What am I living for
I feel like I'm made for more
Your word says you've got my back
You love me
no strings attached
So why am I worried worried worried
I put my trust in you and now I work with you
Somebody needs to feel you right now
Please don't let me sleep sleep
Until I've done everything anything that I can do for you
Please don't let me sleep sleep
You take me by the hand and you guide me
With you there's no fear or anxiety
This joy that you give is amazing
Forever changed now I live life to honor you
Cause I've been made new new new
We're breaking chains down and only speaking truth
Somebody needs to feel you right now
Please don't let me sleep sleep
Until I've done everything anything that I can do for you
Please don't let me sleep sleep
Somebody needs to feel you right now
So please don't let me sleep
Please don't let me sleep sleep
Until I've done everything anything that I can do for you
Please don't let me sleep sleep
Please don't let me sleep sleep

    11 comments and not a single one talkign about the meaning of the song. You guys suck. i don't give a fuck what you like about how it sounds unless you provide a meaning, hah.

    Anyways, the song writer is feeling like they dont know exactly who they are, as if they have to find themselves, and the first few lines describe that.

    Then, the next few verses like" will i wake to find you waiting by my bedside" and "am i following the lines on a face never shown" are saying, well, he's wondering if he is seeing who she truely is,. and once he finds himself will he finds that she has really been there for him all along or she was someone different that who he thinks she is.

    I liked this song right when i heard it, and i saw them live right on my birthday, it was amazing. I just recieved liek the serious full effect and why i can relate to it so much yesterday. I'm trying to find myself right now, and who i will find at my bedside when i wake up.

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.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
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.

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.
