Liars
shape my frown
i see through you words
stone done like a hound
liars
faceless clowns
i see through your herds
all swimming to the shore

picaroon you come so soon
youve taken all i had
my tolerance echausted
pain a picture only using

lying to the faces that make you
a less lonesome man
picturing a way of life where fear
and hate could not appear
can it be? this life to lead. Well nothing seems to clear

whar are we doing here?
swamped in fear
what are we doing here?
fear
brings death. brings fear
what are we doing here?

five thousand more lies are laying in
the mist
not suitably equipped
lesson of the day you grey betray
lesson of the day lesson of the day
of the day
you only betray you only betray
lesson of the day
you only betray you only betray

was it a so called man. with a so
cold plan
well i dont want to be another
television lamb, television lamb
television lamb

fear (brings death brings fear)
what are we doing here?
swamped in fear
what are we doing here?
fear
brings us death and then that makes
more fear
is this how its mean to be for you
and me?

lying to my face again you never
found yourself

somthing telling me that things may have
gone too far
warning the next hell ball in your
quagmire

fear of the, fear of the fear of the
fear of the fear of the feare of the
fear of the fear of the fear of the
fear
picturing the ship you sank
try to make me walk the plank

picaroon you come so soon
youve taken all i had
my tolerence now exhausted
paint a picture only using

lying to the faces that make you a
less lonesome man
picturing a way of life where fear and
hate could not appear
can it be? this life to lead well
nothign seems too clear

what are we doing here? swamped in fear
what are we doing here?
fear
brings us death and then makes
mor fear
is this how its meant to be?

    My Opinion

    Absolutely incredible drumming in this song. I love how he intersperses those certain cymbals (I have no idea what they're called but they sound awesome) throughout this song.

Cajun Girl
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
@[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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
