I got a girl and her name is Mary
I like to shock her on a basis daily
I like to push you over into my stream
I like to point out that her teeth are green
I tell you stories that you won't understand
I'll have you eating from the palm of my hand
I'm gonna push you further into my dream
The back of every head hold something obscene

Ah ay ya ya
Ah ay ya ya

I get the feeling you're not ordinary
I got a head like falling masonry
I'll cut your strings, ah yes, a puppet machine
I watch you drop and fall apart at the seams
I meant to get you; let there be no doubt
You want to try and get your teeth knocked out
I'm gonna push you further into my dream
The back of every head holds something obscene

Ah ay ya ya
Ah ay ya ya

Ah ay ya ya
Ah ay ya ya
Ah ay ya ya
Ay ya ya

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
