This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
And I'm frustrated with myself
But I can't change
I don't want to be me anymore
And all of the tics & tocs & clicks of clocks
That tell the time tell me this is just a phase
And everything every day
That's been scraping away
At the side of my brain
Can't come to form a thought, except...
And all the thoughts I think I've saved
Here for days that remain
Just keep eating away
And I still can't sleep, sing...
Why can't you tell me what I wanna hear
To help me get some rest
Oh my darling dear?
The songs of the birds
Don't bring me calmness no more
Oh no, no they don't sing
And none of the girls seem to think you're cool
It's probably because you smell bad
A skin disease won't get you
Nowhere these days
It's true, it's sad but true
And everything every day
That's been scraping away
At the side of my brain
Can't come to form a thought
And all of the thoughts I think I've saved
Here for days that remain
Just keep eating away
And I still can't sleep I sing...
We're going to make plans
We have plans to make plans
We're going to do it right
We've locked it in our sights
I'll la-dee-da & they can dum-dee-day
We'll tra-la-la all night and day we'll go far
And if I write enough
And think about it it'll happen
It's not as tough as mom said
As it so happens
Your analyst lied to you when
She told you the truth
About boys, fear, open sores
And things that are simple
Like opening doors
And all the thoughts I think I've saved here
For days that remain
Just eat eat eat away
And I still can't sleep, sing...
But I can't change
I don't want to be me anymore
And all of the tics & tocs & clicks of clocks
That tell the time tell me this is just a phase
And everything every day
That's been scraping away
At the side of my brain
Can't come to form a thought, except...
And all the thoughts I think I've saved
Here for days that remain
Just keep eating away
And I still can't sleep, sing...
Why can't you tell me what I wanna hear
To help me get some rest
Oh my darling dear?
The songs of the birds
Don't bring me calmness no more
Oh no, no they don't sing
And none of the girls seem to think you're cool
It's probably because you smell bad
A skin disease won't get you
Nowhere these days
It's true, it's sad but true
And everything every day
That's been scraping away
At the side of my brain
Can't come to form a thought
And all of the thoughts I think I've saved
Here for days that remain
Just keep eating away
And I still can't sleep I sing...
We're going to make plans
We have plans to make plans
We're going to do it right
We've locked it in our sights
I'll la-dee-da & they can dum-dee-day
We'll tra-la-la all night and day we'll go far
And if I write enough
And think about it it'll happen
It's not as tough as mom said
As it so happens
Your analyst lied to you when
She told you the truth
About boys, fear, open sores
And things that are simple
Like opening doors
And all the thoughts I think I've saved here
For days that remain
Just eat eat eat away
And I still can't sleep, sing...

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
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I agree with Clap_Your_Hands... Its probably hands down the best on the album. Well maybe, cause a few could challenge it but still this song is so amazing.
