Don't take it so hard,
we're not against you
It's really not that bad,
It's just that they
want you to think that it is
I'm over the past but I can't defend you
so I'll say it one last time before I leave
that life behind

It's easy to abuse the friends that end up screwed
just take one for the team, I hope you're happy

It's hard to believe that once
there was something
there's something to be said for sinking
the ship that I wanted to sail
you don't have a clue,
you never can and never will
but I'll suck it up and lie,
with all my dignity and pride

These words can't say it all,
you're feeling ten feet tall
and stronger everyday,
I've learned to walk
I've learned to walk away

So easy to confuse another lie that's true
you'll find out for yourself,
I hope you're happy

    This song... To me its about having a friend/girlfriend/boyfriend that doesn't realize that they're pushing you to your limits and making you feel like shit, and you try to tell them but they don't care. You realize your above it, "I've learned to walk away", but still, you wonder why, and your life sucks, so you hope they're happy... I think.

    I freaking love this song. The last line of "I hope your happy" just has so much emotion in it.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
