If you could see me now, blended in like a ninja
You'd wonder why you bothered
How someone, somewhere is already bored of you
And all I can ask, when I get back, that you could
Leave
The light on if you're not staying out

She says it's written in the stars
But I don't look at the stars anymore
I just want someone to die for
You're as good, you're as good as anyone
The right lighting and a little less distant
How distance eroded you
Did doubt fill up your shoes with problems you could
Dance to?

You should be wary what you listen to
How every song you love will turn into one note
That echos on everything, one note

Sweaty kids on pills aren't kids anymore
You're 24 and still chewing your insides out

We don't care what your scene's about
So many shows and no one turns out
All the girls in the front row stare at your hands
All the guys at the back bar talking shit about our
Band

You should be wary what you listen to
How every song you love will turn into one note
That echos on everything, one note

Some party scenes I wish to god I never walked in on
Some unmarked cars I wish I never stepped out in front
Of
You let that guy in your house
And now your house is on fire
And now your house is on fire

Took all your strength to hold your tongue
You have to make your own mistakes to make you learn
You almost prayed for a sudden ending
One note

    If you could see me now, blending in like a ninja You'd wonder why you bothered Well someone, somewhere is already bored of you And all I can ask, when I get back, that you could leave the light on if you're not staying out

    She says it's written in the stars, but I don't look at the stars anymore I just want someone to die for You're as good, you're as good as anyone The right lighting and a little less distant How distance eroded you Did doubt fill up your shoes with problems you could dance to?

    You should be wary what you listen to How every song you love will turn into one note That echos on everything, one note

    Sweaty kids on pills aren't kids anymore You're 24 and still chewing your insides out We don't care what your scene's about So many shows and no one turns out All the girls in the front row stare at your hands All the guys at the back bar talking shit about our band

    You should be wary what you listen to How every song you love will turn into one note That echos on everything, one note

    Some party scenes I wish to god I never walked in on Some unmarked cars I wish I never stepped out in front of You let that guy in your house And now your house is on fire And now your house is on fire

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
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.
