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.
On the drive home certain questions reapear
Shallow certain helps his eyes keep stearing clear
And as for me
I'd rather keep on driving
Set fourth until my dying day
Cards down, i think I'm winning this round
(this round)
And as for him,
Keep your head up kid
You'll be leaving this one soon
Run away
Forgive me when its over,
But don't think i never tried
I'm so sorry
Dad, i never meant to leave you,
Mom, i swear i wont decieve you this time
Seven years and counting
It's about time
It's about time to make some serious changes in our lives
Time to set aside the weaker from the rest of the survivors
Leave all our ghosts behind
Stronger than the average girl
She reaches towards her owners
And as for her,
She'll be bleeding our slowly getting closer
Run away
Forgive me when its over,
But don't think i never tried
I'm so sorry
Dad, i never meant to leave you,
Mom, i swear i wont decieve you this time
Destined
Singing me to sleep
The kind of pain that i can't unleesh
(im so sorry)
Destined
Singing me to sleep
The kind of pain that i can't unleesh
(Im so sorry)
Destined, singing me to sleep
The kind of pain, The kind of pain
The kind of pain
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe you
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe you
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe you and me.
Shallow certain helps his eyes keep stearing clear
And as for me
I'd rather keep on driving
Set fourth until my dying day
Cards down, i think I'm winning this round
(this round)
And as for him,
Keep your head up kid
You'll be leaving this one soon
Run away
Forgive me when its over,
But don't think i never tried
I'm so sorry
Dad, i never meant to leave you,
Mom, i swear i wont decieve you this time
Seven years and counting
It's about time
It's about time to make some serious changes in our lives
Time to set aside the weaker from the rest of the survivors
Leave all our ghosts behind
Stronger than the average girl

And as for her,
She'll be bleeding our slowly getting closer
Run away
Forgive me when its over,
But don't think i never tried
I'm so sorry

Destined
Singing me to sleep
The kind of pain that i can't unleesh
(im so sorry)
Destined
Singing me to sleep
The kind of pain that i can't unleesh
(Im so sorry)
Destined, singing me to sleep
The kind of pain, The kind of pain
The kind of pain
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe you
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe you
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe you and me.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

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.
