These streets they are so cold
I've been freezing here for days
I've been longing for your company
Like the sun you've cast astray
Well it's lonely in these bones
There's no feeling in this face
If you look into my eyes my dear there's no hope for saving grace

Oh is it lonely where you are tonight?
Oh is it lonely for you?

So every night I shout at the moon, shout at the moon
I'm walking with a stranger chasing shadows in my room
Yeah every night I shout at the moon, shout at the moon
I'm holding on to questions I don't know the answers to
And now hold on to me if you love me
Do you love me?
'Cause every night I shout at the moon, shout at the moon

So we'd wander on our own
Chase the night and seize the day
Waste no time for insecurity in the life that creates
So I thought you wouldn't have me any other way
But that didn't seem to be okay
So you walked out, out of everything we had and I find myself alone

So every night I shout at the moon, shout at the moon
I'm walking with a stranger chasing shadows in my room
Yeah every night I shout at the moon, shout at the moon
I'm holding on to questions I don't know the answers to
And now hold on to me if you love me
Do you love me?
So every night I shout at the moon, shout at the moon, woah

Oh

Every night I shout at the moon, shout at the moon
'Cause every night I hold on to you, hold on to you
And now hold on to me if you love me
Do you love me?
'Cause every night I shout at the moon, shout at the moon
(Shout at the moon, shout at the moon)
'Cause every night I shout at the moon, shout at the moon
(Shout at the moon, shout at the moon)
Yeah every night I shout at the moon, shout at the moon
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
