You incomplete me
You tune me into
Whitewash
Spoon fed
Brain dead
Sloth

I'd watch the paint dry before giving in
Black out
Stupor
Inferior
Insignifigant

False stars above keep us sedated
Satellite
Astronaut
Spaceship
The Government

I'm overdosing on reality
Don't stop the feed
No don't touch the feed

I don't want to want to be
Want to want to be
I don't want to be here
Want to want to be here so let's go
Turn off the radio
Turn off the TV
I don't want to be
Want to want to be
I don't want to be here
Want to want to be here so let's go
Turn off the radio
Turn off the TV

Eliminate me you turn me into
Lifeless
Cliche'

Thoughtless
Unbelievable
So bored with my life
Entertained me with normal
Usual
Average
It's so typical

Artists traded in for the talentless
Spoiled kid
Wife swap
Tycoon
The has-beens

So entertaining it makes me sick
Don't stop the feed
Don't, no don't touch the feed

I don't want to want to be
Want to want to be
I don't want to be here
Want to want to be here so let's go
Turn off the radio
Turn off the TV
I don't want to want to be
Want to want to be
I don't want to be here
Want to want to be here so let's go
Turn off the radio
Turn off the TV

I'm so uninterested
So unamused
Dissapointed in yourself
To be so consumed
I'm so uninterested
So unamused
Dissapointed in yourself
To be so consumed

Buy nothing
Nothing
Buy nothing
Nothing

I don't want to want to be
Want to want to be
I don't want to be here
Want to want to be here so let's go
Turn off the radio
Turn off the TV
I don't want to be
Want to want to be
I don't want to be here
Want to want to be here so let's go
Turn off the radio
Turn off the TV

I don't want to be
Want to want to be
I don't want to be here
Want to want to be here so let's go
Turn off the radio
Turn off the TV
I don't want to be
Want to want to be
I don't want to be here
Want to want to be here so let's go
Turn off the radio
Turn off the TV

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.

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.
