Long after midnight, on a night like this
I'd sit by my black light and dream of your kiss
Pulsating music filled my room and my head
And I dreamed what it'd be like to have you in my bed

I'm your best nightmare

And then it happened, you were in my arms
Your lips on my throat your hands on my, on my
Two bodies together the intimate sin
The pain and the pleasure could do mortals in
How could you know what I'm thinking of
To me lust can be as beautiful as love
Here tonight, your pure heart and soul
Untainted passion should have no control

She asked me if I
I told her the truth
I said I'm sorry it takes me longer than you
She smiled and blushed and continued to grind
And promised to make me go out of my mind

returning her promise she came to a halt
Licking my lips I tasted her salt
Then she sat up and gasped and clutched at her breast
I thought she was coming I'd never have guessed that
As she grew pale, as white as a flower
She collapsed to the floor and was dead in an hour

I'm your best nightmare

    I don't know that this song has any deep meaning . . . I think it's supposed to be a little funny. I mean, superficially it's basically about a guy killing a girl with sex.

    'She asked me if I... I told her the truth I said "I'm sorry it takes me longer than you"'

    A previous user connected these lyrics with love, but to me this song is all about lust ("To me lust can be as beautiful as love"), and these particular lyrics refer to coming during sex. Dirty, I know. ;) Anyway, he's "your best nightmare" because he's a good lay only his sex will kill 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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
