This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Without pretension
With a sweet chill down my spine
For a time, the clouds lift, and what I have resigned to thinking barren
Does bear fruit
If I am to die, if I must die
I must inspire while I live
Alongside the dreamers
Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams
I surrender all, all I have to give
Those who have survived life's thorns
And provided escape
To those whose creations live forever
To those that wrote the words
Though my knees become weak
I will cause my foot another step
To carry the task
And to those that understood
There is a need for faith
And a need for hope
Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams
As with the brightest and the wisest
I know the need of faith, hope, and dreams
I burn for vision and inspiration, for this is life
If perchance I am dreaming
Please, let me sleep
To spend my time in great Atlantis
In search of Camelot
I drink from the grail, and war with the immortals
Rather than sulk in the ruins of a fallen sky castle
Amidst the remnants of once
Mighty colossus
Comes this call:
Where are the builders?
I clearly see the slayers, and the hope they destroy
I clearly see the thieves, and the wonders they deprive the inspired
Where are the builders?
If I am to die, if I must die
I must inspire while I live
Alongside the dreamers
With a sweet chill down my spine
For a time, the clouds lift, and what I have resigned to thinking barren
Does bear fruit
If I am to die, if I must die
I must inspire while I live
Alongside the dreamers
Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams
I surrender all, all I have to give
Those who have survived life's thorns
And provided escape
To those whose creations live forever
To those that wrote the words
Though my knees become weak
I will cause my foot another step
To carry the task
And to those that understood
There is a need for faith
And a need for hope
Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams
As with the brightest and the wisest
I know the need of faith, hope, and dreams
I burn for vision and inspiration, for this is life
If perchance I am dreaming
Please, let me sleep
To spend my time in great Atlantis
In search of Camelot
I drink from the grail, and war with the immortals
Rather than sulk in the ruins of a fallen sky castle
Amidst the remnants of once
Mighty colossus
Comes this call:
Where are the builders?
I clearly see the slayers, and the hope they destroy
I clearly see the thieves, and the wonders they deprive the inspired
Where are the builders?
If I am to die, if I must die
I must inspire while I live
Alongside the dreamers

Holiday

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
shai hulud: better than cheez-it's.
better then fucking....just better then most
anyone else notice the "I surrender all. all I have to give" taken from the band Strongarm. very similar to Shai-Hulud... possibly better. they even shared a drummer.
"To those that wrote the words, Though my knees become weak, I will cause my foot another step. To carry the task."
That entire part is dedicated to Strongarm..."Though my knees become weak I will cause my foot another step to carry the task" is from Strongarm's song These Times That Try Men's Souls. Anyone who can appreciate Hulud will love Strongarm.
It's an ode to autonomous and original thinkers. Which, makes their use of another band's lyrics slightly ironic (perhaps intentional?). Well, I suppose that imitation is the greatest form of flattery...and it is a song dedicated to inspirational people.
