Granted that I'm so often layered I'm wired
Overcome overdone, my fate is on fire
Eat the sludge and dance to screaming in my head
I'm so happy that we're friends
Me and you

So here I am
Simple and upside down
Corner stone left in the millions
Heavy in my pocket, you look good to me
And my pants are huge and chocolate covered

Hey, I'm just like you
Maybe I'm sloppy and blue
But hey, I'm just like you
Except I've got nothing to prove
But we're headstrong tonight
Beating through the rainbows of right
Gold-covered prisms of light
Make us headstrong tonight

Witchcraft haunt
And I'm slowly crumbling
And moving magic dreams
And mothers whisper nice
Hell is my shirt and I melted slow above heaven
Wet to the bone, will you dry me off before I freeze?
But here I am
Bum as a drunk and a lovers
I said that I have loved no others
She goes to the shows not to be afraid
But she knows that it will never be the same

Hey, I'm just like you
Maybe I'm sloppy and blue
But hey, I'm just like you
Except I've got nothing to prove
But we're headstrong tonight
Beating through the rainbows of right
Gold-covered prisms of light
Make us headstrong tonight
Headstrong tonight
Beating through the rainbows of right
Gold-covered prisms of light
Make us headstrong tonight

Hey, I'm just like you
Maybe I'm sloppy and blue
But hey, I'm just like you
Except I've got nothing to prove
But we're headstrong tonight
Beating through the rainbows of right
Gold-covered prisms of light
Make us headstrong tonight

Hey, I'm just like you
Maybe I'm sloppy and blue
But hey, I'm just like you
Except I've got nothing to prove
But we're headstrong tonight
Hey, I'm just like you . . .

    I really think this is one of the most amazing songs, and I don't get why it only has one other comment.

    I don't DISLIKE this song, but it's voice is really immature. It doesn't really say anything, it has a lot of grammatical errors, the harmonies are weak, the recording is bad. You can't blame them for it, this was a song they wrote in high school.

    Sara was sooooo high when she wrote this. This was back when they were on acid.

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”

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
