I've been sittin
With the weight of the world
On my shoulders
And I'm feelin' like the sweat
Off the back of some slave
Layin' tracks with the sun in his eyes
And I'm drifting
Down the path of the swamp
That I've swallowed
And I'm beating off the scales
That belong to a snake
Come at me with blood in his eyes

But hey it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Ya know I made it through
Another day

Well I'm steamin'
As I wade through the broth
In the belly of an overripe monkey
Who screams with disease
As the worms crawl in through his eyes
And I'm bleedin'
Through the cracks in my face
As I wallow through the salt of rejection
That eats through my knees
Reaching in to pull out my spine

But hey it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Ya know I made it through
Another day

Well I know I'm headed for a breakdown
I know the time is right
I know I'm headed for a breakdown
I know the time is right
But yeah
You gotta keep on pushin' forward
'Till you reach the risin' sun

But hey it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Ya know I made it through
Another day

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
I made it through another day.

Well I know I'm headed for a breakdown
I know the time is right
And I know that she will come to me

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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
@[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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
