Give me reason to stay here
Cause I don't wanna live in fear (don't wanna live in fear)
I can't stop the rain
But I can stop the tears
Oh I can fight the fire
But I can't fight the fear

No more, I just can't live here
No more, I can't take it, can't take it
No more, what do we stand for
When we all live in fear

Give me a reason to believe
Cause you don't wanna see me leave
I can't stop the rain
But I can stop the tears
Oh I can fight the fire
But I can't fight the fear

No more, I just can't live here
No more, I can't take it, can't take it
No more, what do we stand for
When we all live in fear

No more, I just can't live here
No more, I can't take it, can't take it
No more, what do we stand for
When we all live in fear

    To me, I think this song is about how he can control the smaller things in life but he can't control the bigger things in life "I can't stop the rain but I can stop the tears".

    He's had enough of living in fear hence the song title "no more". He can't control the fear say if it's about a relationship or whatever, he's deciding to move. "Give me a reason to stay, coz I don't wanna live in fear".

    Well that's what it is to me. Powerful song indeed.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.
