The turns you had to take still keep you awake
Down come the walls where you once stood
From constant changes you have made
You'll keep inside til you have a say

We change as we get older
Were not to stay
The days we walked are over

Now we just drive away
From everything I know
You're counting days on the back of your hands
You turn the pages til you have no more plans

The only time you had to think of all the things involved
Came when you were least expecting
And now its up to us to replace it
To tell us when ages have made a difference
Cause changes tell just who we are

We change as we get older
Were not to stay
The days we walked are over

Now we just drive away
From everything I know
You're counting days on the back of your hands
You turn the pages til you have no more plans

Now were just miles away
From all that we could be
You're counting days on the back of your hands
We turn the pages

Remember the days you've counted won't be forgotten
I hope you won't leave yourself out
When we turn the pages

    I think this song represents the changes you go through when you grow up...

    every time i hear this song, i think of me and my friends... we know that eventually have to "drive away from everything we know" and go our seprate ways for a while. i dont know about them, but i am counting those days and trying to live them as the best days of my life... somewhere along those days, you make lots of changes but its like, i dont want to change anything just yet, because things are going so great like they are. i want to talk to them, but i put it off until there is so little time left, and it just kinda fires at you like "whoa... its actually like... over...?" and we finally talk.. and just kinda look over the past year, what we are leaving behind.

    and now we are finally changing ourselves to the people that we want to be, but we still remember those days before it all happened, so that even though we've turned the pages, we wont forget the last few sentences of that life before.

    its a bit comfusing... but thats what i think of every single time i hear this song... its my second favorite from the band, who is one of the best bands in the WORLD. i think remember when is my top fav.

    i think it's about a person that went through a hard time and changed alot but always looks back and stopped changing after a huge change and wants to stay in that phase, and everyone around that person keep changing and growing, and try to help their friend keep moving, keep 'turning pages' so they can live their life to the fullest

    this song has absolutely nothing to do with love and relationships its about growing apart from the things you know as you grow older things change you think of things differently from how you used to when you were less mature

    This song more than any of them reminds me SOOOO much of Acceptance.

    It's their best on the EP (aptly named after it too).

    This song could have something to do with giving up on love. Despite the changes and sacrafices people make in relationships, the once sturdy walls are coming down. Relationships grow and change as do the people in them-- theyre getting further and further away from what they know, and what they could be. Theyre just going further and further away from where they need to be to have a structured relationship and unfortunately, realized it "when they were least expecting" Ultimately, they realized that its over and they need to "turn the pages" and move on with their lives. When he says "I hope you wont leave yourself out When we turn the pages" he hopes that his past love can move on as well, like he did.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
