords to pleasse the wind
You touch the tatoo of the sun
On a warm belly that once carried a baby for a while
Then let that crackled leather jacket round you fold
Red face saints monogrammmed in gold
An din this beauty i would not go any further
'Cuz i suddenly rembered
We can't live this way forever
Idle daylight
I'v never caught you in a lie
not until now
i feel somehow
the passing of these days gone by
what will you do when the feeling that you have is through
i need to know'cuz i've never stop hanging on you
and it's times like this that i dread
when there's everything to say
and nothing left to be said
to be said
and it makes me sad...

    I think this is by far 3EB's best B-side! This song absolutely rocks! They should have saved it for an album cause nobody really knows the song.

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.

Dreamwalker
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.

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.
