Throwaway Kids

The Virus

When you have nothing and life is ripping at the seems
You watch your hope and pride just go slipping with your dreams
Everything you knew and loved means nothing to you now
When no one's around

Cause this an anthem for the kids out on the streets
Throwaway kids
Who haven't got no money and have nothing left to eat
Throwaway kids
Broken hearts and broken homes will be sure to get you down
Fight, fight
But nevertheless the world keeps spinning around

Realize the biggest lie they told you was love
Though life might seem hopeless it's not a curse from above
When you feel no connection to the people out on the street
Just getting by seems like an impossible feat

Cause this an anthem for the kids out on the streets
Throwaway kids
Who haven't got no money and have nothing left to eat
Throwaway kids
Broken hearts and broken homes will be sure to get you down
Fight, fight
But nevertheless the world keeps spinning around

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
