I know there's something that your dying to tell me
I hope its not about your future male

Make sure no-one finds out
Tell me all about it
Don't keep it to yourself
Because I have bear the thought
I know you'll leave me crying
I know you'll find me
It doesn't matter because I'll make you crawl

I know that you're ashamed
So ashamed that is kills you
Don't you know that you're ashamed
So much that it kills you

There's always something that makes you guilty
This is something that your dying to tell me

Make sure no-one finds out
Tell me all about it
Don't keep it to yourself
Because I can't bear the thought
I know you'll leave me crying
I know you'll find me
It doesn't matter 'cause I need you so

I know that you're ashamed
So much that it kills you
Don't you know that you're ashamed
So much that it thrills you

    Perhaps its about somebody who's delusional...and thinks this other person loves them and is just so sure about it when in fact their feelings are completely neutral.

    That's always the vibe I got from it anyway, because the song never confirms that this person has the emotions...just that he 'knows' that this person loves him.

    But who knows what the crap this guy thinks about.

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.

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.

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.
