How many tears can you count on your fingers?
How many diets can you do to get thinner?
How many wishes can you make while you're praying?
How many times have you heard them all saying

Hush little babe, don't overreact
Keep it all in and hold it all back
Hush little darling, time to save face
Give it some time, go down with some grace?

All across the nation
Put your hand up if you're faking
Say it out loud
Woah

Cause the only medication
For a heart that knows it's breaking
Is to get it out now
Say it out loud, woah

When was the last time that you could be honest?
Do you feel bad now you broken your promise?
How many times do you say you're gonna leave him?
You beat yourself up, cause all you keep hearing

Hush little babe, don't overreact
Keep it all in and hold it all back
Hush little darling, time to save face
Give it some time, go down with some grace

All across the nation
Put your hand up if you're faking
Say it out loud
Woah

Cause the only medication
For a heart that knows it's breaking
Is to get it out now
Say it out loud, woah

Let's take a minute
Make it stop, let me off
Make the beat drop, strip it all back
Till it's pitch black, where the stars fall

Take a minute
Drop me off, back to the start
Start of my heart, feel it in my bones
I'm feeling right at home, say it out loud

All across the nation
Put your hand up if you're faking
Say it out loud
Woah

Cause the only medication
For a heart that knows it's breaking
Is to get it out now
Say it out loud, woah

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
