I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

She walks in like she owns the venue
Better than you, your beneath her
This young girl’s the queen of Ibiza
Raves for 24 just like Kiefer
So fit, you wanna get underneath her
She carries an ether
That aint quite right, she looks quite high
But this young girl don’t smoke de reefer
Nope, she might be a girl
Who from a distance just couldn’t look sweeter
Head to toe, good to go,
Virtually every centimetre
You’d like to meet her, take her home
Fill her up with your testosterone
But you wont get a chance to score
There’s a reason she wears her shades in doors
(Why?) If you look closely
There’s something not right with her jaw
She’s chewin her face like a carnivore with a piece of meat,
And furthermore
Remove her glasses from her face
This females lost in space
Lost her sight, her eyes aint right
Eyeballs painted black not white

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I could not foresee this thing happening to you

She leans forward, whispers slowly
You’ll need one of these if you want to know me
I look in her hand, spot a tablet
Should I just grab it or leave alone
I look at her friend even she’s a clone
Of Ibiza’s female Al Capone
Must live off a heart of stone
Far too fit, I take the bait
Swallow whole the forbidden fruit
My heart starts racing, pacing,
The taste is awful absolute
World turns black and I see the truth
Whatever I took weren’t ecstasy
I look at the dude stood next to me
He sweats too his eyes are pitch black
Now I want to switch back
I’m disenchanted
Never take gorgeous girls for granted
One of her pills wíll leave you tarnished
Colour those eyes with a murky varnish
She’s built an army
Taking trips beyond the darkness
Gorgeous but ruthless her
Father must be Lucifer

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I could not foresee this thing happening to you

Until the darkness goes

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.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
