My mind spins in circles
Have I done wrong?
It's been since forever that I felt this strong
You turn your head to avoid me
You don't even know me
So far from something to you

You kick me down â??cause you need it
So dead inside I can feel it
You're so much better; you've made me understand
You kick me down â??cause you need it
So dead inside I can feel it
You're slipping through me like water in my hands

And the anger consumes me
I start to rise
Would be so much better if I'd only try
And you're so quick to judge me
You don't even know me
My stomach turns just to know you

You keep me down â??cause you need it
So dead inside I can feel it
You're so much better; you've made me understand
You kick me down â??cause you need it
So dead inside I can feel it
You're slipping through me like water in my hands

I know you feel it
What do you want?
False hopes
I have nothing
Strength within
it begins to boil
Can you step out and
show yourself

Slip

You kick me down â??cause you need it
So dead inside I can feel it
You're so much better; you've made me understand
You kick me down â??cause you need it
So dead inside I can feel it
You're slipping through me like water in my hands

Slip

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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
