Fragile

Poets Of The Fall

You've been biting bullets all these years
I know, there beside yourself chocking on tears
And you aced avoiding possibility
When you placed your bets on bittersweet

Now don't you worry
No need to be sorry
Time to step lightly

Cause the love you used to feel is still there inside
It may be a faded photograph, but I know you care
So don't hide if you're scared, I'm here beside you
If you get lost, I'm here to guide you
And I'll give you peace when peace is fragile
Love is all the good in you
Love is peace when peace is fragile

You've been going out of way to agree
Like you've been rubbing yourself all wrong
Just to be somebody else's genie
Catering to your disaster's every need
Waiting to finally be set free

I said baby don't worry
Life will carry
Just take it slowly

Cause the love you used to feel is still there inside
It may be a faded photograph, but I know you care
So don't hide if you're scared, I'm here beside you
If you get lost, I'm here to guide you
And I'll give you peace when peace is fragile
Love is all the good in you
Love is peace when peace is fragile

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”

Amazing
