It's not so pretty out here
These days I cant face the mirror
With endless nights I fear
I've lost my life at sea
I bring my demons with me
On the road and in my bed
They keep me up on late night drives
They live inside my head
I've seen sides of me that you should never see
And there are days that i want to leave

I swear I miss you more than anything
But tonight I have these songs I have to sing
I swear I miss you traveling
So far through the night
Waking up not knowing where we are

I am sleepless on this East coast yet again
Driving through the ghost towns with the windows down
Breathe them in as friends
I've seen sides of me that you should never see
And there are days that i want to leave

I swear I miss you more than anything
But tonight I have these songs I have to sing
I swear I miss you traveling
So far through the night
Waking up not knowing where we are

We've said it all without making a sound
It's up to us to come around
I've traded my security
Turned in my residence for mystery
No one thinks I'm making any sense

I swear I miss you more than anything
But tonight I have these songs I have to sing
I swear I miss you
I swear I miss you
I swear I miss you more than anything
But tonight I have these songs I have to sing

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
