Roll film

Sweat out heart
Perfect for the part
Part of me for all to see
I’ve blocked this scene
In everynight’s dream
Camera cuts to close up
A-list actress
Messing up my line
Every time
Beautiful moves around

There’s a crew of cameras outside
They want a simple reason why
A headline
Inching up the drive
Can you imagine a better
Line (Life) Life?

Sweat out heart
Perfect for the
Apartment where we fell apart
Movie rain is just water in a pipe
Camera cuts to two-shot
A-list Actress
Messing up my mind
Every time
Beautiful moves around

You’re a cut above the clueless
In careful character for news
In league with all things heavenly
What’s a star to do?

A-list
Here in the real world
How does it feel?

Down down down
Comes calamity
Just because
Come and take a picture
Down down down
Comes recovery
Just because
Come on take a picture

Spit out heart
Perfect for the
Catastrophe I know I can be
Please tell me am I crazy?
Are you crazy for me?
A-list actress
Messing up my life
Every time.

Beautiful take
Cut
Print.

    I don't often say this but I think I hate this band. I read some of their stuff by Bob Nanna and either a) it didn't display his finer works or b) he can't write for shit.

    I apologize, xLovexHatex, that this does not measure up to the high level of quality and complexity that Slipknot and HIM do.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
