This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Sister of mercy
As the sun goes dark and the wind blows silent
Are these just signs of the times
Sister of mercy
When the seas lay calm and all goes quiet
A storm, it comes to mind
A burning in my heart
Like a ring of fire
A yearning in my heart, yeah
Sister of mercy, wrap your arms around me now
Sister of mercy, come on won't you save me now
Yeah
Sister of mercy
In the wake of the flood, in the hurricane's eye
Please don't desert me
Mercy, mercy
I pray for the dove in hope she'll fly
'Cause we need a miracle now
A burning in my heart
Like a ring of fire
A yearning in my heart, well
Sister of mercy, wrap your arms around me now
Sister of mercy
In a rough and raging ocean there's a beacon in the storm
She'll send a light to guide you, that's my little sister
Like a worn and weary soldier in a silent tug of war
Ooh, she'll pull you through the darkness before the dawn
Yeah, alright, alright
Oh, sister of mercy
I'm no man of God, but I'm all for trying
I'm on my knees tonight
Oh, mercy, mercy
Cries a desperate man in his time of dying
Save me, just name you price
Yeah
Sister of mercy
Put your arms around me
Oh won't you save me, well
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me now
As the sun goes dark and the wind blows silent
Are these just signs of the times
Sister of mercy
When the seas lay calm and all goes quiet
A storm, it comes to mind
A burning in my heart
Like a ring of fire
A yearning in my heart, yeah
Sister of mercy, wrap your arms around me now
Sister of mercy, come on won't you save me now
Yeah
Sister of mercy
In the wake of the flood, in the hurricane's eye
Please don't desert me
Mercy, mercy
I pray for the dove in hope she'll fly
'Cause we need a miracle now
A burning in my heart
Like a ring of fire
A yearning in my heart, well
Sister of mercy, wrap your arms around me now
Sister of mercy
In a rough and raging ocean there's a beacon in the storm
She'll send a light to guide you, that's my little sister
Like a worn and weary soldier in a silent tug of war
Ooh, she'll pull you through the darkness before the dawn
Yeah, alright, alright
Oh, sister of mercy
I'm no man of God, but I'm all for trying
I'm on my knees tonight
Oh, mercy, mercy
Cries a desperate man in his time of dying
Save me, just name you price
Yeah
Sister of mercy
Put your arms around me
Oh won't you save me, well
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me now

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
