Straight to Hell

Gisli

My clothes don't fit me and my friends don't like me
And this furniture is giving me a rash
I don't have credit and I know I'll never get it
And I'm pretty sure I'll end up all alone

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna be drunk and flat broke
I'm gonna be tired, old and bitter
And really messed up

Cause this behavior is gonna get me nowhere (x4)
But straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell

Girls wont ride me and the boys wont fight me so my
Self esteem has hit an all time low
The drugs don't thrill me and my life's about to kill me
And I'm pretty sure I'll end up all alone

[Chorus:]

Cos this behavior is gonna get me nowhere (x4)
But straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell

The cops wont arrest me and the hookers wont undress me
And my manager is tired of my voice
The servants wont serve me and the doctors wont cure me
And my producer calls my music a bunch of noise

[Chorus]

Cause this behavior is gonna get me nowhere (x4)
But straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell
Straight to hell

I'm gonna be drunk, and slight broke
I'm gonna be tired old and bitter, and really messed up

Cause this behavior, is gonna get me nowhere
Cause this behavior, is gonna get me nowhere
Cause this behavior, is gonna get me nowhere, but straight to hell
Oh yeah, straight to hell
Oh yeah, straight to hell
Oh yeah, straight to hell
Straight to hell

    basically, Gisli is saying "blah blah blah everything sucks, and thinking like this is just pointless."

    Self-defeating but realizing it. And not doing anything about it. Oh the irony...

    great song!

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.

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”

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.
