Fight

You're afraid
Like I make my deals with the devil
You've been at it for years
But couldn't reach that next level
Let's keep it real
This is no competition to me
Even if everyone around you acts
Like they don't see

(Oh) is anybody else listening?
Outta sight, outta mind
Is what you'll always be
(Oh) I hold my cards to my chest
I laid my life on the line
So I expect nothing less from you

I speak the truth
And everybody else knows it
So set your ego to the side
And just get the fuck over it
Can't waste my time
On hateful people like you
So keep wishing you were me
And I'll keep making you have to

(Oh) was anybody else listening?
Outta sight, outta mind
Is what you'll always be
(Oh) I hold my cards to my chest
I laid my life on the line
So I expect nothing less from you

I just cant believe
Its really come to this
Because without me
You would not exist

Hey, hey
Still got somethin' left to say
Only one in the world
I depend on is me
I need nothin' from no one
I take what I need
Get a hold of yourself
And keep away from me

(Oh) is anybody else listening?
Outta sight, outta mind
Is what you'll always be
(Oh) I hold my cards to my chest
I laid my life on the line
So I expect nothing less from you

    The song is about how other bands are always trying to compete with them and prove who is the best. The bonus DVD of the album explains it with Jeremy's commentary on every song.

    Paul Reveres Midnight Ride vs. 2nd Sucks A Day To Remember and Four Year Strong were both supporting acts for New Found Glory. During the tour A Day To Remember got more publicity than Four Your Strong. A Day To Remember and the tour organizers asked For Year Strong to change times so that they could perform longer. Four Year Strong refused and started an angry rivalry. This two songs are written about that fight between Four Year Strong and A Day To Remember.

    I'm liking the new stuff quite a bit, both this and "All I Want", but I have to admit I'm quite disappointed lyrically. Not to say "Homesick" was a lyrical masterpiece by any means, but it definitely felt personal and heartfelt. Both songs released thus far just sound like generic rock lyrics, to be honest.

    This song is about Four Years Strong. They have a strong rivalry because they have very similar sounds. I know this for a fact because Kevin Skaff is a friend of mine and I heard it from him and Jeremy on the bus one day before a show. So there ya go. SUCK IT Four Years Strong!

    Jeremy said it in the What Separates Me From You Track Commentary, what the song's about, here's what he said:

    “This song is, uh, directly about people that kind of look at being in a band in our whole lifestyle that we live and they look at it is like a competition, you know, kind of thing. ‘Cause that’s just not the kind of band we are and I realize that we’re all trying to make a living out of it and stuff, but you know. I mean, the way we look at things is we do what we wanna do and we don’t really care what anyone thinks, we’re just really fortunate that kids like what we do, you know, so, I mean, we just kind of do what we want and we try to have a good time like when we play shows, with what we do on stage and stuff like that and uh, sometimes a lot of these more serious bands don’t take kindly to that and, I don’t know, we had some run-ins with people and we’re just trying to, you know, be nice and you know, be good people on the road, just trying to hang out. People take shit way too seriously and you know, that’s what that song’s about. You do you, I’ll do me, ‘cause I’m happy and they’re not.”

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.

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.
Album art
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
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.
