What else should I be?
All apologies
What else could I say?
Everyone is gay
What else could I write?
I don't have the right
What else should I be?
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married
Buried

I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest to salt
Everything's my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn, freezer burn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married
Married
Married
Buried, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are

    @mostly90s \r\nYou\'re almost right.\r\nSunburn freezer burn choking on the ashes of her enemy is someone that has been beaten into the ground so hard core that they\'re a freezerburned sunburn, choking on the ashes of her enemy.\r\nIt\'s desperate suffering.\r\nBut he\'s not saying everyone has homoerotic feelings. Because of where he was in the world, he knew the truth, that humans ARE naturally gay and this heteronormative society is something rulers created to get peasants to create cannon fodder exponentially.\r\nAnd worst of all, he has sold himself, raped himself, and he is the image of masculinity all peasants aspire to. He IS the sellout that caused all his persecution.\r\nHe hates himself for it so much he can\'t deal.\r\nSo he\'s saying all in all is all we are because... He had his good points, too but he just can\'t reconcile what he\'s become.\r\nIt is absolutely his suicide note.\r\nNo one knows this but all celebrities are gay. Every relationship we hear about is just a PR arrangement. Like he and Courtney were. Frances is a petri dish baby. Like all celebrity kids.\r\nWhen you make it and realize every heterosexual character you\'ve ever seen was played by a publicly closeted, out gay person, you begin to see that heterosexuality only exists among the subjugated peasants. If you follow his career, it\'s obvious he was gay. Why would two straight men make out on SNL to piss off homophobes?\r\nBut he became part of the heteronormative illusion that brainwashes peasants. He couldn\'t live with it.\r\nAs for final judgement, while I wish he hadn\'t killed himself, the fact that he couldn\'t live with it tells us he WAS a better person than all the others who so comfortably lie through their teeth every time a camera rolls.\r\n

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
