What We Hate, We Make

The Rocket Summer

don't try to hide
the mistakes i made this time
but please try and listen
cus i'm breaking my heart tonight
so you can see whats inside
cus wherever you go, well that's where i'll go
i'd do so much i'll show but you won't know
so heres a song to show for the things ive blown
but im sorry so... thats the only way that i know

and all ive learned is
what we hate we make, what we hate we make
theres no time for hating but what we hate we make

something is about to change
i can feel it in my heart today
and you know its not the first time
but i bet it won't be the same
cus right now im at an all time low
so heres a song just so you won't go
cus that the only thing that i know

and i will start with a verse
then a bridge, write a chorus
so we all can sing along
with everythign we got
but between you and me this song would be
written for us but i know thats not enough
to say im sorry

what we hate we make, what we hate we make
theres no time for hating but what we hate we make

and you will know what you will be
and yeah, you will know what you mean to me
yeah you will know that truthfully
i am sorry.

    ohhh this song makes me cry. sigh it seems like the whole *what we hate, we make thing" means is that essentialy all hate that you have is created by your own mind and you can stop hating by just letting yourself...if that makes and sense... =D

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.

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.
