This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I thought you'd come back
At least I prayed (so I prayed)
The romance has been dead for years
But I've been too afraid
To dig the grave (so I prayed)
Relief, support, never came
Memories carry me through the days
Of when we were kids
And angels came to watch us play
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
A movie that plays in my mind
Remembering you helps me survive
Every day a re-run of the next
I promised to stay by your side
That all would change
I can't complain
Another victim of the game
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
Maybe love will find us again
For there is always tomorrow
Sincerely 'til the end
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
You'll be a memory
At least I prayed (so I prayed)
The romance has been dead for years
But I've been too afraid
To dig the grave (so I prayed)
Relief, support, never came
Memories carry me through the days
Of when we were kids
And angels came to watch us play
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
A movie that plays in my mind
Remembering you helps me survive
Every day a re-run of the next
I promised to stay by your side
That all would change
I can't complain
Another victim of the game
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
Maybe love will find us again
For there is always tomorrow
Sincerely 'til the end
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
You'll be a memory

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this song is nothing less then amazing, i've been listening to it on repeat for days now.
i love it
This Song Describes When Shit Hit The Fan and All You Want To Do is Wake Up And Wish What Happend Never Happend.
They are the most amazing hardcore band I have ever heard. I still haven't gotten a chance to see them live though. It does make it even more amzing that they ARE a Christian band, when most of the listeners are of a secular world. Most the time Christian bands get labeled as "lame" just because they are God inspired, and never get the chance to voice their music because of the prejudices of the blind secular world.
i second that
i listen to it 3 times a day or the day just doesnt feel right.
its quite obviouse if you read these lyrics that this song is nothing short of amazing . . . .
I jst started being an Underoath fan, and obviously the lyrics are nothing short of amazing and nothing more than beautiful.
It's so strange, hating the relapses of love. So many emotions against but for one thing. Pure. No words can describe, wow this sang is amazing.
This song is truely amazing, it has impacted me greatly, and tells me exactally what my feelings are. I recently got dumped, so it hurts. This song is the best
I just saw underoath in pittsburgh, and they really are an amazing band....their songs are so deep, and they are truly one of the best hardcore bands out there
