I feel this, this tension inside of me
Pressure is presently pushing down on me
The first time it starts with just you and I
Repeating myself but you don't hear me

I can see what you see
But is it worth it to me?
The same old conversation
Over and over and over

I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you surprise
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, it's over

You've taken these things that belong to me
Twisted so tightly and torn so carefully
The last time it ends with just you and I
Alone in a room with these torn bed sheets

I can see what you see
And it ain't worth it to me
The same old conversation
Over and over and over

I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you surprise
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, it's over

You swore I'd regret it
Now thanks to you I can't forget it
Cost of this constant battle
Won't even miss you at all
Free from this life that you call...

I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you surprise
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, It's over

I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you surprise
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over
It's over

    umm.. got a few corrections, on the chorus where it says "sick of seeing you so much" i think its supposed to be "sick of seeing your suprise", twisting is supposed to be twisted, and im pretty sure "And i alone in a room with the torment these" is something else but im not sure what :)

    I agree with applejuicy. The "And alone in a room with these torment these" is supposed to be torn bed sheets. And it's supposed to say "Safe to say you surprise" instead of sick of seeing you so much.

    This song helped me make the decision to break up with the girl that I was in the longest relationship I've had. I was getting sick and tired of the lies she would tell, I finally saw through her and saw that she was nothing but a person who was chock full of problems that I didn't want to have on my back because I have my own problems to deal with, I got (and still am) tired of seeing her, and coincidentally, i had to tell her it was over 3 times before she left me alone. I definitely relate to this song! Thanks.

    I have one other correction to add: The first Pre-chorus says "I can see what you see BUT IS IT WORTH IT TO ME? The same ol conversation over and over and over"

    The second Prechorus goes the way you have it, but the first on is alittle different.

    Now, I'm confused exactly what he's trying to say in this song... I mean I get the basica jist of it, but I'm not sure if its about just a chick that lies to you all the time and makes you miserable, or if its about a guy who left this chick and is still having trouble with it. If its the first one, I can relate to it, if its the second, I can't.

    I just unearthed this song when I was looking for a totally different one. I love this song and Id completely forgotten about it. I always listen to Default when Im pissed off coz I love how the lead singer sings it and its hard to understand what hes saying but you just can. Since I found it I havent listened to anything else.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
Album art
Dreamwalker
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
