Dear, it's a lot like the way that we don't talk
Every day that I'm away I will be there
In the parking lot with the drugs we bought
The hope I had

I haven't got a prayer
I haven't got a prayer
And you're small and feeling used
Just stare and stay confused

Don't say what we've become
And, dear, I promise you
A change is overdue
By the time that I arrive I will be done

Whatever I do
Whatever I say to make you feel better
And every hour of every day it's all I ever
Hand me your hope

Just stay together
And they're all down with watching you drown
It's now or never here
It's about the things you see when you figure out

What the hell is going on
Bury me beneath the overpass and the empty streets
It's better when I'm gone
And in the dark you say my name

I call you and you came
And it's more than I can bear
You're lost and left alone
And hope is never home

What's wrong is everywhere
Ask me I'm sure I'll tell you how we sing together now
And it leaves me
Ask her

I'm sure she'll tell you more
Just sing it like before
Believe me
Believe me

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
