High life
Was losing all my friends
Was losing them to drinking and to driving
Was losing all my friends, I got them back
I am on the mend
At least now I can say that I'm trying
And I hope you will forget things I still lack
Yeah, yeah
Is it in you now
To bare to hear the truths that you have spoken
Twisted up by knaves in a trap for fools?
Is it in you now
To watch the things you gave your life to broken
Stoop and build them up with worn out tools?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nothing gets so bad
A whisper from your father couldn't fix it
Your whispers like a bridge, he's a river span
And take all that you have
And turn it into something you were missing
Somebody threw that brick and shattered all your plans
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground
Takes a while to grow anything
Before it's coming to an end, yeah
Before you put my body in the cold ground
Take some time and warm it with your hands
Before it's coming to an end, yeah
It's coming to an end
Do you miss the blend
Of colors she left in your black and white field
Do you feel condemned just being there?
I am not your friend
I am just a man who knows how it feels
I am not your friend
I'm not your lover, I'm not your family
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground
Takes a while to grow anything
Before it's coming to an end, yeah
Was losing them to drinking and to driving
Was losing all my friends, I got them back
I am on the mend
At least now I can say that I'm trying
And I hope you will forget things I still lack
Yeah, yeah
Is it in you now
To bare to hear the truths that you have spoken
Twisted up by knaves in a trap for fools?
Is it in you now
To watch the things you gave your life to broken
Stoop and build them up with worn out tools?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nothing gets so bad
A whisper from your father couldn't fix it
Your whispers like a bridge, he's a river span
And take all that you have
And turn it into something you were missing
Somebody threw that brick and shattered all your plans
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground
Takes a while to grow anything
Before it's coming to an end, yeah
Before you put my body in the cold ground
Take some time and warm it with your hands
Before it's coming to an end, yeah
It's coming to an end
Do you miss the blend
Of colors she left in your black and white field
Do you feel condemned just being there?
I am not your friend
I am just a man who knows how it feels
I am not your friend
I'm not your lover, I'm not your family
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground
Takes a while to grow anything
Before it's coming to an end, yeah

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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 got a friend who had them send themn to me over IM i hate how peoepl are so dead set on the fact that NO it's not this way or that. it's the guys interpretation let him thin kwhat he wants.
