Open your eyes I see
Your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open

When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame

Always, I want to be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love

Melting the ice for me
Jump into the ocean
Hold back the tide I see
Your love in motion

When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame

Always, I want to be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love

    What this song means to me:

    Open your eyes I see Your eyes are open Wear no disguise for me Come into the open

    --The eyes symbolize waking up from a dream, and that when you wake up you can go out and chase your dreams.

    When it's cold outside Am I here in vain? Hold on to the night There will be no shame

    --There is no shame in chasing your dreams, even though in the end you will fail.

    Always, I wanna be with you And make believe with you And live in harmony, harmony oh love

    --Despite your impending doom, the singer still wants to make all your dreams come true.

    Melting the ice for me Jump into the ocean Hold back the tide I see Your love in motion

    --All you have to do is follow your heart, no matter what lies ahead, even if a fiery death awaits you!.

    When it's cold outside Am I here in vain? Hold on to the night There will be no shame

    --Even though you may have failed this time, all you have to do is press Z to chase your dreams again.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
