He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Some kind of evidence
Some kind of reason
Why I can't find a way
To begin my life
Somewhere in this dying day
If I can only find a way for my escape
I find it hard to concentrate with all my past mistakes
To begin my life
(I-i-i-i can't feel my faith, can't recall my crime
I think I sealed my fate, along the way I may have lost my mind
I guess we're all damaged in our own way, alone in our own way
Distant headlights, desolate highway
I can't feel my faith, can't recall my crime
I think I sealed my fate, along the way I may have lost my mind
I guess we're all damaged in our own way, alone in our own way
Distant headlights, desolate highway)
Sun doesn't rise at all
Who knows how far I'll fall
Sun doesn't rise at all
Who knows how far I'll fall
With eyes wide open
(Can't recall my crime, think I sealed my fate)
I can watch my world evolve
(Alone in our own way, I think I sealed my fate)
Nothing left to die for
(Can't recall my crime, I think I sealed my fate)
Thoughts inside can make me crawl
(Think I sealed my fate)
Make me drop down on my knees
Break me down until I question me
Darkness can't destroy my drive
Sun doesn't rise at all
Who knows how far I'll fall
Sun doesn't rise at all
Welcome my downfall
(Sun doesn't rise at all)
(Somewhere in this dying day, as I plan my great escape
I find it hard to concentrate while you think you control me now
Fade and falter, empty altar, all I gave I pray it makes me whole
I think the brink's around the corner
There's an error in my soul
I can't feel my faith, can't recall my crime
I think I sealed my fate, along the way I may have lost my mind
I guess we're all damaged in our own way, alone in our own way
Distant headlights, desolate highway
Sun doesn't rise at all
Who knows how far I'll fall
Sun doesn't rise at all
Who knows how far I'll fall
I can't feel my faith
Can't recall my crime
Damaged in our own way, alone in our own way
Desolate highway

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
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.
a song about a post apocalyptic world where all man follow the christian god and he decided to feel a different way and was banished for it and is forced to live with being alone it seems like the sun will never rise again because he'll never find another human willing to talk to him in his entire life
do not condemn me for i am insane
Wow you completely took your own eccentric world view and slapped it on to a song that has nothing to do with it.
