Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the trees you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life




For me
And I'm feeling good

Lyrics:
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true oh
All I want for Christmas is you
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need, and I
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow, and I
I just wanna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me
The one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you, baby

Quando você esteve aqui antes
Nem pude te olhar nos olhos
Você é como um anjo
Sua pele me faz chorar
Você flutua como pluma
Num mundo perfeito
Eu queria ser especial
Você é tão especial

Mas eu sou uma aberração, um esquisito
Que diabos é que eu estou fazendo aqui
Este não é meu lugar

Não me importa se vai doer
Quero ter o controle (da situação)
Quero um corpo perfeito
Uma alma perfeita
Quero que você perceba
Quando eu não estou por perto
Você é tão especial
Eu queria ser especial

Mas eu sou uma aberração, um esquisito
Que diabos é que eu estou fazendo aqui
Este não é meu lugar

Ela está indo embora de novo
Esta fugindo
Ela se vai, se vai

O que você quiser para te fazer feliz
O que você quiser
Você é tão especial
Eu queria ser especial

Mas eu sou uma aberração, um esquisito
Que diabos é que eu estou fazendo aqui
Este não é meu lugar
Este não é meu lugar

Russian lyrics:

Я утопаю в этих глазах
Ведь ты словно ангел, там в небесах
Ты просто порхаешь, где-то там надо мной
И всё напрасно, ты слишком прекрасна.

А я лишь пыль
Если честно
Боже, что я здесь забыл
Мне здесь не место.

Я хочу измениться, стать сильным душой
И красивое тело, чтоб быть рядом с тобой
Чтобы ты замечала, что меня рядом нет
Но всё напрасно, ты слишком прекрасна.

А я лишь пыль
Если честно
Боже, что я здесь забыл
Мне здесь не место.

И вновь она порхает
И исчезает прочь.

И это не важно, что манит тебя
Ты слишком прекрасна, и всё напрасно.

Ведь я лишь пыль
Если честно
Боже, что я здесь забыл
Мне здесь не место

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
And I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so very special
Yeah, I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
Oh, oh
She's running
Well, she's running out again
I said she's running out
She runs, runs, runs, runs, oh
Well, I said, I said she runs
I said she
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so very special
Yeah, I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
Ooh, I said it
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here? Oh
I don't belong here

Aberração
Quando você esteve aqui
Não conseguia te olhar nos olhos
Você é como um anjo
Sua pele me faz chorar

Você flutua como uma pena
Em um belo mundo
Eu gostaria de ser especial
Você é especial pra caralho

Mas eu sou uma aberração
Eu sou um esquisitão
Que diabos estou fazendo aqui?
Eu não pertenço a este lugar

Eu não ligo se isso machuca
Eu quero ter o controle
Eu quero um corpo perfeito
Eu quero uma alma perfeita

Eu quero que você perceba
Quando eu não estiver por perto
Que você é especial pra caralho
Eu gostaria de ser especial

Mas eu sou uma aberração
Eu sou um esquisitão
Que diabos estou fazendo aqui?
Eu não pertenço a este lugar
Oh, oh

Ela está fugindo pela porta
Ela está fugindo
Ela corre, corre, corre, corre
Corre

Seja lá o que te faz feliz
Seja lá o que você deseje
Você é especial pra caralho
Eu gostaria de ser especial

Mas eu sou uma aberração
Eu sou um esquisitão
Que diabos estou fazendo aqui?
Eu não pertenço a este lugar
Eu não pertenço a este lugar

Español latino:

Cuando estabas aquí
No te pude mirar
Eres como un ángel
Que me haces.. llorar....
Tu flotas sin miedo
En este mundo..
Yo quiero alcanzarte
Pero tu eres distante

Más solo soy..
Un extraño
Que demonios hago aqui
Yo no encajo

No me importa el dolor
Quiero tener el control
El cuerpo perfecto
Un alma mejor

Quiero que notes
Cuando no estoy...
Eres especial
Quiero ser especial...

Mas solo soy
Un extraño....
Que demonios hago aqui
Yo no encajo
Oh,oh,uh.... el esta huyendo....
uh... el esta huyendo, hacia el dolor......
uh.................

