Fear for the morning of a life in dream parade
Tears fall tomorrow, in autumn sun brigade

Fear...
Pain...
And the ever falling rain

Pray for the dawn when the colors start to fade
Swear by your God when all life is down the drain

Still...
Yearn for the everlasting flame

Turn to me,
Bless the sun,
All of this is sane.
Turn from me,
Start to run,
None of this is saved.

Life for the promise all fortune come today
Graceful we wander through a life of grey

Remember when the orchids dream
Try to save the blood that's falling from you
Will you be there in war and grief?
And try to speak the word of God?

Swear no remorse for the ones who lost their fate
Symbols of horror in handsome masquerade

Still...
No mortal soul to resignate

Wake from the coma you've chosen to create
Pay for your solace
And a life in vain

Still, call my name,
Drown your heart,
The orchid sky is dead.
Take my blame,
Fall apart in tides of no regret.
Kill the pain,
Hide the scars,
The orchids die now.

    A song about loss of faith, or about losing the desire to live. I'm inclined toward the former, but the latter is interesting too, as it employs a metaphor that life is a dream and to wake is death. I'm not sure about the significance of the orchids. The whispered passage starting with "Turn to me..." seems to be God giving the writer a choice - turn to me and accept all I have, accept this cruel world as sane, or turn from me and assure your own destruction."

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.
