Wake the fuck up!

Each day, more frightening
All of us wanna die
The pressure's tightening
I don't even want to try

Should I take all the stupid bullshit
What makes them think they can get away with it?
Im not happy
I wish they just...

Wake the fuck up!

I can take no more
What are we fighting for?
You are my brothers
Each one I would die for
Please just let it go
All the heads are blown
Let's just take the stage
And remember why we play for

No more fighting!
I swear I'm gonna leave
Talking shit to spite me
I wish they just..

Wake the fuck up!

I can take no more
What are we fighting for?
You are my brothers
Each one I would die for
Please just let it go
All the heads are blown
Let's just take the stage
And remember why we play for

Remember why we play for

    I think this is what Jon would be saying if he happened to be the leader of the military during war. He wonders why there is always so much fighting in this world, and states, "You are my brothers, each one I would die for." He just wishes the enemies would just wake up and just let it go. But he'd rather just surrender and die than fight through or try to put the conflict to an end. The statement "Remember what we play for" means he'd be telling the remaining soldiers to remember what they stand for but to just give up, which is why I'm glad he won't run for President.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.

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.
