There's a strange grown man in a creepy coat
In the bathroom mirror, he knocked me down to the floor
I don't know him, I don't know him

There's an aging man with a narrow face
He's been following me around for days
I don't know him, never met him

And my pulse kept beating (I was on standby)
All the days repeating (I was on standby)
And my pulse kept beating (I was standby)
All the days repeating

I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place, where I could get away

There's a strange grown man with a few gray hairs in my own twin bed
I don't think he belongs there, no, I don't

And my pulse kept beating (I was on standby)
All the days repeating (I was on standby)
And my pulse kept beating (I was standby)
All the days repeating

I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place, where I could get away

I thought I'd have a good wife to kiss me good night
Or a fast car, to run from danger
My own place, where I could get away

Hey now, hey now, hey now
We run away now, away now, away now
Where we can escape now, escape now, we can escape now
Hey now, hey now, hey now
We run away now, away now, away now
Where we can escape now, escape now, we can escape now

I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place, where I could get away

I thought I'd have a good wife to kiss me good night
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place
To run from danger, my own place
To run from danger, my own place

    Heard this song probably a million times but now I think it's about trauma something had happened to him.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
