@[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.
I am the walking dead heartbreaker, my apologies,
I'm happy you'll never understand what
it's like to be trapped under six feet of solid glass,
I can see out, but no one gets in
Screaming at this prison, I've locked myself into,
I'm sorry that I'm still breathing and that I'll
Kill again. But the loneliness is too much for me to handle.
The taste of fresh blood, pushes me on.
I told myself the constant pain could ease the tension burning inside
But the nights were cold and the days dragged to weeks,
I will die here alone I will die
The fear of romance
The pain of living
The joy of sorrow
The strength of unforgiving (x2)
God help me, I'm so tired,
but in my dreams the wolves eat out my soul
God help me, I'm so frightened,
but in my dreams the wolves tear out my heart
I used to be golden, a saint in a time of sorrow,
but then the turning came and I kissed
The sun goodbye, don't you get it,
it's always darker in my eyes, the screams of my brothers
Egging me on

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
kick ass song..VAMPIRES KICK ASS
I think this band is a good hardcore band with a lot of great lyrics....does anybody agree with me?....
Hardcore band? Are you shitting me? Have you tried listening to 50Caliber, Hatebreed, Born From Pain, Knuckledust, Six Ft Ditch etc. i certainly do not agree with you.
mad song!
dude this is such a great song
describes me perfectly...lol
If a song by Atreyu describes you perfectly you need to re-evaluate your life and self image. If your life can relate to a vampire or at least think it can you need to get out of your coffin, find a bridge, jump off it and hopefully die at the end. Love you all xxxx
This song is so badass, yet it turns quite beautiful at the end with "I used to be golden, A saint in a time of sorrow, But then the turning came and I kissed the sun goodbye. Don't you get it? It's always darker in my eyes" which are some awesome lyrics. This whole cd is incredible, and i cant believe barely anyone is posting about them. Oh well
I used to be golden, A saint in a time of sorrow, But then the turning came and I kissed the sun goodbye. Don't you get it? It's always darker in my eyes, The screams of my brothers, Egging me on.
yep I'd say those are great lyrics....anyone see creed write somethin like that....yeah me neither
I'm quite surprised that Creed have wrote something like this seeing as theyre just as awful. If you ever feel like you awnt to kill yourself please listen to "the screams of your brothers egging you on" many thanks. Tard.
