I got the key to open all the gates I see
I want this power inside of me
This passage is full
Of different gates I see

Just try to be yourself

Try to destroy all what you feel inside

Take and hold this hand
What you feel inside
Is another dream
Want you give me a part?
Let me say you're truly raspy
But I'm living to discover your soul

Just try to be yourself

You've got to be strong
Live in an harder way
Now

Take and hold this hand
What you feel inside
Is another dream
Want you give me a part?
Let me say you're truly raspy
But I'm living to discover your soul

And I know you're scared about the life that comes

(Look in the mirror the fear is a part of you)

Stronger and strong
I'll help you to choose the way
Can't you let me go
Away

    It is often difficult to be yourself and do things your own way while others have expectations of you.

    I agree with what everyone says. But I think its a song about trying to help someone who is stuck in a situation where they need to be strong inside and be themselves.

    I just hate how people (including myself) expect others to understand them when they don't show who they really are! What stupid expectations! If we all dumped the false appearances, then life would be easier. Everybody is a universe, a dream, and everything in the world is a symbol and perception to an idea on the reality inside our hearts. I think a weak person needs to admit to their weaknesses and move on. That's strength. The person in the song isn't like that, and they are too preoccupied with fears. People need help with making choices sometimes. The only choice they have to make though is to be their own leader, and themselves.

    To me, this song is about inner strength. The person that's inside the soul is the inner voice that will help make the right decision, but do you let her go and trust your instincts or let doubt take over?

    Of course you're scared -- everyone is. But do you have the strength to make the right decision?

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.

Mountain Song
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."

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.

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.
