Jamais Vu

Dredg

I looked to the sky
Saw my body die
Got to reappear up there
It's where I want to be
In the university
I've found, I've found my own college
I've found, I've found a way to resolve this

I’m not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to hear to comfort you?
I will wait all of this time above you

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you needed to hear?
Take all that I have known
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you need me to fear?
Take all that I have found

I'm not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to hear to comfort you
I'll wait all this time above you

I looked to the ground
I was pleased with what I'd found
Got to reappear up here
It’s where I will always be
In the university
I've found, I've found all my problems
I'm gone, I'm gone finally solve this

I'm not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to have to comfort you
I'll wait all this time above you

    i noticed that it sounded like there were some backmasking sounds at the end of the song and i played it backwards and its sounds like hes saying "save us". if this is right it adds more meaning to the song.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
