Your about to get stuck
In the middle of this, can’t you see?
Your problems are getting bigger
But you don’t know what’s about to hit you
Tell me exactly what you can see when you close your eyes

Now your gonna get lost
And there is nowhere to go and hide
So you wanna pull the trigger
But you don’t think about who’s gonna miss you
Maybe you need to step back
Think again, try to live another day!

Live on
Inside you
Inside yourself
Wait for tomorrow
Move on
With your life
There’s no one else
Life’s too short to go and throw it all away!

So you better think twice
And try to make things right in your life Before you make that one decision
You don’t really want to come up missing
Why don’t you understand, there’s no second chance
You’ve got no reason

To go take your own life
Just understand this one thing
It is a permanent solution to a temporary problem
Things will get better in time
You will see
Someone out there really cares

Live on
Inside you
Inside yourself
Wait for tomorrow
Move on
With your life
There’s no one else
Life’s too short to go and throw it all away!

    its an anti-suicide song. the person he's talking to has problems and doesnt get help, sp the problems get worse. he tells them to make the right choice and not take the easy way out

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.

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.
