Can you see the line where the water ends?
Throws itself off into oblivion.
As sky goes so complacent
And then spits a little compassion.
Dusk approaches, the city's carnivorous.
*Moisture's* sweat like it once would eat us
And devour everything but this mouth
Sings of this glorious fetus.
Tucked deep inside the rafts of blood.

Everywhere it seemed that there's a memory.
Sometimes memories kill me.
As I travel the avenues of the streets
And shadow deli's of this fucking city.
Everyday day it seem to love a little less.
Seem to love to chew on my calmness.
And drive me to the end of myself
Where he is.
Dispose of me.

You're like a man without skin.
Everything he touches seems to hurt him .
And he says maybe I'm just a person.
But I'll be for you if you let me.

All I want is animals to be free.
Run around and fuck right out in the street.
Every day they're gonna want to eat me.
But I'll try not to take it personally.

And is there no love in this city?
Can someone have just a little pity?

You're like a man without skin.
Everything that touches seems to hurt him.
And he says maybe I'm just a person.
But I'll be for you if you let me

Just like a man without skin
Everything he sees seems to touch him
And he says that the one who watches over me
I'll stand alone let god make a trade.

Come on, baby.
Penetrate me.
You go so deep,
So deep in me.
Is there no love in this city?
Could someone have just a little pity?

'Cause we're tucked deep inside the rafts of blood

You're like a man without skin.
Everything that touches seems to hurt him.
And he says maybe I'm just a person.
But I'll be for you if you let me.

Just like a man without skin,
Everything he sees seems to touch him.
And he says that the one who watches over me.
I'll stand alone let god make a trade.

Penetrate me.
Penetrate me.

Can you see the line where the water ends?
Throws itself off into oblivion.
As the sky goes so complacent
Then spits a little compassion

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
