More Than This

July For Kings

If there's something here to learn
I guess I'll find a way
To turn the absence into life
If you take the blame
I guess it's time to fade away
And turn the day into the night
And if there's nothing left
Then I'll confess
And put to rest Orion's sky
We never really knew

Keep the day in
A music box
Open it every now and then
To hear it stop

And I see myself
Staring back at me
Through the mirror I'll be
More than this
More than...

If there's nothing here to see
I guess I'll close my eyes
And take the fall
Goodbye, goodbye

If there's nothing left to see
I guess I'll close my eyes
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Keep the day in
A music box
Open it every now and then
To hear it stop

And I see myself
Staring back at me
Through the mirror I'll be
More than this
More than...
Staring back at me, back at me, back at me, back at me
I'll be, I'll be
More than this

Keep the day in
A music box
Open it every now and then
To hear it stop

And I see myself
Staring back at me
Through the mirror I'll be
More than this
I see, I see...
Staring back at me, back at me, back at me
And I see myself
Staring back at me, back at me, back at me,

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
