[Verse 1]
See I'm scared for tomorrow, yet can't get over the past
And it seems like this smile is becomin' more of a mask
Can't rejuvenate the energy that I thought that I had
I'm losing vision of the place, I just been working to have
Just been guessing these questions
That have them pressing and stressing
My adolescents revolved around the same set of lessons
But I can't get it right
'Cause I've been losing sight
'Cause what's the point of dreaming, if you ain't sleeping right?
3AM and exhausted, but I'm just lying awake
Thinking of something to say, but I think I'm going insane
'Cause I can't live in the moment, when I've been stuck in my brain
I've been trying to change for the better, but everything's been the same
'Cause I don't know where I'm going, can't look back where I been
I don't believe in “meant to be's” 'cause I decide who I am
So I'm deciding to go, make the jump, give it all
'Cause happiness is made when you can smile if you fall
[Hook]
And I don't know, if things are gonna to last
I'm running crazy, and I know I'm gonna crash
So if I leave, will you remember me?
Or can we go back, to the way things used to be?
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Looking for that glimmer of light
Inside the darkest storm, an open war
Working towards that happiness I'm searching for
Repeating questions, like, "Will this ever happen?"
I'm stressing all the time, man, where's the satisfaction?
'Cause, believe me, I've tried
Feels like a thousand of times
That I, tell my Ma, it's coming, even with her doubtful eye
Should I set this aside?
Can someone give me a sign
'Cause am I chasing a future, or am I just wasting my time?
'Cause I'm full of doubt
And I can't get them out
I wanna give you everything, feel like I'ma drown
Place my heart into the fire
Now all I'm feeling is tired
I've been trying to set my mind higher
But can't stop losing desire
'Cause what if I never make it?
What if this doesn't work?
Second guessing every move, rewriting every verse
'Cause everything is just a maybe
And lately been running crazy
My vision's getting hazy
And I can't see what's ahead, am I gone?
[Hook]
And I don't know, if things are gonna to last
I'm running crazy, and I know I'm gonna crash
So if I leave, will you remember me?
Or can we go back, to the way things used to be?
See I'm scared for tomorrow, yet can't get over the past
And it seems like this smile is becomin' more of a mask
Can't rejuvenate the energy that I thought that I had
I'm losing vision of the place, I just been working to have
Just been guessing these questions

'Cause I've been losing sight
'Cause what's the point of dreaming, if you ain't sleeping right?

@[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
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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
