I've got time
To watch you spin around in circles
Falling through the cracks inside your mind
That's fine
And I've been through the darkest hour
Made it to the other side of you
I can't live without you

I live for the day
I live for the night
That you will be desperate and dying inside
I live for the tears to fall down your face
I live for the words you finally say
I live for the day

You are high
Thinking you're invincible
So busy building castles in the sky
You're done
And you don't even know it
But your eyes have started showing that it's true
Trying to live without love

I live for the day
I live for the night
That you will be desperate and dying inside
I live for the tears
To fall down your face
I live for the words you finally say
I live for the day
I live for the day
Oh oh oh
Yeah
Oh oh oh
I can't live without you

I live for the day
I live for the night
That you will be desperate and dying inside
I live for the tears
To fall down your face
I live for the words you finally say
I live for the day
I live for the day

Oh I wanna see you crawling
Oh I wanna see you crawling
Oh I wanna see you crawling
I live for the day

    These are wrong.

    I've got time, To watch you spin around in circles Falling through the cracks inside your mind, Thats fine, I've been through the darkest hour Made it to the other side of you, I can live without you

    Chorus I live for the day I live for the night That you will be desperate And I am in sight I live for the tears To fall down your face, I live for the words You finally say, I live for the day

    You are high, Thinking you're invincible So busy building castles in the sky Your done, And you don't even know it But your eyes have started showing That it's true, trying to live without love

    Chorus

    I live for the day![2x] Oh Oh Oh day! Oh Oh Oh

    I can't live without you!

    Chorus

    Oh wanna see you crawlin' [3x]

    I live for the day...

    Having your ex want you and knowing he can't have you and just watching him be sad about it is a crap feeling... But I guess in the case of him hurting you, and then later realizing how wonderful you are, it's a sweet kind of pain.

    This song is about a girl who likes a boy very much. she wants to be with him, but she feels like he wont let her or anyone else in. she feels that he is like a brickwall of emotion. The boy keeps to himself, and is vulnerable about opening up to anyone, because he worries he will just end up getting hurt. The girl really wants to help this closed off boy, and feel emotionally close to him. She thinks the boy is starting to like and trust her however, and is therefore starting to open up to her. This is demonstrated in the line "you don’t even know it But your eyes have started showing that it’s true Trying to live without love.." This means that although he's trying to live without love he is starting to weaken, and she can see this in his eyes.

    A very intersting song with strange but meaningful lyrics.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
