Minipop

i'll climb with the lights out
oh, where to start?
i'll climb with the lights out
out in the dark

oooOoohoo

i'm sailing in the wind
on and on again
solitude is heartbreak

if only you could see...
I climb with the lights out
(if only you could see...)
I climb with the lights out
(if only you could see...)
I climb with the lights out
(if only you could see...)
I climb with you down, down, down, down...

(you say)
don't wait up (?) I will fight?
(he say)
don't wait up (?)

he lie, he lie, he lie

    My Opinion

    love this song! I just listened to it a bunch over and over to get the lyrics down and I think I liked it a little bit more each time. Not sure if this is a legitimate "correction" but it's how I heard them:

    I'll climb with the lights out (I know where to start) I'll climb with the lights out (alone in the dark)

    I'm sailing in the wind on and on again solitude is harboring x2

    if only you could see (I'll climb with the lights out) x3

    if only you could see (I'll climb with you down down down)

    he said don't wake up I'm fine he said don't wake up I am fine he lied he lied he lied

    Not sure what it all means, but very interesting when you consider the name of the song... I love her voice, she makes everything sound so sad and beautiful regardless of what she's saying. I personally got a lost/childlike vibe here, like she was hurt at being left behind.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
