Masks and a fake skin.
The builders keep breaking
The buzzing.
Attracted to the innocent.
The wolves lead the sheep.
The buzzing.

With a stare to crush their hopes and water.
To drown the flies.
their hands fall apart when we need to hold them.
And the skeleton speaks of what we've told them.
The buzzing.
They stare with the eyes of wolves, and the hearts of dead.
The builders keep breaking

    ok... i got a similar meaning from this but not the same exact thing... it sounds to me like the end times and false teachers...l;ets break this down... "masks and fake skin"-sounds to me like a decietful christian. one of those people who go to church and put on this fake costume of who they are. they pretend to be this christian they are not and they think that they are right with god cuz they go to church and pretend good. then when it say, "the builders keep breaking." i think of a christian also. we are to build our foundation on christ. he is the rock and if we build on anything but him, we are building on sand. we will break if we build on anything but him. when it says,"attracted to the innocent the wolves lead the sheep" i think... there are false teachers all the time. and they target the innocent people. the people who don't know any better. these false teachers have something coming though. ya know? then they go on to saying..."With a stare to crush their hopes and words. To drown the flies." i think of those christians that walk around and tell people that they are going to hell or they say "shame shame" to everything that a non-christian does. we are tearing them down instead of building them up. we should share the good news with them not their doom. hah. "Thier hands fall apart when we need to hold them. And the skeleton speaks of what we've told them." we need to hold these people... not scold these people. and the skeleton speaks of what we told them... i am not sure what that means but i am thinking it is like when they die(hence the word skeleton) they will realize what they told them is true. ya know? and that is why we need to say things to non-believers in the right way. we can be right in what we are saying but wrong in how we are saying it. ya know? "They stare with the eyes of wolves, and the hearts of dead. The builders keep breaking."... oh man i am on a roll here... ok... i think i got this song down... so like he is saying that we, christians are just as empty as these wolves sometimes. ya know? like we are like rejecting the people who need us the most and saying that they are wrong all the time instead of helping them out. and like instead of "builders" building... we are the ones that are breaking them. we are tearing down any hope they had in their future... sad... and the whole buzzing thing... i have nooo clue. if i were going to try to say what i think about that one i would say that it is what they have left of the word of god in them. they used to be able to hear and understand god but it just turned into a buzzing after a while. so like they can hear Him but they just don't understand what god is all about anymore.... if someone thinks of this song differently please share. God bless!

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

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.
