Well, you can hide a lot about yourself
but, honey, what are you gonna do?
And you can sleep in a coffin, but the past ain't through with you
'Cause we are all a bunch of liars, tell me, baby, who do you wanna be?
And we are all about to sell it, 'cause it's tragic with a capital T
Let it be, let it be, let it be

'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba
And we all get together when we bury our friends
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba
It's been eight bitter years since I've been seeing your face
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba
And you're walking away
And I will die in this place

Sometimes you scrape and sink so low
I'm shocked at what you're capable of
And if this is the coronation, I ain't feeling the love
'Cause we are all a bunch of animals that never paid attention in school
So, tell me all about your problems, I was killing before killing was cool
You're so cool, you're so cool, so cool

'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba
And we all get together when we bury our friends
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba
It's been nine bitter years since I've been seeing your face
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba
And you're walking away
And I will die in this place

You'll never take me alive, you'll never take me alive
Do what it takes to survive, 'cause I'm still here
You'll never get me alive, you'll never take me alive
Do what it takes to survive, and I'm still here
You'll never take me alive, you'll never get me alive
Do what it takes to survive, and I'm still here
You'll never get me
You'll never take me
You'll never get me alive

'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba
And we all get together when we bury our friends
It's been ten fucking years since I've been seeing your face 'round here
And you're walking away
And I will drown in the fear

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.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
