This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Do you wanna be a poet and write
Do you wanna be an actor up in lights
Do you wanna be a soldier and fight for love
Do you wanna travel the world
Do you wanna be a diver for pearls
Or climb a mountain and touch the clouds above
Be anyone you want to be
Bring to life your fantasies
But I want something in return
I want you to burn
Burn for me, baby
Like a candle in my night (I want you to burn)
Oh, burn
Burn for me, burn for me
Are you gonna be a gambler and deal
Are you gonna be a doctor and heal
Or go to heaven and touch God's face
Are you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps
Are you gonna be a sinner who weeps
Or an angel under grace
I'll lay down on your bed of coals
Offer up my heart and soul
But in return
I want you to burn
Burn for me, baby
Like a candle in my night (I want you to burn)
Oh, burn
Burn for me, burn for me (me)
(Oh) I want you to burn, baby
(Oh) oh
Laugh for me, cry for me
Pray for me, fly for me
Live for me, die for us
I want you to burn
Burn for me, baby
Like a candle in my night (I want you to burn)
Oh, burn
Burn for me, burn for me, yeah
(Burn for me) oh yeah, I want you to burn
I want you to burn (like a candle) for me, baby, ooh yeah
(I want you to burn) burn for me, yeah
Yeah, I want you to burn, I want you to burn (like a candle)
For me, baby, (I want you to burn) oh yeah, burn for me
Do you wanna be an actor up in lights
Do you wanna be a soldier and fight for love
Do you wanna travel the world
Do you wanna be a diver for pearls
Or climb a mountain and touch the clouds above
Be anyone you want to be
Bring to life your fantasies
But I want something in return
I want you to burn
Burn for me, baby
Like a candle in my night (I want you to burn)
Oh, burn
Burn for me, burn for me
Are you gonna be a gambler and deal
Are you gonna be a doctor and heal
Or go to heaven and touch God's face
Are you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps
Are you gonna be a sinner who weeps
Or an angel under grace
I'll lay down on your bed of coals
Offer up my heart and soul
But in return
I want you to burn
Burn for me, baby
Like a candle in my night (I want you to burn)
Oh, burn
Burn for me, burn for me (me)
(Oh) I want you to burn, baby
(Oh) oh
Laugh for me, cry for me
Pray for me, fly for me
Live for me, die for us
I want you to burn
Burn for me, baby
Like a candle in my night (I want you to burn)
Oh, burn
Burn for me, burn for me, yeah
(Burn for me) oh yeah, I want you to burn
I want you to burn (like a candle) for me, baby, ooh yeah
(I want you to burn) burn for me, yeah
Yeah, I want you to burn, I want you to burn (like a candle)
For me, baby, (I want you to burn) oh yeah, burn for me

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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 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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
I can't believe there are no comments. This song is just so good! She wants someone to long for her, to want her so badly. I love it.
