I'm a little curious of you in crowded scenes
And how serene your friends and fiends
We flew and strolled as two, illuminated gently
Why don't you close your eyes and reinvent me?

You know you've got that heart made of stone
You shoulda let me know
You coulda let me know
We'll go till morning comes
And traffic grows
And windows hum
Spending all week with your friends
Give me evenings and weekends
Evenings and weekends

I could be yours
We can unwind
All these half-floors
All these half-floors

You'd agree it's a typical high
You fly as you watch your name go by
And once the name goes by
Not thicker than water, nor thicker than mud
And the 8K thuds it does

Sun set so thickly
Let's make it quiet and quickly
Don't frown
It tastes better on the way back down

I could be yours
We can unwind
All these half-floors
All these half-floors
All these half-floors
Will lead to mine

We are the curious

While I roam
Stick me down
Stick me, stick me down

We can unwind
All these half-floors
All these half-floors
Will lead to mine
We'll see to
All these half-floors
All these half-floors
We'll see to
All these half-floors
Will lead to mine
We can unwind all our floors
We can unwind all our floors
We can unwind all our floors

    He has two voices inside him like two very different personalities, one speaks softly, kindly speaking to his lover about his desires. Yet the other part is full of rage, like Gollum and Smeagol, thinks they (two personalities in one body) are left curious and neglected. He is stuck in the middle, can’t go and stay upstairs. He wants to go upstairs to solve all the confusion, to unwind, but the other part won’t let. The dark part seems easy to get rid of but he is talking all the time like an AK assult rifle, sometimes meaningles, he hears the voices all the time. And also the soft part thinks the other half is a “flaw”, too and “all these half flaws” will lead to his (flaw) in the end.

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.

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.
