All the cells in my body
Are giving up slowly
You're an injury
And I am unholy

Street smart like a sailor
Worldly like a whore

Permanent sleep is my only cure
It hurts all the time, it won't hurt anymore
You can't help me no one can
You can't help me no one can

All the blood in my body
Is pouring out slowly
You're the reason why
I am unholy

Worldly like a sailor
Street smart like a whore

Permanant sleep is my only cure
It hurts all the time, it won't hurt anymore
You can't help me no one can
You can't help me no one can

Drive half way! drive half way!
You won't make it! you won't make it!
Drive half way! drive half way!
You won't make it! you won't make it!

You can't help me no one can
You can't help me no one can
You can't help me no one can

Drive half way!
Drive half way!
Drive half way!
Drive half way!

    i cant believe someone could type that out and think....yeah that looks right...anyways...theyre more like this: ALL THE CELLS IN MY BODY - ARE GIVING UP SLOWLY YOURE AND INJURY - AND I AM UNHOLY

    and: IT HURTS ALL THE TIME - IT WONT HURT ANYMORE

    and i think its more about bleeding to death because life hurts too much to deal with 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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
