Looked down from a broken sky

Traced out by the city of lights

My world from a mile high

Best seat in the house tonight

Touch down on the cold black-top

Hold on for the sudden stop

Breathe in the familiar shock of confusion and chaos

All those people going  somewhere, why have I never cared

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see,

Everything that I keep missing,

Give your love for humanity.

Give me your arms for the broken-hearted

The ones that are far beyond my reach.

Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten.

Give me Your eyes so I can see.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Step out on the busy street.

See a girl and our eyes meet.

Does her best to smile at me.

To hide what's underneath.

There's a man just to her right

Black suit and a bright red tie.

Too ashamed to tell his wife he's out of work, he's buyin time.

All those people going somewhere, why have I never cared.

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see,

Everything that I keep missing,

Give your love for humanity.

Give me your arms for the broken-hearted

The ones that are far beyond my reach.

Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten.

Give me Your eyes so I can see.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I've been there a million times

A couple million lives

Just moving past me by, I swear I never thought that I was wrong

But I wanna second glance so give me a second chance

To see the way you've seen the people all along

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I keep missing

Give your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken-hearted

The ones that are far beyond my reach

Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten

Give me Your eyes so I can see

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I keep missing

That I keep missing

Give me your arms for the broken-hearted

The ones that are far beyond my reach.

Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten

Give me Your eyes so I can see.

Brandon Heath is a contemporary Christian songwriter and one of my absolute favorite songs is one of which he wrote. It is called "Give Me Your Eyes" and it was recommended to me by one of my best friends, and I only found out that it was about God when I looked up the meaning of the song! This song has won 3 awards in the 49th GMA Dove Awards, and One Emmy, all in 2009. Brandon Heath was kind of a troubled kid, and he says that he found out his calling in life through God and found forgiveness in Him and learned to forgive others in the same way. "Give Me Your Eyes" is about a man (presumably Heath) who is wandering about in the darkness without the light of God in his life, and is just making it hard on himself, but when he finds what he needs with God, he begins to see that he can be saved and is, in a way.

Just let go
Don’t even hesitate a little
Just let go
You know
That I’ll hurt you
The beautiful me of your fantasies doesn’t exist
(Can’t you see that boy?)

Get away out of my face
Don’t come any closer boy
(Even if I’m sad, I won’t cry)
Get away out of my face
Don’t look at me anymore, boy
(Even if I’m sad, I won’t cry)

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to blossom.

Lorde was about a teenager when she wrote this song, and it is also one of my favorites, and it shows how she feels about leaving her home in New Zealand, to perform for the first time in Europe and America. The song portrays her feelings, her actions, and what her friends thought about all of this stuff going on with her. The song really hits home, as it touches with some topics that I had dealt with before, such as leaving home, breaking away from unhealthy things that I used to do, and just be plain stupid.

Don't you think that it's boring how people talk
Making smart with their words again, well I'm bored
Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it
Never not chasing a million things I want
And I am only as young as the minute is full of it
Getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought
But I know they'll never own me (Yeah)

Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)

Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane
I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space
But my head's filling up with the wicked games, up in flames
How can I 🤬 with the fun again, when I'm known
And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them
Everything's cool when we're all in line, for the throne
But I know it's not forever (Yeah)

Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)

It looked alright in the pictures (yeah)

Getting caught soft with the triple is it
I fall apart, with all my heart
And you can watch from your window
And you can watch from your window

Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)

Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell, known professionally as Anaïs Nin was a French-Cuban American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica. Born to Cuban parents in France, Nin was the daughter of composer Joaquín Nin and Rosa Culmell, a classically trained singer. She was born in 1903 and died in 1977. My favorite poem by her is one called "Risk" which shows the struggles of her choosing whether or not to stay in her norm, or to venture out more. This poem is one of my favorites because I like how it resonates with how I also think. Because of the things Anais writes, I only like two or three of her works, but this one I thought would be good to use in my collection.

Sunmi Is a South Korean soloist who sings about the more touchy things in her culture, such as breakups, abuse, and mental health. In this particular song, though, Sunmi explains that she had lost her love for a significant other and she is telling him to go away, as it has become a one-sided love. Sunmi was a part of one of the more Iconic groups of South Korea's pop industry called Wonder Girls, and pretty much was their version of The Beatles, in comparison to how famous they were. She is only about 27, and debuted in 2007 with Wonder Girls, and since her debut, has made songs expressing how she feels since the band's disbandment, and how she feels about society. Siren is one of my favorite songs because it tell a story that I can understand from a bystander's point of view, and the words really captivate how she feels as a whole.
