Wishful eyes
Fill this room up with the spirit of your pride
So that all the world can hear it go in vain
Oh, once again I'm cracked and empty, leaking
Trip into the drain, wait, I can explain
Inside myself that I am seeking
Little smiles
Every moment brings another wasted mile
Between everything and everything I need
Get up to leave, for the time has come for leaving
And if it don't succeed, we'll just bury all beliefs
That we could escape this empty evening
Someone take control of me
I am spinning in infinity
With my life its going endlessly from control
Take off your clothes for the time has come for sleeping
Because everybody knows the world continues though
Whether or not you're still breathing
Little child
I discovered you and hold you till good-bye
Just to punch you in the face with nothing more
Then what all my anger bore
Its little head it started screaming
That we’ve heard this all before
So just open up the door
And fill your mouth with freedom’s feeling
But someone take control of me
I am trudging with my infantry
With my army and my enemies taking hold
Take off your clothes for the time has come for sleeping
Because everybody knows the world continues though
Whether or not you're still breathing
Fill this room up with the spirit of your pride
So that all the world can hear it go in vain
Oh, once again I'm cracked and empty, leaking
Trip into the drain, wait, I can explain
Inside myself that I am seeking
Little smiles
Every moment brings another wasted mile
Between everything and everything I need
Get up to leave, for the time has come for leaving
And if it don't succeed, we'll just bury all beliefs
That we could escape this empty evening
Someone take control of me
I am spinning in infinity
With my life its going endlessly from control
Take off your clothes for the time has come for sleeping
Because everybody knows the world continues though
Whether or not you're still breathing
Little child
I discovered you and hold you till good-bye
Just to punch you in the face with nothing more
Then what all my anger bore
Its little head it started screaming
That we’ve heard this all before
So just open up the door
And fill your mouth with freedom’s feeling
But someone take control of me
I am trudging with my infantry
With my army and my enemies taking hold
Take off your clothes for the time has come for sleeping
Because everybody knows the world continues though
Whether or not you're still breathing

Little Feat
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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
FYI, this song continues:
All I really wanted Was to be in your body I really wanna be in your body I wanna be inside you
He says that over and over again, but he clairified that it's not about sex, it's just about wanting to be in someone's head.
Arsehole. That's not 'wishful eyes', that's "Sailing Through". Anyone who says 'FYI' is a complete twat.
A few corrections:
"Fill this room up with the spirit of your pride"
"Trip into the drain"
"And if it don't succeed, we’ll just bury all beliefs that we could escape this empty evening"
"So just open up the door"
And it's not "the world continues though whether or not you're still breathing," but I can't figure out what it is he actually says. Same as the "Little child" verse.
"tentative-tentativ-tentatively titled"
i love the version of this song that i have, because magnum's explanation of the song in the beginning is priceless.
"i was bad back then, i was fucked."
i think this song is not about knowing what to do in life. you're stuck, know what you want to do something, but just can't get your actions in motion.
i have that version too! :]
oh, jeff.
Jeff is one of the few people who can get away with lyrics about punching a young child in the face.
huge overlooked masterpiece, too bad he never made another recording
