Isolated

Chiasm

Isolated
Alone apart

I'll never crawl again
I'll never fall again
Until I'm free

Here I stand in this room
Caged and trapped inside
Seems I'm damned to live a lie

Unaware of what's outside
Should I care
For what's left me behind

And I stare at light that makes me blind
Internally there's nothing left for me to be
I'm here alone
And isolated

Have no choice but be isolated
Struggling left alone apart
Pushed aside made segregated
Struggling left alone apart
See I have no choice but be isolated
Threatened forced to extract the heart
Pushed aside made segregated
Have no choice but be isolated

The monsters make me hide
Perhaps I'll eat myself alive
Internally what is there left for me to be

I can't care for what's left me behind
And stare at light that makes me blind
These broken walls trap me inside
I'm isolated

Have no choice but be isolated
Struggling left alone apart
Pushed aside made segregated
Threatened forced to extract the heart

I'll never crawl again
I'll never fall again
Until I'm free

And I stare at light that makes me blind
Internally there's nothing left for me to be
I'm here alone and isolated

    I feel like it's about being unaccepted possibly, or hated, and then pushed aside because of being unwanted by others, so they'd be forced to be alone in their mind and body. Sounds like they hurt themselves mentally with the thoughts of past imagined or real inadequacies, and they feel cripple by this. I'm assuming that by saying 'until they're free', they mean suicide..? Maybe running away from the oppressive atmosphere in some sort of form, that might take their mind away.

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
