This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I alone
Cry beside her
Pushed away
Once too often
Face that lie
Vision changes
Shade is ice
The words are poison
Changes made now why can't I
Fill the face in the mirror
What I want still you won't give
But I cannot hate you
Oh, you're a monster
Blood alone
Stains the sorry
Tired eyes
My skin seems heavy
Mind astray
The sane still laughing
Images
All worth losing
Changes made now can't I
Fill the face in the mirror
What I want still you won't give
But I cannot hate you
Oh, you're a monster. you don't know
The hate I have
Inside, if you could see it you'd be
Terrified, you would
Kill me at once. but even by killing
Me you can't free
Yourself from my hatred. you can
Kill my body
But I'll never leave you in peace
You cannot believe what your in for
The screams burn your eyes
The feeling of leaving yourself dies
Scratch out the real you
Time ticking away the killing
Choking on sorrow
Now you're dead and didn't listen
Gave into the fear
I'm not the one who takes from you
I need you
In time there is no joy
But still you've lived
I just can't see when I lie
I am
So few like them
In the way
Cry beside her
Pushed away
Once too often
Face that lie
Vision changes
Shade is ice
The words are poison
Changes made now why can't I
Fill the face in the mirror
What I want still you won't give
But I cannot hate you
Oh, you're a monster
Blood alone
Stains the sorry
Tired eyes
My skin seems heavy
Mind astray
The sane still laughing
Images
All worth losing
Changes made now can't I
Fill the face in the mirror
What I want still you won't give
But I cannot hate you
Oh, you're a monster. you don't know
The hate I have
Inside, if you could see it you'd be
Terrified, you would
Kill me at once. but even by killing
Me you can't free
Yourself from my hatred. you can
Kill my body
But I'll never leave you in peace
You cannot believe what your in for
The screams burn your eyes
The feeling of leaving yourself dies
Scratch out the real you
Time ticking away the killing
Choking on sorrow
Now you're dead and didn't listen
Gave into the fear
I'm not the one who takes from you
I need you
In time there is no joy
But still you've lived
I just can't see when I lie
I am
So few like them
In the way

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

THIS SONG JUST KIX SO MUCH ASS. IT TO ME IS ABOUT CHANGING AND WHAT GOES ON IN THE PROCESS. NOTHINGFACE ARE GODS IN MY SMALL MEANINGLESS WORLD
WORLD DOMINATION!!! My favorite Nothingface song on my favorite Nothingface CD, Matt has such an awesome voice, the lyrics are awesome, they described how I felt once upon a time. This is one beautiful song, that still kicks my ass just like every other Nothingface song. Nothingface ARE Gods!!!
Just proof that Matt Holt is one of most talented vocalist in the whole damn world. He can go from high to low just like that and he makes it sound damn good. Song is one of the best ever next to make your own bones and same solution.
so few lie now in the way so few lie now in the way thats what I always heard before i found the lyrics.. still the only thing I can hear when I listen to it heh
at the end of the part right before "so few like them..." where hes quietly singing...it sounds like hes saying something different then what the lyrics say...anybody got any idea on what they really are?
"but still you've lived i just can't see when i lie i am" thats that part. this song is about a girl who keeps pushing matt away and hurting him but its always him there for her. sad song.
