Moon covered determined to find
To find my place of hiding
Try to detach
Try to decrease
To make it easier on me

Despise myself for what you've done
Sent me back into my world
Hold yourself cause no one will
I'll make it easier

Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun

Do you feel the same anyway?
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway?
Now you've come

Stay alert cause I'm obsessed
Surely I can't be depressed
Could I be read if I was see-through,
Or would you just read my spine
Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see through,
Or would you just read my spine

Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun

Do you feel the same anyway?
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway?
Now you've come
Do you feel the same
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway?

Hold yourself cause no one will
I'll be there to take the spill
Cleanse your soul
Change the tide
And ride the wave back into me

Be the one
Without the gun

Do you feel the same anyway?
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway?
Now you've come
Do you feel the same
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway?

    The first part (about trying to hide, detach, decrease) seems to be about Daniel wanting to disappear from the public eye and the scrutiny of the press. Hence his anorexia, which could have sprung partly from his desire to fade into the background.

    This interpretation gains credence from the lyric, "now I have managed to be the one / to be the victim without the gun". By making himself sick and vulnerable, he has become a victim in the public eye without needing to actually kill himself.

    He also seems to be accusing someone of triggering an emotional set-back - though he takes the blame for their actions upon himself ("despise myself for what you've done / sent me back into my world")

    Others have already explained this part that goes, "could I be read if I was see-through / or would you just read my spine", which I agree is about people making superficial snap judgements about others, especially those in the public eye.

    I think this song is Dan's way of asking a girlfriend (could also be a friend, fan etc) if she feels the same about him NOW that she actually KNOWS the real him, in all his imperfections.

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.
