We Don't Need It

Anti-Flag

lost on the street because you dont know what to do
there's something in your heart that's coming over you
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!
it takes you back to a better time and place
the leaders of this world have shortchanged the human race
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!

(chorus)
we've spent our lives living in their past
now we're building- building a new future (x2)
we've spent our lives living in their past
one look at their world and it prompts these words,
"WE DON'T NEED IT!"

the state of The State, it makes you feel sick
back stabbing, dollar driven, status quo shit!
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!

(chorus)

i been thinking about the sad state of the world
don't you know it starts with you and that it starts with me?!?!
this is the new fucking millennium...
we're going to turn the world upside down!
it's time to show some true humanity
and time to show we truly care...
for the world, for eachother, for those we've known...
through all our years...

    This song is a great one, one of my favorite Anti-Flag songs. Follow you heart, every single day! I love the part when it goes "Take a good look at the sad state of the world"....so true.

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.

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.

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.

American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
