Never been so far away
I don't think I want to stay in this room
Anymore

If I crawl across the floor
Then I'd be closer to that door
It's too far

Never been so far away
Just lost the last thought in my head
What happens now?

Some fantasy you've been
Pick up the pieces in my mind
I'm going home

    I love this song even though it is quite simple lyrically.

    I think it describes the feeling of being trapped in a situation/place such as a relationship that has lost its spark or a job one has no passion for. Maybe even a cycle of depression? After awhile you sort of become numb to it all and perceive that there is no way out. There are fleeting moments of inspiration to take action but they are quickly abandoned due to the feelings of helplessness.

    "Just lost the last thought in my head What happens now?"

    You just float through life, going through the motions, living day by day and not bothering to live it to the fullest. Time drags on. This is conveyed by the repetitive guitars and drawn out, dream-like vocals.

    I think it is tragic because it describes the endless yearning for "home", or the feelings associated with it such as warmth/familiarity/belonging, but believing that the situation is so hopeless that one loses the motivation to find a way out.

    "If I crawl across the floor Then I'd be closer to that door It's too far"

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
