@[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.
(Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses)
Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
I will be the one that’s gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is a burning, consuming fire
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
You know I'm never far
Hear my whispers in the dark
(whispers in the dark)
You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses
I will be the one that’s gonna find you
I will be the one that’s gonna guide you
My love is a burning, consuming fire
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
You know I'm never far
Hear my whispers in the dark (x2)
(whispers in the dark)
(whispers in the dark)
(whispers in the dark)
Your love is mine for the taking

I will be the one that’s gonna hold you

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
this song means to me that no matter what we do or where we go ,however wrong it may be(it's still wrong)that God will always love us and take us under his wing. This is tied for my favorite song ever with another song that means the same to me. Skilet is the band that will lead the revolution of christian bands that talk about god 24/7 and truly believe. I want to be like them. I like RK but they don't say right out how they feel about God. MAybe it is just because i can read into it but i think that if they talked like true christians(i am in no way saying that they aren't) then they wouldn't be where they are today. TV ,over 12 albums world famous. Now skillet on the other hand is saying how they feel right out. Now i am not proclaming to be a great christian or even good. I am not a model christian in ANY way. this is just what i think about skillet and especially this song. I like what elimy said about Jesus' blood. that makes perfect sense.
It's talking about God's love. simple as that. Best song ever
oh my gosh thankyou i thought i was the only one who knew!!!!!!!!!!!
@WhispersInTheDark, yezzir.
i love this song. its about God saying i will NEVER leave you. look! even when everything around you turns black, ill give you stars to get you through. God is always there just waiting for you. hes ready to take all your pain. all you have to do is go to him. and oh yeah. this song rocks.
A very cool song. I think it's about a strong love for a person you want to save from despair and loneliness. Kinda like what I'd like to do for my ex-girlfriend who's going through this the same way as I am after we broke up. I like the part "My love is just waiting, to turn your tears to roses,"
i agree that this song is about a relationship. it is definately not about christianity or God. this song reminds me of how a guy is really dedicated to a girl and he is going to help her through her life...
i love this song so much, it nearly made me cry when i first heard it.. as others have said i do believe it is about someone, whether it be a bf, gf, or God who really cares about this other person and wants to help them "Despite the lies that you're makin Your love is mine for the taking My love is just waiting To turn your tears to roses" i think this particular line is very important to the song and is saying that they know the one they care about is lying about being ok or fine or whatever (as lots of people do even when they arent) and they want to help, but cant till the other stops lying, but when they do stop lying, they'll be there to help take the hurt away with their love. very beautiful... p.s "When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars" my favourite line in the whole song happy listening :)
John Cooper: "Whispers In The Dark was just about feeling alone. There's a lot about loneliness on this album because when I look around our world with all the things that's happened with violence and wars and.. then natural disasters that have been happening, all the people that are feeling alone and feeling that they're going through all these things themselves and they don't have anybody to lean on. So I wrote a lot about loneliness and Whispers In The Dark is about, basically, when you do feel alone and you look around and there isn't anyone around and you think, 'That's it, nobody's there,' it's a song saying I will be there - you may not see Me all the time, but I am gonna be there. That was a very spiritual song in its intent that could be God talking to a person saying, 'It might seem like you're alone during all these hard times, but you're not.'"
Oh and a little add...does seem like a sequel to Savior. Very cool. :)
how could you say that jk <br /> they have total different meanings though<br /> but u r right in a way
However, being a huge fan of Skillet, I read up on this song and it talks about how God wants a relationship with you if you will only accept the gift He is offering you. John Copper is not talking about a girlfriend or a relationship besides his relationship with God and how God loves us so much that He wants to speak to us and show us the best plan for our lives. This is the gist of what John Copper said about this song.
@Adrenalinne, I agree. they could've called it SAVIOR: PART II when they released it as a single and it still would've been awesome.
Hey guys. Skillet is like my favorite band ever.At the last concert I went to I asked the lead singer what this song meant. He told me that this song was about Gods love for us. So I just thought Id share that with yall
No offense but who says yall
@dukemt41, the lead singer is from tenessee.
This song is about god as they are Christians...and the chorus relates to John 8:12 in the bible I think..also I believe he says "know you'll never be alone when darkness comes you know im never far hear my whispers in the dark" but like most songs it could be your own interpretation thats why they are made
i think this song means that when you are going thrugh a hard time, God will always love you and hold you, no matter what you've done in the past."despite the lies that your makin" and "i will be the one thats gonna hold you" and "when darkness comes, ill light the night with stars" i think means that when life just seems so oppressive, God will brighten your life with something that to most people seems like nothing special, but to you can lift you up.
