Resistance of irony,
In the way, don't stop.
Lack of sin for me,
It tares me so hopeless, so heartless
Say my name, it's over for me.

Tonight, I pray for the last time.
For you and for me.
And our ordinary lives, ordinary lies.

My pain, re-defined,
Like an unwelcomed guest,
Her eyes, just to remind me.

I'm there for you,
If you still want me, to fall after all.
I'm yours to keep, just come to me,
I'm waiting with my wounds wide open.

[Chorus:]
Pour your salt, into these wounds,
And watch me crawl.
Tell me to take it like a man.
Show me my place, hurt me just because you can.

Though now it hurts like hell,
It is better to keep that something.
Instantly, being that I'm sad, in tears.

So tell me now, how was he?
And tell me, was he worth it?
And the space is all I want,
Solid payment for the torn and tired one,
Down cast, wayward son.

Can't grow out of my hope,
So I'm making my hole,
Though I'm wise enough to dig no more.

Trying to wash off the pain stain,
Don't fill my heart with your disdain.
Why can't you see, and live with it,
Face what you ask of me?

[Chorus]
Pour your salt, into these wounds,
And watch me crawl.
Tell me to take it like a man.
Show me my place, hurt me just because you can.

Take me in and tell me you hate me,
Breathe with me, make love to me,
Until I bleed. How does it feel,
To know that you can break me?

[Keyboard Solo]

And I guess I'd forgive,
If I would not go weak,
And I knew you'd give yourself to me.

Though the wound is too deep,
I would give everything,
If I could just be the object of your desire.

(Guitar Solo)

Silently, you stood there before me.
Violently, unveiling your sin and your deceit.
You said to me:
"Love is only beautiful when it bleeds."

[Chorus]
Pour your salt, into these wounds,
And watch me crawl.
Tell me to take it like a man.
Show me my place, hurt me just because you can.

    My Interpretation

    It's pretty straightforward: a man ruminating on the constant heartache his ex causes.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
