So the kids on the internet say that you're a big noise,
you made the message board top ten.
a thousand bucks to sing your verse and chorus,
until their alcohol's all gone.
you need an hour to clean thorns off of roses
from the florist on peidmont.
maybe they'll say that your big noise voice was golden
when your at the funeral home.

well they remember more than ever
but i guess we'll never know.
if they'll remember it was more than ever
and you were so excited yesterday...

you said you were living loud under the tree tops in the forest dark,
but no one knew your name at the local open mic tonight...

you'll only be famous in your underground,
you've been miss ohio's nameless in her evening gown,
and when your voice is wasted and you've lost your sound,
you'll know where your plane is when it's going down.
we'll barrell and bag up the fallen leaves

    It should say "EVEN miss ohio's nameless" not You've been. The point (I think) being that when Miss Ohio is on stage at a beauty contest or whatever, everyone pays attention to her, but when she goes home at night she isn't a beauty queen, she's just some random ordinary person. She isn't wearing the sash that reads Miss Ohio anymore, and is thus nameless. He's saying that however famous you are in some circle, in a different situation you're a nobody.

    he's talking to a person who let a little fame get to their head, and are now realizing that they're not hot $hit!!!

    could this song have anything to do with that old project/band Miss Ohio's Nameless? they only released one album awhile back, very underground sorta deal, but so good... it was Yoni, Odd Nosdam, Doug, and a few others... coincidence or connection?

    "I feel, I feel empty Fucking empty"

    Yoni: Killer

    So the kids on the internet say you're a big noise You made the message board top ten

    A thousand bucks to sing your verse and chorus Until their alcohol's all gone

    It ain't an hour to clean thorns off of roses From the florist on Piedmont.

    Maybe they'll say your big noise voice was golden when you're at the funeral home.

    Will they remember more than embers? But I guess we'll never know. If they'll remember it was more embers

    And you were so excited yesterday.

    You said you were living loud under the treetops in the forest dark

    But no-one knew your name at the local open mic tonight.

    You'll only be famous in the underground Even Miss Ohio's nameless in their evening gown

    and when your voice is wasted and you've lost your sound,

    you'll know where your plane is when it's going down.

    We'll barrel and bag up the falling leaves.

    Am I sick to think I look best under fluorescent lights... or in a the cramped-corpse light of an airplane bathroom?

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
