This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Today, we stood on the wall
We laughed at the sun
We laughed at the guns
We laughed at it all
And when they
They told us to go
We paid them no mind
Like every other time
But little did we know
Today, I looked for a sign
With flames in my hands
A line in the sand
Between yours and mine
And it came like fire from below
Your greed led the call, my flag had to fall
But little did you know
Another day, your truth will come
You're gonna pay for what you've, pay for what you've done
You’ll get what’s yours and face your crime
You're gonna give me back what's mine
Give me back what's mine
I had never been a coward
I had never seen blood
You had sold me an ocean
And I was lost in the flood
We were counting on a leader
We were driven by need
But couldn't take temptation
And we were blinded by greed
You were steady as a sniper
We were waiting on a wire
So we never saw it coming
When you ran from the fire
You can try intimidation
And you can try to ignore
But when the time comes calling
Yeah, you are gonna get yours
Another day, your truth will come
You're gonna pay for what you've, pay for what you've done
You’ll get what’s yours and face your crime
You're gonna give me back what's mine
Give me back what's mine
And so today, your truth has come
You’re gonna pay for what you’ve, pay for what you've done
You’ll get what’s yours, you’re out of time
And you will give me back what’s mine
Give me back what’s mine
Give me, give me back what's mine
What's mine
Give me, give me back what's mine
What's mine, what's mine
Give me back what's mine
Today, we stood on the wall
We laughed at the sun
We laughed at the guns
We laughed at it all
And when they
They told us to go
We paid them no mind
Like every other time
But little did we know
We laughed at the sun
We laughed at the guns
We laughed at it all
And when they
They told us to go
We paid them no mind
Like every other time
But little did we know
Today, I looked for a sign
With flames in my hands
A line in the sand
Between yours and mine
And it came like fire from below
Your greed led the call, my flag had to fall
But little did you know
Another day, your truth will come
You're gonna pay for what you've, pay for what you've done
You’ll get what’s yours and face your crime
You're gonna give me back what's mine
Give me back what's mine
I had never been a coward
I had never seen blood
You had sold me an ocean
And I was lost in the flood
We were counting on a leader
We were driven by need
But couldn't take temptation
And we were blinded by greed
You were steady as a sniper
We were waiting on a wire
So we never saw it coming
When you ran from the fire
You can try intimidation
And you can try to ignore
But when the time comes calling
Yeah, you are gonna get yours
Another day, your truth will come
You're gonna pay for what you've, pay for what you've done
You’ll get what’s yours and face your crime
You're gonna give me back what's mine
Give me back what's mine
And so today, your truth has come
You’re gonna pay for what you’ve, pay for what you've done
You’ll get what’s yours, you’re out of time
And you will give me back what’s mine
Give me back what’s mine
Give me, give me back what's mine
What's mine
Give me, give me back what's mine
What's mine, what's mine
Give me back what's mine
Today, we stood on the wall
We laughed at the sun
We laughed at the guns
We laughed at it all
And when they
They told us to go
We paid them no mind
Like every other time
But little did we know

Holiday

@[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.

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,
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.

Today we stood on the wall Standing atop of a metaphorical wall, and being elevated as the best earth has to offer. We laughed at the sun A metaphor for not taking global warming seriously. We laughed at the guns How it was thought implausible that war could affect their lives. We laughed at all Mocking the very thought that any of life's many random injustices or natural events or human caused tragedies may affect them in any way. And when they told us to go The protagonists comes and warns that they go out and be more proactive in what they can do for their planet and humanity as a whole. We paid them no mind, like every other time But still, they ignore these warnings, thinking they're invincible. But little did we know They were willfully ignorant to all their plights.
Today I look for a sign The protagonist is looking for some evidence that there is still reason to believe in humanity. S/he is nonplussed at the fact that so many scoff at all of the problems affecting the world today. With flames in my hands A metaphor for taking action instead of standing idly by. The flames are the motivations to affect the outcome. A burning desire to do what is right. A line in the sand The divide between the protagonist and those who had laughed at the sun, and everything else. Between yours and mine The line in the sand, between those who care and those who do not. And they came like fire from below Incredibly, there are those who know of the problems yet wish to impede progress due to their own self interest. This is a boiling point for the protagonist. Ergo, the fire down below. Your greed led the call The aforementioned "they", greed over progress. My flag had to fall The pressures that those in power endow upon those who hope to make a difference is much too overwhelming. You can not be victorious without being in the elite or without the money or influence to inflict change. But little did you know The greedy are either ignorant or willfully ignorant that their power is only temporary. Take global warming for example, it will affect them in many ways and they will not have any way to buy themselves out of the many disasters that may arise.
Well written.
I didn't write it. It was written by a user from a Linkin Park forum called "LPAssociation".<br />
Haha i didn't even notice.
No problem xD
The song is about realising something to late, for example global warming as was said before. They are standing on a wall, laughing, and don't see what is coming. Later, the catasrtophe comes over them (global warming, a war...) and they have to pay for their blindness and their greed. In the end, they are standing where they stood before. The dynamic of the song matches the lyrics very well since they are louder when the catastrophe has come and more quiet in the end.
this song... it is my fav song on THP.
woah woah, hold up, problem in these lyrics. i'm pretty sure it's "you're gonna give me back what's mine" not "you tell them give me back what's mine"
