Hearts On Fire

HammerFall

We saw the writings on the wall
When heathens ruled above us all
Tormented we still heard the call
You come to bring us down
Wield the scepter, steal the crown
Time on the throne is running out

'Cause seasons change
But we are still the same
Even though the cold winds blow
The fire burns inside

Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel
Hearts on fire

For years shunned by society
Outcasts, condemned for our beliefs
Our legions grew in secrecy
And now the time is here
I see the Templars everywhere
The freedom call is growing near

We hold our rebel banners up with pride
The color's crimson and the hammer is the sign

Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel

Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
(Hearts) hearts on fire, hearts on fire
(Hearts) hearts on fire, hearts on fire
(Hearts) hearts on fire
(Hearts) hearts on fire
Hearts on fire (hearts, hearts, hearts, hearts)
(Hearts) hearts on fire

Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel
Hearts on fire

Hearts on fire

    the end of the first verse is off its:

    "even though the cold winds blow the fire burns inside" not "even though the cold winds blow were burning like a flame" although that would have sounded cooler

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
