Time to Go

Keane

Now, during a scene
Seen it all before
We drink, we drink a little much
Drink a little more
To shake off the nerves and
To take off the edge and
Now is there any way back home?

Seen it all before and
I know the signs
We drink, drink a little much
To stimulate the mind
Now it's two hours to go
Insult everyone that we know
Now it's such a long way home

Maybe it's time to go?
Maybe it's time we went?
You're making a spectacle
Maybe its time we left?

I don't wanna spoil your night
I don't wanna hurt your pride
But maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time?

Now eating from your hand
Laugh at every line
Soon losing track of you
Losing track of time
Now it's dead on the dancefloor
And nobody's laughing anymore
Have I become a tiresome bore?

Maybe it's time to go?
Maybe it's time we went?
Your'e making a spectacle
Maybe it's time we left?

I don't wanna spoil your night
I don't wanna hurt your pride
But maybe it's time to go?
Maybe it's time?

To go where theres nowhere to hide
From whats broken inside
A faultline rips right open
Under the wide wide ocean's tide
Under the wide wide ocean

Maybe it's time to go?
Maybe it's time we went?
You're making a spectacle
Maybe it's time we left?

I don't wanna spoil your night
I don't wanna hurt your pride
Maybe it's time to fly
Maybe it's time?

Maybe it's time to go?
Maybe it's time?

    Sweet first comment. I think it's about two people at the end of a relationship just going throught the motions but just not breaking up with each other yet. And now one of the is thinking about ending the relationship

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Indigo
Of Mice & Men
This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

System
Mel And Kim
Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning. This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive. She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started. There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.
