Falling Into History

Brie Larson

It don't matter what people say I never did believe them
I know, I know they know everything
I'll be alright by myself and no one's gonna tell me
I'm defined, confined by love

Now our days seem strange
I guess my heart was bound to change

I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history
I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and falling into history

I never thought that I'd say that I don't really miss you
I lived, I breathed your breath through me
Time has a way of passing by until I don't remember
Why or how to hurt for you

Life's pain has gone somewhere
And I'm fine leaving it there

I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history
I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history

Falling into, falling into, falling into history

I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history
I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history

I'll be alright by myself
And no one's gonna tell me I'm defined, confined by love

    Its a breakup song. She sang this well. People buy into the falling in love thing so much, they find it hard to believe that she's just suddenly fallen out of love. It happens...but then this song could hint at a lesson she's about to learn. Cuz it does sound awfully sudden.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
