Don't Know Why

Saves the Day

There must be something wrong with me
I get so tired I can't sleep
The voices in my head are haunting my dreams
No matter how I try
To kill the thoughts inside
I can not
I can not hide

The mirror's staring back at me
The crack and lines along my face
The times I try to get things straight but could not
I know how hard I try
To keep myself alive
I don't know
I don't know why

Funny how
When the darkest of knights falls down
Worry that I will never see sun shining again
The world goes round
What comes up doesn't get back down
Wonder if I can stick around
Feel the light of the day

Sometimes I feel like I am dying down here
I feel a raging storm inside of my skin
The dial tone is never no ones
I feel the weight of time
Wonder when I will die
I don't know
I don't know why

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.

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.
