The pieces of the puzzle,
Lay out in front of me.
I'm searching for the answers,
To set my lost soul free

Life is filled with riddles.
I'm searching trying to find,
The answers to my questions,
To find my piece of mind


(I'm stuck on this,)
I gotta find out.
(I'm stuck on this,)
I feel in so much doubt.
(I'm stuck on this,)
Somebody take the strain
(I'm stuck on this,)
Feel my pain


The story never ends,
It is always replayed.
I gotta find the answers
They're forever delayed


(I'm stuck on this,)
I gotta find out.
(I'm stuck on this,)
I feel in so much doubt.
(I'm stuck on this,)
Somebody take the strain
(I'm stuck on this,)
Feel my pain

    Thanks to Diablo for posting this song. This one was written with the thoughts of everything seeming to go wrong, and the quest to find out why. It seemed to be an impossible to task to sort my life out at the time. The answers i needed seemed to be forever delayed by the circumstances that had put me in tht place.

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
