Make This Right

Up Syndrome

You can bare your back to me
Watch my eyes remain in statue
As you expose your wings
Almost immediately
My eyes shut from the frustration
Of all the echoing

Communication is foreign
Honest cries are just ignored
And our stubborn eyes
Keep us blind from what is true
What's keeping me from you

Days becoming a routine
We could probably go a lifetime
Never noticing
And this storybook ending
Statically flutters in my head
Are we slowly fading

When we get lost in fields of sorrow
Scared, confused, fearing tomorrow
All we have is a memory of blur
One thing is for sure

There's something wrong
And this heart is trying to find
Just why before we flat line

Fingers interlocked with mine
Can you trust my touch
Or will you forever me deny
I don't know what you've been told
But this cannot be cured like colds
Can we make this work
Will we ever make this right
Ever make this right
Will we ever make this right

There's something wrong
And this heart is trying to find
Just why before we flat line
There's something wrong

Are we standing still
Or are we treading backward
Are we standing still
I still feel the hurt
All this arguing is not good for me
Not good for me
All this arguing is not good for me
Not good for me
It's not good for you, not good for me

There's something wrong
This heart is beating for you
There's something wrong
This heart is bleeding for you
There's something wrong
This heart is beating for you
There's something wrong
This heart is bleeding for you

There's something wrong
And this heart is trying to find
Just why before we flat line
There's something wrong
And this heart is trying to find
Just why before we flat line

Lost inside of our love song
And I don't know where our love's gone
Can we make this work
Will we ever make this right
Ever make this right

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.
