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”
i could feel you endlessly
if only i could manage to stay asleep
drawings are the pictures i don't wanna see
blue eyes in a sepia dream
watch out for the fire
lighter fluid fault inspired
contributes to my ire
the doors are shut and the straits are dire
your face could last forever
if only i could inhale for sure
the age-old adage of always wanting more
when achieved is such a bore
watch out for the fire
lighter fluid fault inspired
contributes to my ire
the doors are shut and the straits are dire
if only i could manage to stay asleep
drawings are the pictures i don't wanna see
blue eyes in a sepia dream
watch out for the fire
lighter fluid fault inspired
contributes to my ire
the doors are shut and the straits are dire
your face could last forever
if only i could inhale for sure
the age-old adage of always wanting more
when achieved is such a bore
watch out for the fire
lighter fluid fault inspired
contributes to my ire
the doors are shut and the straits are dire

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
shes saying how she can only be with him in her dreams so either it is an ex, or someone who has passed away. drawings are pictures i dont want to see. Nothing as is good as the real thing. in a drawing you cant truely see what was there. as in a pic is nothing like having a person there with you. Sepia is alot like black and white, so you cant see blue eyes in a dream of that sort.
victorian full is a really fancy house, thats how they usually advertise it. Shes burning the house with herself inside. She says your face would last for ever if only i couldn inhale for sure, meaning shell see him/her forever in her dreams. the doors are shut, she doesnt want to escape, shes doing it to herself.
old age of wanting more when achieved is such a bore, maybe she wants this person so bad since they are there. this is the i might regret this portion, shes so determined she doesnt mind.
This is what i get from the lyrics.
i usually tend to be good at song meanings.
if you need help with any others let me know, i like doing it.
much love,
leah
i've never heard this song, does anyone know where i could find it ???
wow i thought this song didn't exist until it popped up on limewire. it's really good. not really sure what it's about though :|
I thought this song was called Old Victorian on Brainerd Road.
I really like this song. didn't get the meaning of it, but what "Captain Chi" said may be right. makes sense, at least.
