I am the air on your lungs
and the blood in your veins.
I am all the voices you hear,
and i will never go away.

The deafening sound you hear
is coming straight from your mouth.
Choke on your words your so shallow.
Bite your lip!
Bite your lip when you hear it.
hold your tongue.
You gotta hold your tongue.

Don't be so blind.
Time is not on our side.
Look me straight in the eyes.
Do not say you will be alright.

Put it all on the line
and for a minute the earth will stand still.

I am the ghost,
the ghost in the mirror that re creates,
painting your soul with every color you hate.

I am the voices that you hear
and the decisions you make.
I am the air that you breath
and I will never go away.

I will not carry you through.
Is that what scares you the most?

My friend, you fooled yourself again,
into thinking it's real.
They can not save you like I can.
They can not make you feel.

Swimming in regret
but the water is much too deep.
This is your very last breath,
Chose your words carefully.

I am the ghost,
the ghost in the mirror that re creates,
painting your soul with every color you hate.

I am the voices that you hear
and the decisions you make.
I am the air that you breath
and I will never go away.

Save yourself from the lies that brought my father to his knees!

OH!
Don't be so blind!
Time is not on our side!
Look at me straight in the eye!
Put it all!
Put it all on the line!

    Yes I agree this album is flawless =] I love this song because there is no definite meaning. One minute it could be one thing, and the next another. I love songs like that =]

    I think this song is about the internal battle of good and evil. Just my interpretation.

    In my opinion its talking about the people behind the scenes running our country and industries.. "save yourself from the lies that brought my father to his knees! Oh dont be so blind! Time is not on OUR side. Look at me!! Straight in the eyes!! Put it all.. put it all on the line!" Also.. i am the air in your lungs.. and the blood your veins.. i am the voices in your head.. thats the corprate media controlling everything you know today.. swimming in regret!! This is your very last chance.. choose your words carefully!! This (to me) points at the new world order that is very real and exists in our government.. just like every president promises to be our savior.. yet even Obama who dont get me wrong i wanna like the guy hes charasmatic a good speaker innocent smile.. but hes a FRAUD! Every and i mean EVERY promise hes made he has done the opposite even minutes into being elected.. thats my point of veiw on this song

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
