This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There's a telephone ringing in an empty room
And car brakes squealing
Distant traffic, constant sighing
Far-off voices mumbling
Vah-vah-vah, jet plane droning
Dogs barking, kitchens moaning
Dishes rattling in a sink
A screen door slams
Someone's laughing
Grass is being softly trembled
Heavy object dragged on gravel
Children screaming
My own heart beating
Fighting down the panic, panic, panic
Shapeless silhouettes slipping
Just out of sight
Car headlights screaming
Inescapable light
Telephone voice droning
The words can't be right
You were warm, even breathing
This Sunday last night
Lying formless faces
Turning away
Deaf lips fall silent
No words to say
If only they'd leave me
Perhaps you might stay
In my windowless room
Night turns to day
There's a crack in my walls
And it looks just like you
Sometimes my sheets are the hills of Arabia
But someone always pulls them down again
Now I think I can hear you
An inaudible sigh
In the mirror I see you're
In-betweening by
And I reach out to touch you
This must be a lie
I call out your name
But there is no reply
And car brakes squealing
Distant traffic, constant sighing
Far-off voices mumbling
Vah-vah-vah, jet plane droning
Dogs barking, kitchens moaning
Dishes rattling in a sink
A screen door slams
Someone's laughing
Grass is being softly trembled
Heavy object dragged on gravel
Children screaming
My own heart beating
Fighting down the panic, panic, panic
Shapeless silhouettes slipping
Just out of sight
Car headlights screaming
Inescapable light
Telephone voice droning
The words can't be right
You were warm, even breathing
This Sunday last night
Lying formless faces
Turning away
Deaf lips fall silent
No words to say
If only they'd leave me
Perhaps you might stay
In my windowless room
Night turns to day
There's a crack in my walls
And it looks just like you
Sometimes my sheets are the hills of Arabia
But someone always pulls them down again
Now I think I can hear you
An inaudible sigh
In the mirror I see you're
In-betweening by
And I reach out to touch you
This must be a lie
I call out your name
But there is no reply

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
