Paradise
Whatcha doin' tonight? (Whatcha doin', whatcha doin')
Have you heard that the world's gone crazy?
Young Americans listen when I say
There's people puttin' us down
I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy
To tell you the truth we've all seen better days
Don't need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun
Quick trick plans, take the money and run
We need long term, slow burn, getting it done
And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun
So whatcha doin' tonight (whatcha doin', whatcha doin')
I got faith in our generation
Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes
I ain't lookin' to fight
But I know with determination
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules
Come on take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
Big shots, crackpots bending the rules
A fair shot here for me and for you
Knowing that we can't lose
And we'll be rockin' in paradise
Rockin' the paradise tonight
Rockin' in paradise
Rockin' the paradise tonight
Tonight, tonight
Come on take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
Big shots, crackpots bending the rules
A fair shot here for me and for you
Knowing that we can't lose
And we'll be rockin' in paradise
Rockin' the paradise tonight (you know we're rocking in paradise)
Rockin' in paradise (you know we're rocking tonight)
Rockin' the paradise tonight (yeah we gnona rock)
Rockin' in paradise (rock, rock, rock, rock, in paradise)
Rockin' the paradise tonight
Rockin' in paradise
Rockin' the paradise tonight (come on, come on)
Whatcha doin' tonight? (Whatcha doin', whatcha doin')
Have you heard that the world's gone crazy?
Young Americans listen when I say

I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy

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

@[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
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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think this song is sorta like the who's My Generation, except with more energy, and a a deeper connection to the problems that were/actually still are around in the world. He's basically saying that everyone's calling his (the young) generation lazy, and he is saying back that his generation can (if motivated) band together and make the world a better place by standing up to the negative and immoral figures in society. Kinda weird how this song was written in 1978 and all the stuff it's about still applies today!
