I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
‘Cause this is fucking up my mind
I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
‘Cause this is fucking up my mind

What’s eating at you now?
I can see right through you
No I’m not complaining
But you’re running out of time

So what’s become of this?
Just frowning faces
No more skeletons hiding
No point in confining
What needs to get out

Something inside of me
Has got me tripping on you
And I can’t explain it
Maybe you’re just no good for me
After all
Don’t want it
Don’t want it
Don’t want it

I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
‘Cause this is fucking up my mind
I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
‘Cause this is fucking up my mind

Now that I’m reading between the lines
I need to leave this alone
I know with so much rejection
How could I be satisfied
Can you face it, not at all
Is it possible that it could be you
Who makes the mistakes

Something inside of me
Has got me tripping on you
And I can’t explain it
Maybe you’re just no good for me
After all

I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
‘Cause this is fucking up my mind
I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
‘Cause this is fucking up my mind

With or without this I’m alright
And part of me changes every time
Don’t you know you’re no good for me
Don’t you know you’re no good for me

I don’t want it
Don’t want it
Don’t want it

I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
‘Cause this is fucking up my mind
I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
‘Cause this is fucking up my mind

I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
No I can’t take this
‘Cause this is fucking up my mind

    I understand where simiankolya is coming from because PSP was just so much different from Candyass and VT. I absolutley adored the first two albums, but sometimes different can be good. Yeah, it took me awhile to accept PSP, but it's not that bad of an album.

    Personally, Can't Take This is one of my favorite songs because it still has that digital sound at the beginning. I know Orgy is coming out with a 4th album which is supposedly like PSP and VT mixed.

    But the song pretty much speaks for itself.. a crappy relationship, etc..

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.

Ed Sheeran

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
