You're the one who
You're the one who steals the life from
I'm the one who feels the falling
I believe you're nothing but a problem

Everything is so fake
You're just a motherfucking sight to see
And time will block the vision
Life with you is so vague
It's like I'm living in a dream

I have wondered why this always happens
Everything just falls away
Soon you'll be the one who is forgotten
It's so close but it's so far away

You're the one who
You're in disbelief of what you
Thought you could achieve or try to
Once I thought this life was never ending

Must've been my mistake
You're just a motherfucking accident
Offending yet amusing
I should have known that you
And your intensions weren't for me

You're the one who fed the violence
I'm the one who broke the silence
I will sew the hole you left inside me
Leaving you in the past
I will release

    i can't believe no one has commented on this song, it was my instant favorite when i first heard SDP. it sounds a bit more comercial and poppy but the sound and emotion is till the same. the meaning is a recuring theme for spineshank in this case over a person who has betrayed or hurt the author. "Soon you'll be the one who is forgotten" sounds like the singer is coaxing himself to forget and let go. the breakdown say it all "I will sew the hole you left inside me, leaving you in the past, i will release" just being in that place where your recovering from damage done by another person and telling yourself you'll make it without the missing piece.

    I thought this song was about a parent/partner who was abusive but there wasnt a clear way out. Thats why i think more about a parent. 'You're the one who steals the life from I'm the one who feels the falling' As if the parent fights with him to releave stress but then the writer gets it instead. 'Everything is so fake' As if the parent had told him to act good and nice around other people when its not that way at all. Another reason it could be a parent is because when he says Soon you'll be the one who is forgotten It's so close but it's so far away It could mean hes waiting until he can move out and forget it all. 'You're just a motherfucking accident Offending yet amusing' After a while if your of a strong character in general you realise people like the one being described are low and you realise you are suprior to them, all they do is offend, fight and attempt to destroy everything but you laugh because you eventualy find them pathetic. 'You're the one who fed the violence I'm the one who broke the silence' The parent may have been violent towards the writer but the writer realised it was wrong and told people what was going on in order to move on.

    It really is a brilliant song

    I look at this song as a relationship that was once great but then turned to shit. One person loved the other very strongly and felt that they would always last "Once I thought this life was never ending" But as time passes they see the person for just being cold and heartless in the inside and they were nothing more then good looking "Your just a motherfucking sight to see" Once they finally realize they've gone wrong by choosing that person and eventually lose them, they try to be the strong one who is able to move on no matter how much it hurts that they lost them "I will sew the hole you left inside me Leaving you in the past I will release"

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.
Album art
American Town
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.
Album art
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.
