Cashing in on rainchecks, I live
Withdrawn from surroundings
I’m trying to feel, but it’s not very rich
Nothing stays golden

Yesterday is in the past
But tomorrow I don’t see coming
We have a gift, a new today
But I’m so sick of the present
This is the end of what we used to know
I’m breathing just fine, but am I alive?
I'm living safe as a lonesome soul
But I’m dying to feel so much less alone
I’m reaching out but I’m feeling nothing

As heavy hearted as a feather with no wind
Broken-hearted
Moving in circles
Like an angel with one wing

Yesterday is in the past
But tomorrow I don’t see coming
We have a gift, a new today
But I’m so sick of the present

This is the end of what we used to know
I’m breathing just fine, but am I alive?
I'm living safe as a lonesome soul
But I’m dying to feel so much less alone
I’m reaching out but I’m feeling nothing

I’m still there, walls surrounding me
I’m still there with bricks others have thrown

This is the end of what we used to know
I’m breathing just fine, but am I alive?
I'm living safe as a lonesome soul
But I’m dying to feel so much less alone
I’m reaching out but I’m feeling nothing

This is the end of what we used to know
I’m breathing just fine, but am I alive?
I'm living safe as a lonesome soul
But I’m dying to feel so much less alone
I’m reaching out but I’m feeling nothing

This is the end of what we used to know
I’m breathing just fine, but am I alive?
I'm living safe as a lonesome soul
But I’m dying to feel so much less alone
I’m reaching out but I’m feeling nothing

Reaching out but I'm feeling nothing

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
