Bite To Break Skin

Senses Fail

So let me take this medicine
To quench my love for violent things
My swan song will
Be like a bullet laced in anger
As the razor cuts the soft spot on your heel

(Each breath) it's getting slower
(This war) it's getting harder
To fight by myself
(Sick waves) a bitter fashion
(Rip down) this shield that I have
Tears rain from above

Do you see the life I lead?

So follow me into the sun
And I will bleed the poisons dry

These bayonet scars never cease
To blind the light, shed from the beast
And all we do is hate

(Eyes shot) from constant visions
(Angels) are rendered useless
Good has lost its heart

Do you see the life I lead?

So follow me into the sun
And I will bleed the poisons dry

For you [2x]
(For you) [3x]

Bite to break skin
Don't give the secret
My stoic face
Beating with passion
The Phoenix will die
Inside the firestorm
I am the son
Follow my footsteps
Follow my footsteps

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
