Show me something good
That’s still worth fighting for
I’m not quite sure how
You survive the storms
Inside of your soul
And ever since the start of this
I turn to you when I need something more
Than this empty road
That I follow

So can I just hold onto you tonight?
So can I just hold onto you and make this right?
I’ll take apart what is left and leave it
I’ve come to see that I’ll never make it on my own

I can’t imagine all the things
That haunt your head when you lay in bed
And you try to find a reason to stay here
Ever since the start of this
I never knew the right thing to say to you
The right way to help you through

So can I just hold onto you tonight?
So can I just hold onto you and make this right?
I’ll take apart what is left and leave it
I’ve come to see that I’ll never make it on my own

Hey, I know it’s hard for you to believe
But if you leave I’ll lose everything I really need
Everything that helps me breath
Hey, I know you’re barely hanging on
But even with your weathered heart
I know you’ll walk into this storm ahead of me

But can I just hold onto you tonight?
Can I just hold onto you and make this right?
Can I just hold onto you tonight?
Can I just hold onto you and make this right?
I’ll take apart what is left and leave it
I’ve come to see that I’ll never make it on my own
On my own

    no i believe, neigh, i am 100% certain, this song in some parts talks of himself (for example, "I'm not quite sure how you survive the storms inside of your soul" speaks of himself) but whom he is asking and begging to use as a foundation in his rough days is his best friend, not some ex girlfriend who he cheated on. sometimes you need to know the author to understand the meaning.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
