I ache, it's opening my soul (My soul)
I ache, it's opening

Speak what we feel
And not what we ought to say
Well, I'm forever young
And you're forever you
So much to say
But nothing to hide
Oh oh oh oh oh
Please open it all

Soft voice
That whispers lies
Who do I lay beside?
Soft voice
Soft voice
That whispers lies

Well, I don't want to see it anymore
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore
But I won't be played a fool
Well, I don't want to see it anymore
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore
But I won't be played a fool

Did you count how many times
The words left my mouth?
So many times I was pressed
On top
You never pushed me off
As much as it hurts to admit
You just

Well, I don't want to see it anymore
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore
But I won't be played a fool
Well, I don't want to see it anymore
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore
But I won't be played a fool

No matter how hard you'll try
These words won't save me
Please stop
To mind your space
Soft hands that would ruin lives
And eyes that would burn
Fall to your knees

You pretend not to see our problems
Because they form inside you

Well, I don't want to see it anymore
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore
But I won't be played a fool
Well, I don't want to see it anymore
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore
But I won't be played a fool
Well, I don't want to see it anymore
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore
But I won't be played a fool
Well, I don't want to see it anymore
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore
But I won't be played a fool

    I think in the beginning, it's "it's opening my soul" and then "soft hands that would ruin lives"

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
