I think i've been here before,
only now not at the cellar,
I am lying on the sunrooms floor,
and contemplating why that if im so damn tired and out of pocket,
do I turn every conversation and every contemplation I make,
into a self pity trip.

I said that i would ride a wagon right out of this town,
and out of this slide,
to find the confidence and hope,
that i lost back in 2005,
but did I?
Would there be a second chapter,
if they didnt leave the death star alive?

I want to be something else of worth, you see?
And I want fly like a kite in the sky.
You don't need a degree, to deconstruct this melody,
but this ones not for you.

If a song for was,
my justification for the introspective writings i make,
then this is the most anyone will ever hear about my personal life,
then why?
as the apology I owe you is as public as the stars in the sky,
"if I, if I..."

I want to be something else of worth, you see?
And I want fly like a kite in the sky.
You don't need a degree, to deconstruct this melody,
but this ones not for you.

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.

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.
