From the nails in the cross
To the blood of the lamb
From the breaking bread
In the savior's hand

On a trick and a prayer
I'm the whole trinity
And you shall know
No other God but me

From the spoon and the flame
To the tied tourniquet
I am calling your name
I am lighting the way

I'll be the fire in your eyes
And the ache in your sleep.
And you shall know
No other God but me

I've heard all about your illusions
I know how you will always need to be
Held tight in the arms of retribution
So I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming
To set you free

From the bruise and the grip
To the ring and the kiss
You'll be biting your lip
But it all comes down to this

I'm the shadow you chase
I'm the sting when you breathe
And you shall know
No other God but me

Yeah, you, shall know
No other God but me

    I believe the third stanza to be:

    From the spoon and the flame To the tied tourniquet I am calling your name I am lighting the way

    All of these images are conducive to heroin use and drug addiction.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
