In the air we have a ball
From the darkness we have light
As a seed we become a plant
Through the weeds in a garden

We are
Black flowers
You started as a seed that was planted
Life on earth is what you've been granted

Now it's up to you to do
What you need to continue
Growing like a cultured pearl
Make the best of what you have
And travel down the lighted path

Sunshine on her very first day
She used to cry but now she's feeling okay
So she started walking 'cause her legs got strong
And wherever she ended and she could never go wrong

Hard times they used to have
Her mother raised them without their dad
She was so young but she's seen it all
They fought and struggled but now they stand tall

Black flowers shining bright
They're gonna make it through the night
Black flowers came so far
She'll never give up till she'll reach the top
Black flowers oh they're gonna make it

Knowledge is what we all need
That's the key to succeed
Leave those Substances alone
Those that are made and grown

Answers you'll find if you seek
Troubles and problems soon get weak
Priorities they must be straight
Bloom black flowers

Control your fate
Said I'll never gonna stop
Until I'll make it
She said I'll never gonna stop
Until I'll make it

Black flowers shining bright
They're gonna make it through the night
Black flowers came so far
She'll never give up till she'll reach the top
Black flowers oh they're gonna make it

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