Lo que te haga feliz
Lo que quieras quizá
Tu eres perfecta, única y perfecta
Más solo soy
Un extraño
Que demonios hago aquí
Yo no encajo

Lyrics:

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show, on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas?
I need to get myself away from this place
I said, "Yup" what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go (go!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold



@rosemartinez2053

Finally, I'm crossing the threshold
From the ordinary world to the reveal of my heart
Undoubtedly, that will for certain
Take the dead out of the sea and the darkness from the arts
This is my commitment, my modern manifesto
I'm doing it for all of us who never got the chance
For, and for (shut up, shut up)
And all my birds of paradise (shut up, shut up)
Who never got to fly at night (shut up, shut up)
'Cause they were caught up in the dance
Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind
I wanna get off, but I keep riding the ride
I never really noticed that I had to decide
To play someone's game, or live my own life
And now I do
I wanna move
Out of the black (out of the black)
Into the blue (into the blue)
Finally
Gone is the burden of the Crowley way of being
That comes from energies combined
Like my part was I
Was not discerning
And you, as we found out
Were not in your right mind
There's no more chasing rainbows and hoping for an end to them
Their arches are illusions, solid at first glance
But then you try to touch them (touch, touch)
There's nothing to hold on to (hold, hold)
The colors used to lure you in (shut up, shut up)
And put you in a trance (ah, ah, ah, yeah)
Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind
I wanna get off, but I keep riding the ride
I never really noticed that I had to decide
To play someone's game, or live my own life
And now I do
I wanna move
Out of the black (out of the black)
Into the blue (into the blue)
Out of the black (out of the black)
Into the blue (into the blue)
Out of the black (out of the black)
Into the blue (into the blue)

You're so fucking special

I wanna have control
I wanna a perfect body
I wanna a perfect soul

She's running out the door
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

Paso mi tiempo
buscando la razón
por la que estoy sentada
sola en un rincón
tapada y con frío
pq tu no estas
tus brazos no me rodean
y las gotas caen
como mis lágrimas
que recoren mi mano
intentando tapar
el dolooor, de no tenerte conmigo
y te entiendo, no era para más
tu eres tan especial
y yo era una carga.
pasan las estaciones, primavera me da igual.
mirando las flores, estan marchitadas.
Porque el color se desvaneció.
y mi duda se lleva toda mi felicidad.
me siento vacía, preguntándome donde estará la razón.
mi dolor mio mioooo.
¿ lo merezco ?
lo siento tanto.
necesito encontrar el sentido y poder entender.
te fuiste sin explicar, las razones.

WITHOUT ME LYRICS

Found you when your heart was broke
I filled your cup until it overflowed
Took it so far to keep you close (keep you close)
I was afraid to leave you on your own
I said I'd catch you if you fall
And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (all)
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you could take advantage of me
Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (I don't know why, yeah yeah)
Gave love 'bout a hundred tries (hundred tries)
Just running from the demons in your mind
Then I took yours and made 'em mine (made 'em mine)
I didn't notice 'cause my love was blind
Said I'd catch you if you fall (fall)
And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (all)
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you can take advantage of me
Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why, yeah
You don't have to say just what you did
I already know (I know)
I had to go and find out from them
So tell me how's it feel (oh-woah)
Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)

[Verse 1]
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go (W-w-wacko)
You'll never shine if you don't glow



[Chorus]
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
(And all that glitters is gold)
Only shootin' stars break the mold

[Verse 2]
It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin
The water's gettin' warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how 'bout yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored

[Chorus]
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
(All that glitters is gold)
Only shootin' stars break the mold

[Interlude]
Go for the moon (W-w-wacko, w-w-wacko)
Go for the moon (W-w-wacko, w-w-wacko)
Go for the moon
Go for the moon

[Chorus]
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
(And all that glitters is gold)
Only shooting stars…

[Bridge]
Somebody once asked, "Could I spare some change for gas?
I need to get myself away from this place"
I said, "Yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little change"

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go (Go!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow

[Chorus]
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
(And all that glitters is gold)
Only shootin' stars break the mold

[Outro]
(And all that glitters is gold)
Only shootin' stars break the mold

I've never particularly enjoyed hearing the sound of my own voice, but this song made me appreciate it a lot more. I always enjoyed singing, but I'm too shy to do it in public so I just do it in the comfort of my bedroom when no one's around.
