Now my friend
We stand at the end
We've failed to find
The way out

The falling of messiahs and raising of funds
Is a procession of liars
Thieves and wrongs
The new order of the land is to live in fear

Now decide
Where you stand
Look to the edges of earth
It's barren land

The falling of messiahs
And raising of funds
Is a procession of liars
Thieves and wrongs

The new order of the land is to live in fear
Now decide
An altered form is coming from the crux of the human soul
The front line of sanity is changing for the worst

We can't return, we can't advance
We're stuck in perpetual doom
A parade of horribles has come into town
Grabs you from below and pulls you straight down

Come down, inside leave it to a fool to try and hide
The frontline of sanity is changing for the worst
An altered form is coming from the crux of the human soul
The frontline of sanity is changing for the worst

It's all too real when you can't feel we're in pain
The new order of the land is to live in fear
Now my friend
We stand at the end

We've failed to find the way out
This is not a passing movement, our cultures soon to fall
Seeing, being, bleeding is believing
We have had to end our lives

The time has come to stand
What is and will forever be nothing
The front line of sanity is changing for the worst
Grabs you from below, it pulls you down

    It's kind of strange, whenever I listen to these guys, I find myself swaying from side to side, like Stevie Wonder on PCP.

    I love them, even if they do make me feel like a blind, black drug addict pianist...

Little Feat
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
