Il futuro è imminente e apocalittico.
I figli sono strappati alla somiglianza coi padri e proiettati verso un domani che pur conservando i problemi e le miserie dell'oggi sarà pur tuttavia differente per qualcosa di immenso e oscuro.
E penso a coloro che remoti e sprezzanti mentre tutto ciò accade non hanno che cretini doveri da continuare a imporre: il progresso, lo sviluppo, le liberalizzazioni, la tolleranza, l'ecumenismo.
Non si accorgono che la degenerazione di un paese è avvenuta proprio attraverso la degenerazione dei loro valori.
Non si accorgono che non c'è soluzione di continuità tra coloro che sono tecnicamente criminali e coloro che non lo sono. E che il modello d'insolenza, disumanità e spietatezza è identico per quello che fu popolo e oggi è massa.
L'accettazione di ciò avviene attraverso il più untuoso degli alibi: quello di un'ostentata ed enfatica ansia democratica.
Come non rimpiangere dunque l'Italia che conoscemmo ragazzi, dove le apparenze parevano dotate del dono dell'eternità, si poteva appasionatamente credere nella rivolta o nella rivoluzione che tanto quella meravigliosa cosa che era la forma della vita non sarebbe mai cambiata, dove ci si poteva sentire eroi per il mutamento e per la novità, perché a dare coraggio e forza era la certezza che le città e gli uomini nel loro aspetto profondo e bello non sarebbero mai mutati, dove persino i ladri e i delinquenti avevano una qualità meravigliosa, non erano mai volgari, come presi da una loro ispirazione a violare le leggi, accettavano i loro destino di banditi sapendo, con leggerezza, o con antico sentimento di colpa di essere in torto contro una società di cui essi conoscevano direttamente solo il bene. L'onestà dei padri... e delle madri...

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
