Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
This time I'm taking it away, I've got a problem
With me getting in the way, my violent side
so i take my face and bash it into a mirror
i wont have to see the pain.
Bleed, bleed!
This state is elevating as the hurt turns into hating
anticipating all the fucked up feelings again
the hurt inside is fading
this shit's gone way too far
all this time i've been waiting
oh i can not grieve anymore
for what's inside awaking
I'm done, I'm not a whore
you've taken everything and
oh i can not give anymore
My minds done with this
okay i've got a question
can i throw it all away
take back what's mine
so i take my time
riding the blade down the line
each cut, closer to the vein
this state is elevating as the hurt turns into hating
anticipating all the fucked up feelings again
My hurt inside is fading
this shit's gone way too far
all this time i've been waiting
oh i can not grieve anymore
for what's inside awaking
im done, im not a whore
you've taken everything and
oh i can not give anymore
I'm here to stay (bring it down)
Bring it down!
Bringin' it down
gonna break it down
Bringin' it down (repeat)
gonna BREAK IT
This state is elevating as the hurt turns into hating
anticipating all the fucked up feelings again
the hurt inside is fading
this shit's gone way too far
all this time i've been waiting
oh i can not grieve anymore
for what's inside awaking
I'm done, I'm not a whore
you've taken everything and
oh i can not give anymore
give anymore
With me getting in the way, my violent side
so i take my face and bash it into a mirror
i wont have to see the pain.
Bleed, bleed!

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Light Up The Sky

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Holiday

@[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 LOVE this song. I have gone through that exact phase of fantasizing about suicide... this song sounds soo optimistic to me.(It makes me feel better when I know I'm not alone) But the lyrics are about what he's thinking. It's like a story: so he starts off by saying he's got a problem with his "violent side" which I think he is referring to his anger. He hates himself: "I've got a problem/ With me getting in the way" "so i take my face and bash it into a mirror/ i wont have to see the pain" I picture him standing in his bathroom staring at himself at the mirror fantasizing about "bashing" his face into the mirror so he "wont have to see the pain" (on his face[I think he might have been crying])"the state is elevating as this hurt turns into hating" He is saying his "pain" (as in a deep sadness) is turning into anger.. and he is "anticipating all the fucked up feeling again" (probably all the evil things he wants to do to the ones that put him in this state) "the hurt inside is fading" he is calming down from raging and now he is thinking more logically "this shit has gone too far" "all this time i've been waiting/ oh i can not grieve anymore/ for what's inside awaking/ im done, im not a whore" He was waiting for better days & he's tired of sitting around crying but now he has finally realized he doesnt have to take this sht from anyone. "you've taken everything and/ oh i can not give anymore" He has wasted so much time and effort on these people and he is finally done with them because he is completely drained. "My minds done with this" (I've made up my mind) So then he starts contemplating if giving up on them would benefit him: "okay i've got a question/ can i throw it all away/ take back what's mine" so all the while he has probably been cutting himself then he starts fantasizing again about completely giving up(commiting suicide): "so i take my time/ riding the blade down the line/ each cut, closer to the vein" (I get a vibe off of this that he feels he is slowly going mad) but after contemplating this over and over again he decides: "I'm here to stay" (yay! happy ending; he doesn't kill himself)
you rock bro!!!!...
