Heel Over Head

Puddle of Mudd

Don't you walk out that door
Don't even pet the dog on the floor
Just take your things in the yard
And throw your keys anywhere

After all the things I've done for you
Year after year after burnin' year
And I'm sorry for wastin' all your time
And I'm sorry for losin' all my life
And I think that I'm lost and hard to find
But I fell like I'm livin' a timeless lie

And I'm Heel over head
Jet black sky is painted white again
I'm heel over head
Leave my eyes in the clouds again
You don't save me at all
You don't save me at all
You don't save me at all
You don't save me

Don't you walk away from me
I'm givin' up everything
But I think that I'm rippin' apart at the seams
And I'm findin' it hard, hard to believe
And I feel like I'm livin' inside a dream
And no one believes
And no one sees
That I'm sorry for wastin' all your time
And I'm sorry for losin' on the line

And I'm Heel over head
Jet black sky is painted white again
I'm heel over head
Leave my eyes in the clouds again

You don't save me at all
You don't save me at all
You don't save me at all

You don't save me
Or hear me
Or touch me
Or break me
Or think that I'm rippin' a part at the seams
You don't save me at all
You don't save me at all
You dont feel me or touch me

I'm sorry, and I'm sorry for wastin'
I'm sorry, and I'm sorry for wastin'
I'm sorry, and I'm sorry you don't
See me
Hear me
Touch me
Bring me
Think that I'm rippin' apart at the seams
You don't see me
Hear me
Touch me
Bring me
Think that I'm rippin' apart at the seams
You don't save me at all
You don't save me at all
You don't save me at all
You don't see me or hear me

    This song is sweet. POM is good a writing songs that are catchy and still rock. And i'm pretty sure the lyric is, "you dont see me at all."

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use 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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
