I've seen 22 years of life
and I think I basically know what's going on
as far as what life's not about.

There's a cycle I won't be part of,
but it's not because I don't think it's right,
I gotta keep doing what I think I'm here for
and not get buried in someone elses life.
When I was younger I didn't know life meant falling into place,
Taking over a menual position that meant nothing to you in the first place
Getting older confused by friends
they're 22 and almost done,
I must have missed the "Grow Up" sign
I thought we were still having fun

So good luck, with not forgetting who you are even though it seems you have to
Good luck, finding your own way, not settling in where your not happy
Good luck, remembering it's only life
Good luck, not following what you don't believe in
Good luck, seeing many problems are only a big deal if you make them

Everyone I met surounds me every day in my head
It's a part of what makes me who i am,
it's the attitude of my life,

And I turn around and see how some have made me feel so nice to me
Just made me laugh at life when I couldn't deal.
And I wanna be just like that it's what I want to be,
not held down by others but now I can see
I'll make my life a place I like or I could just sit and blame for things
not right,
What's to gain spending all of our life putting your friends down again and again

So good luck, being someone who can always help someone out
Good luck, in remembering how much you can affect someone else
Good luck, with not being selfish
Good luck, with not being alone
Good luck, in this world we're all just trying to get along
Good luck, with not getting caught up
Good luck, with not getting stressed
Good luck, with figuring things out
Good luck, with doing your best
Good luck, with not losing yourself
Good luck, for standing for what's right
Good luck, for being happy when you sit to review your life.

    I think it's a pretty straightforward message..

    To me this song means that YOU are the sole person in charge of how your life goes. You determine your own destiny and get only one shot at it..

    Be good to the ones you love and don't give up on what you believe no matter what happens.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
