@[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.
It’s October again
The leaves are coming down
One more year’s come and gone
And nothing’s changed at all
Wasn’t I supposed to be someone
To face the things that I’ve been running from
Let me feel
I don’t care if I break down
Let me fall
Even if I hit the ground
And if I cry a little, die a little
At least I know I lived
Just a little
I’ve become much too good
At being vincible
I’m an expert at play it safe
And keep it cool
But I swear
This isn’t who I meant to be
I refuse to let my life roll over me
I wanna be somebody
Who can face the things that I’ve been running from
Let me feel
I don’t care if I break down
Let me fall
Even if I hit the ground
And if I cry a little, die a little
At least I know I lived
It’s October again
Leaves are coming down
One more year’s come and gone
And nothing’s changed at all
The leaves are coming down
One more year’s come and gone
And nothing’s changed at all
Wasn’t I supposed to be someone
To face the things that I’ve been running from
Let me feel
I don’t care if I break down
Let me fall
Even if I hit the ground
And if I cry a little, die a little
At least I know I lived
Just a little
I’ve become much too good
At being vincible
I’m an expert at play it safe
And keep it cool
But I swear
This isn’t who I meant to be
I refuse to let my life roll over me
I wanna be somebody
Who can face the things that I’ve been running from
Let me feel
I don’t care if I break down
Let me fall
Even if I hit the ground
And if I cry a little, die a little
At least I know I lived
It’s October again
Leaves are coming down
One more year’s come and gone
And nothing’s changed at all

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Why hasnt anybody commented his song? It's really good. I think that her One Tree Hill performance of Let Me Fall was amazing it was so TOUCHING. I think that it suits Hayley so well... And I have to say that the lyrics touch me very deeply....
I think bethany basically feels has a sfety net put round her by someone and and she wants it to be removed as she knows no one can be "invincible" from being hurt.
i agree with this comment. You can't always be "invicible" and i think she made that very clear in this song!
I think bethany basically feels has a safety net put round her by someone and and she wants it to be removed as she knows no one can be "invincible" from being hurt.
I think bethany basically feels has a safety net put round her by someone and and she wants it to be removed as she knows no one can be "invincible" from being hurt. And she would prefer to be hurt so she can learn how not to be in the future.
I think shes talking to herself in some ways. Like she set a target for herself the october before which was to take risks and stuff like that and she hasn't reached it and shes telling herself that she has to let go and not feel she has to protect herslef all the time. I can totally relate to this song. I love it. Bethany Joy Lenz rocks! And One tree hill is amazing!
okay.. I'm sorry and I know this isn't a huge deal.. but its HALEY not HAYLEY... so many people say that and it drives me INSANE hahaha :P ...
and I agree with others that this song is about just doing what you want to in life and that you don't care about what other people think or do about it... also that you just want to be youself and stop trying to be the person that you know deep inside your not.. :)
