A second chance
Take a life
Another mission
To steal a kiss from borrowed lips
I taste your prison
It feels like a lifetime
Of leaving bodies on the sidelines

I swear to God girl you're never gonna regret this
Close your eyes this will only take a second
These veins are borrowed
This heart only beats for you

1, 2, 3, 4
Their shells disposable
Oh so expendable
Shut it, shut it
Shut it, shut it
Out of your pretty mind
They never cared for you

Here's our shot to insight a revolution
They don't deserve to live
We are our their evolution

These veins are borrowed
This shell is borrowed
A new life after death
It's fucking perfect
Don't you fear
They'll never hurt you darling
These veins are borrowed
This shell is borrowed

1, 2, 3, 4
Their shells disposable
Oh so expendable
Shut it, shut it
Shut it, shut it
Out of your pretty mind
How could you shed a tear?

Don't worry old girl
Dry the tears from your eyes
Something better is bound to come around sometime
Let's go

This face means nothing
These hands hold nothing
These lungs are empty
And these eyes are blind
This face means nothing
These hands hold nothing
But I'm here
This heart is yours

This face means nothing
These hands hold nothing
These lungs are empty
And these eyes are blind
This face means nothing
These hands hold nothing
But I'm here
This heart is yours
Our love never dies

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
