This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
No perception of passing time
The words struggle to escape her mind
New perspectives to redefine
Birdsong awakens her from the storm
Shuffle the sequence of old paradigms
The rhyme and metre still misaligned
Another page lay burning in the fire
The ink and the feather hold their secrets well
Nightingale
I dream in daylight
One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravelled
I'm ever of the chosen
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem
Poetic justice arriving after all
When characters and places start to form
A sullen emperor endures his requiem
Can he live with this lament?
A mechanical animal
A dangerous game
That clockwork song it sings
Will send you to your grave
Now heed the nightingale's cautionary tale
Away, away, for I will fly to thee
One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravelled
I'm ever of the chosen
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem
One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravelled
I'm ever of the chosen
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by the totem inside
Dig in with your claws
I push my talons into your skin
Heal me with your song
You are forgiven for all your sins
Dig in with your claws
Sleep now in blissful anaesthesia
Heal me with your song
Still no perception of passing
Nightingale
I dream in daylight
Nightingale mine
See me take flight
One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravel me
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by the totem
One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravel me
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by the totem
The words struggle to escape her mind
New perspectives to redefine
Birdsong awakens her from the storm
Shuffle the sequence of old paradigms
The rhyme and metre still misaligned
Another page lay burning in the fire
The ink and the feather hold their secrets well
Nightingale
I dream in daylight
One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravelled
I'm ever of the chosen
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem
Poetic justice arriving after all
When characters and places start to form
A sullen emperor endures his requiem
Can he live with this lament?
A mechanical animal
A dangerous game
That clockwork song it sings
Will send you to your grave
Now heed the nightingale's cautionary tale
Away, away, for I will fly to thee
One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravelled
I'm ever of the chosen
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem
One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravelled
I'm ever of the chosen
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by the totem inside
Dig in with your claws
I push my talons into your skin
Heal me with your song
You are forgiven for all your sins
Dig in with your claws
Sleep now in blissful anaesthesia
Heal me with your song
Still no perception of passing
Nightingale
I dream in daylight
Nightingale mine
See me take flight
One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravel me
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by the totem
One fateful night
Unspoken binds unravel me
My signal fire still burning
I feel like I'm guided by the totem

Holiday

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I believe this song to be inspired by "The Nightingale" (Danish: "Nattergalen") which is a literary fairy tale written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen about an emperor who prefers the tinkling of a bejeweled mechanical bird to the song of a real nightingale. When the Emperor is near death, the nightingale's song restores his health. Well received upon its publication in Copenhagen in 1843 in New Fairy Tales. First Volume. First Collection, the tale is believed to have been inspired by the author's unrequited love for opera singer Jenny Lind, the "Swedish nightingale". The story has been adapted to opera, ballet, musical play, television drama and animated film.
