Hurry, Hurry
Come quickly
And leave all knowledge aside.
Don't say a word.
Just listen carefully to me.

The world is ours
If we could only let it be.

Every move we make
Will trigger another.
And every small mistake
Will be a messenger...

"The world is ours
If we could only let it be.
The world is ours
If we would only let it be."

Our lives are weaving like a thread.
Within each other, faithfully.
Sharing in our joys and miseries
And all that the world can give.

Always. Always.

In the depths of our souls.
Flickers of hope
Will show, so clear...
Like a pearl in the sea,
A pearl in the sea.

(the smiles on faces, born in familiar places.
we'll build ourselves islands upon the deepest oceans.)

For the last time,
This could be the last time
To pull it from the water,
To wear around our necks.

The world is ours
If we could only let it be.
The world is ours
If we would only let it be.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.

    I love this song. The great thing about Sleeping at Last is that their songs can be interpreted so many ways. But the way I see this song hardly involves relationships.

    I think the song talks a lot about life. "Every move we make // Will trigger another" - probably talks about how doing one thing will be followed by a chain of events, kind of like a domino effect. The song has a really light tone about it, so I don't think Ryan was being cynical. I think he means that everything will fall into its place eventually.

    "Our lives weaving like a thread // Within each other, faithfully" - I think Ryan is trying to say that we are all dependent on each other, and we are all apart of a bigger picture.

    I don't think I can say enough of how much I love this band. They're so refreshing.

    Wow.. Such an amazing song. I'm not sure if this is the actual meaning of the song, but this is what it means to me personally, and I think that's more important. It's about a relationship that he really wants to push to a new level, but the girl is having her doubts about it. It's about the things people go through when entering a new relationship and how you learn from your mistakes:

    "Every move we make Will trigger another. And every small mistake Will be a messenger..."

    Like I said, I may be a little off, but that's what the song means to me because I can really relate to that message right now.

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
