The Weakness

October Nites

Give it up for the weakness
I'm afraid I can't speak of this
The clock ticks and I'm out of time
I don't really wanna say goodbye

And I'm stuck in a phase
Don't wanna show it
I don't wanna let you know
I look away
I'm so tired
I don't wanna let you go

Ways too wasted
I'm so attached and I can't shake it
So exhausted I can't fake it
God just but I've got to make it

She's waking up in a liquor cabinet
She can't move and I can't stand it
She's waking up in a liquor cabinet
God just but she's got to have it

Give it up for the weakness
You don't wanna see me like this
The ground shakes and I can't feel time
I don't wanna see you lose that shine

So give it up for the last call
Another night up against the wall
Bloodshots and a scotch, no wine
This is gonna be my last goodbye

And I'm stuck in a phase
Don't wanna show it
I don't wanna let you know
I look away
I'm so tired
I don't wanna let you go

Ways too wasted
I'm so attached and I can't shake it
So exhausted I can't fake it
God just but I've got to make it

She's waking up in a liquor cabinet
She can't move and I can't stand it
She's waking up in a liquor cabinet
God just but she's got to have it

Wake me up tonight
I've been dreaming, screaming
I've been wasting my intentions on
Someone who won't hear this song
You can take my breath away
And I could leave this place today
And it's a long way home
And I'm scared to do this on my own

Ways too wasted
I'm so attached and I can't shake it
So exhausted I can't fake it
God just but I've got to make it

She's waking up in a liquor cabinet
She can't move and I can't stand it
She's waking up in a liquor cabinet
God just but she's got to have it (x2)

    Hey guys, it's Naren from October Nites. Just wanted to clear up a few lines in The Weakness

    CHORUS:

    Ways too wasted I'm so attached and I can't shake it So exhausted I can't fake it "CONSCIOUS" but I've got to make it

    She's waking up in a liquor cabinet She can't move and I can't stand it She's waking up in a liquor cabinet "CONSCIOUS" but she's got to have it

    VERSE #2:

    Bloodshots and a scotch, no "ICE"

    BRIDGE:

    And it's a long way home And I "aint" scared to do this on my own

    Thanks and much love!
    October Nites

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.

Amazing
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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
