Que a força do medo que tenho
não me impeça de ver o que anseio
que a morte de tudo em que acredito
não me tape os ouvidos e a boca
pois metade de mim é o que eu grito
a outra metade é silêncio

Que a música que ouço ao longe
seja linda ainda que tristeza
que a mulher que amo seja pra sempre amada
mesmo que distante
pois metade de mim é partida
a outra metade é saudade.
Quer as palavras que falo
não sejam ouvidas como prece nem repetidas com fervor
apenas respeitadas como a única coisa
que resta a um homem inundado de sentimentos
pois metade de mim é o que ouço
a outra metade é o que calo

Que a minha vontade de ir embora
se transforme na calma e paz que mereço
que a tensão que me corrói por dentro
seja um dia recompensada
porque metade de mim é o que penso
a outra metade um vulcão

Que o medo da solidão se afaste
e o convívio comigo mesmo se torne ao menos suportável
que o espelho reflita meu rosto num doce sorriso
que me lembro ter dado na infância
pois metade de mim é a lembrança do que fui
a outra metade não sei

Que não seja preciso mais do que uma simples alegria
pra me fazer aquietar o espírito
e que o seu silêncio me fale cada vez mais
pois metade de mim é abrigo
a outra metade é cansaço

Que a arte me aponte uma resposta
mesmo que ela mesma não saiba
e que ninguém a tente complicar
pois é preciso simplicidade pra fazê-la florescer
pois metade de mim é platéia
a outra metade é canção.
Que a minha loucura seja perdoada
pois metade de mim é amor
e a outra metade também

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
