Scream

Fell forth, destroy the source
Can't see, and my voice is hoarse
Try to wash your hands of us
But you should know better than to leave us in disgust

Let me take you right to the point
All you ever do is encage and disjoint
That does it, the time has arrived
Take it or leave it, you better not side

(You did it again)
All you ever did was doubt
(What do you want?)
Let me tell you what it's all about

One life, nine hearts
And eighteen hands that'll rip you all apart

We're here to decimate
To show you all we will never fall
And it's gonna get serious and critical
Don't stop because the feeling is terminal

Scream like you never have before
(Scream) scream 'til you can't scream anymore
(Scream) scream like your throat is bleeding
(Scream) scream 'til your heart stops beating
Scream for me

Get off of me and give a lie
Show the whole damn world that this will never die
No matter how the energies scatter
Got to know nothing exists but the dream

(Give it all)
'Til there's nothing left to give
(Save it all)
Quit saving you
If you're going to let the pain inside
Never under-estimate the way you live your life

(Scream) scream like you never have before
(Scream) scream 'til you can't scream anymore
(Scream) scream like your throat is bleeding
(Scream) scream 'til your heart stops beating
Scream for me

(All our lives)
All we ever sacrificed has paid
(Everything)
Everything is possible to me
(Why no fate?)
Found everything that I had to take away
(Save your life)
Save it all and make a better way
(All our lives)
All we ever sacrificed has paid
(Everything)
Everything is possible to me
(Why no fate?)
Found everything that I had to take away
(Save your life)
Save it all and make a better way

Yeah

This stress is a feeling that you can't compress
Everything you're going through is total stress
Are you going to be a momentary king or just a run around?
Or will you handle the matter and prove you exist?

(All our lives)
All we ever sacrificed has paid
(Everything)
Everything is possible to me
(Why no fate?)
Found everything that I had to take away
(Save your life)
Save it all and make a better way
(All our lives)
All we ever sacrificed has paid
(Everything)
Everything is possible to me
(Why no fate?)
Found everything that I had to take away
(Save your life)
Save it all and make a better way

Scream (scream, scream, scream, scream, scream, scream, yeah)

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
