Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
That's where our heads are
My head and your heart

This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate

When you are so far
I'm falling apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar

This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate

Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
Between the handshake and the fuck

You've got me on guard
I've got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars

This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate

Sometimes I wish that I could change
I can't save you from my poor brain
Brain, brain, brain, okay

    Yeah, this song definetely has similarities to Pearl Jam's Last Exit, both are fast off-kilter rock songs, except this song has more depth (Although I think Pearl Jam is the better band). Awesome 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.
