So Come On Home

Franz Ferdinand

Although my lover lives
In a place that I can't live
I kinda find I like a life this lonely

It rips and pierces me
In places I can't see
I love the rip of nerves the rip that wakes me

So I'm dissatisfied
I love dissatisfy
I love to feel there's always more that I need

So come on home
So come on home
So come on home, home

You're where you want to be
I'm where I want to be
Come on we're chasing everything we've ever wanted

Replace you easily
Replace pathetically
I flirt with every flirty thing that falls my way

But how I needed you
When I needed you
Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong

Come on home
So come on home
So come on home, home

Blue light falls upon your perfect skin
Falls and you draw back again
Falls and this is how I felt
And I cannot forget
And I cannot forget

Come on home
So come on home
But don't forget to leave

    Probably their best song. The synth line in it is really, REALLY good. He's on a different plane than who he's talking about but he likes it anyways. But wants the person to "...Come on Home," regardless

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
