As of this moment I am living two lives up goes the down

slope, trying to uphold the bonds and bones that hold the

upper most throne. Could I be the king once and future, or

then again, I could be the clown, the paralyzed mountain

climber. Barely rhyming to survive, sometimes the show

live can feel like concrete that, to retreat from, I pay fifty

bucks and then some. Back and forth, bus trips and bus

stops (like Q-Tips without tops) forget the co-op, I'm

repackaged into box. In a month I will be restocked and

resold for fifty bucks and then told to pay my own ransom

or lose my traction and forget about this jester juggling

action and over-exaggeration.

I'm losing new friends for best friends

and my lonely life for only love

but it's been said by past live pound sounds

"music would watch you drown"

and stick around to catch the fire of another

right now this music is drowning me

in a sea of "hellos" and "goodbys" and "beep beeps" that fly by

where I'm from people mean "fuck you"

when the words are "hello, and how do you do?"

Look at me drinking so much ginseng ice tea that

I'd swear I've peed the orient in a sea of energy

rapidly siphoning me

if you could be me then you could swim in this sound

I'll be the only one who cares

in music I'll drown

*microphone

stable bone

in this shaky

skeletone*

Am I trading two lives for a million or a million lives for two

Oh yeah! a boo boo I forgot I am mathematically dyslexic

this vexing's hectic hexed and perplexed erect then wreck my

own respect detected and then detached -a sec- I need a mic

check to forget and infect this outlet is getting worn and torn

I tear and tear my hair from head instead of red and blue my

colors are sinking sorry

*microphone

stable bone

in this shaky

skeletone*

TAKE SHELTER 'cause we're gonna explode

(uh uh)

You know, we might implode the

They’re taking shelter

and this is their last chance

to grow eyes.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
