You came down, from heaven's throne
This earth You formed, was not your home
A love like this, the world had never known
A crown of thorns, to mock your name
Forgiveness fell upon Your face
A love like this, the world had never known

On the altar of our praise
Let there be no higher name
Jesus Son of God
You laid down your perfect life
You are the sacrifice
Jesus son of God
You are Jesus son of God

You took our sin
You bore our shame
You rose to life
You defeated the grave
And a love like this, the world has never known

'Cause you took our sin
You bore our shame
You rose to life
You defeated the grave
A love like this, the world has never known

On the altar of our praise
Let there be no higher name
Jesus son of God
You laid down your perfect life
You are the sacrifice
Jesus son of God
You are Jesus son of God

Be lifted higher
Than all you've overcome
Your name be louder
Than any other song
There is no power
That can come against your love
The cross was enough
The cross was enough

The cross was enough
The cross was enough

On the altar of our praise
Let there be no higher name
Jesus son of God
You laid down your perfect life
You are the sacrifice
Jesus son of God
You are Jesus son of God

On the altar of our praise
Let there be no higher name
Jesus son of God
You laid down your perfect life
You are the sacrifice
Jesus son of God
You are Jesus son of God

Be lifted higher
Than all you've overcome
Your name be louder
Than any other song
There is no power
That can come against your love
The cross was enough
The cross was enough

Be lifted higher
Than all you've overcome
Your name be louder
Than any other song
There is no power
That can come against your love
The cross was enough
The cross was enough

Be lifted higher
Than all you've overcome
Your name be louder
Than any other song
There is no power
That can come against your love
The cross was enough
The cross was enough

The cross was enough
The cross was enough
The cross was enough
The cross was enough

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.

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
