I can rewrite history so far as it only applies to me. This subjectivity is a sick ubiquity. For as long as I keep my thoughts on the inside and don't confide, it doesn't matter where belief resides. It can be a brambled bush of thoughts, a vortex. Made by meaning in my own private cortex. So I can be correct and say I'm always right, because I define the truth in me, no matter what the light and how it shines on in angles both flattering and not. From the top, I can scarcely see the object is full of rot. If the logic at the core is found to have a fatal flaw, then who's to claim it's not our minds that have been crippled since the start? It's frightening, right? We have this pre-conception of space and time so the world fits in the lines of what we know. But take those blinders off for perspective's sake and we can't even comprehend where senses or memories go. Because time ceases to exist or displace us, not to mention the utter lack of dimensions. We're caught in this frame of seeing through pre-programmed eyes, seeing shapes and lines existing where they might not otherwise.

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.

Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
