Stranger in me

I stared alone as I looked at you
That I become no one but two
You think That you understand my mind
But there's another heart inside..

Hiding behind watching you think is only me
You seem so blind, How will you ever see?

Chorus:

It's Complicated -- It's complicate
not clear to see -- not clear to see
My personality is stranger to me
Is not related -- It's not relate
How can this be?? -- How can this be??
My personality is stranger in me
stranger in me
stranger in me
in me....

Was Side by side in the cincel's draw
I get the feeling that it won't be long
We seem alone in this misty cloud
But there's a stranger here somewhere

Hiding behind watching you think is only me
You seem so blind, How will you ever see?

Chorus:

It's Complicated -- It's complicate
not clear to see -- not clear to see
My personality is stranger to me
Is not related -- It's not relate
How can this be?? -- How can this be??
My personality is stranger in me
stranger in me
stranger in me

Guitar Solo and keyboards

Hiding behind watching you think is only me
You seem so blind, How will you ever see?

Chorus:

It's Complicated -- It's complicate
not clear to see -- not clear to see
My personality is stranger to me
Is not related -- It's not relate
How can this be?? -- How can this be??
My personality is stranger in me
stranger in me
stranger in me
in me...

La La la la, la la la la, La La la la La la la la la la la... (x2)

    i see this song as being about having an identity crisis, like having two personalities- not like bi-polar, but when you get so mixed up and don't really know who you are anymore. how people around you think they have you sussed, but behind your awkardness or false confidence lies someone completely different who badly wants to be accepted. 'We're side by side and the sense is strong I get the feeling that it won't be long We seem alone in this mist and glare But there's a stranger here somewhere' Seems like the person is about to do something rash and reveal a side to their personality that the other doesn't know about... i love this song, totally identify with it.

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
