In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
She's in love but she doesn't know
What she needs or how to let go
I feels like being married
She was too young to miscarry
She says
"Bye bye my childhood dream man
I will keep in touch if I can
Spent the best years of my life with you"
Happens every time
You start to lose yourself
You turn to blame the one
That loves you the most
To stay and work it out is harder
Than to run away
So she leaves a note
Because to his face she couldn't say
"Bye bye my childhood dream man
I will keep in touch if I can
Spent the best years of my life with you"
Hold on if you can
Hold on
So all things fade in time
But what was once so bright
Somehow no longer shines
Caught the pain at last
Thought he was the one
Thought she had the strength to hold
"Bye bye my child hood dream man
I will keep in touch if I can
Spent the best years of my life with you"
"Bye bye my teenage angel
I don't know how the spell was broken
I don't know what I'm doing, but I'll miss you
I don't know what I'm doing but I'll miss you
I don't know what I'm doing but I'll miss you"
What she needs or how to let go
I feels like being married
She was too young to miscarry
She says
"Bye bye my childhood dream man
I will keep in touch if I can
Spent the best years of my life with you"
Happens every time
You start to lose yourself
You turn to blame the one
That loves you the most
To stay and work it out is harder
Than to run away
So she leaves a note
Because to his face she couldn't say
"Bye bye my childhood dream man
I will keep in touch if I can
Spent the best years of my life with you"
Hold on if you can
Hold on
So all things fade in time
But what was once so bright
Somehow no longer shines
Caught the pain at last
Thought he was the one
Thought she had the strength to hold
"Bye bye my child hood dream man
I will keep in touch if I can
Spent the best years of my life with you"
"Bye bye my teenage angel
I don't know how the spell was broken
I don't know what I'm doing, but I'll miss you
I don't know what I'm doing but I'll miss you
I don't know what I'm doing but I'll miss you"

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is a fucking good song. Addict is great. :3
@downstairs Yes it is! What happened to them?
