淡いオレンジの髪揺らいで
遠く君が見えた気がして
辺り見回すけれど 知ってる
ここに居る筈も無い事は

胸を切り開いて 思い出を眺め
ずっと忘れず生きて行く方がいいの?

君は夢で泳いでる 人魚になれたから
眠りについた私を案内してよね

どうか もう一度 腕伸ばせば
届く場所に君を戻して
雨を傘で塞いだ 涙も
肩が濡れ 心まで濡れた

腕をかみ砕いて 心から遠ざけ
きっと忘れず 生きて行くことがいいの

君は夢で泳いでる 人魚になれたから
幼い頃に見ていた夕日で溶かしてよ

あんな素敵な日を
あんな大切な未来を
なぜ簡単に奪ってしまうの?

君は夢で泳いでる人魚になれたから
深く沈んだ思いを 集めて星へ

君は夢で泳いでる人魚になれたから
涙枯らして歌うよ
報われるように
報われるように

夢で会いましょう

    My Interpretation

    Your light orange hair waves... I thought I saw you in the distance... I look around nearby, but I know, That there's no way, because you don't exist here...

    My heart opens up, to the scenery of memories; Is it alright to live on and forget about you?

    Because you’re a mermaid now, I will swim out to you in the dream; Guide me while I hold onto you in my sleep...

    Just like that, one more time, I stretch my arms, And try to take you back from that far away place... I hide under an umbrella from the rain, but the tears Still soaked my shoulder and heart...

    Bite off my arm, [but] stay far away from my heart; Surely, it’s alright to live on and forget...

    Because you’re a mermaid, I will swim out to you in the dream; When I was a child, I saw you by the melting sun...

    Such wonderful days, Such an important future; Why did these simple things had to come to an end?

    Because you’re a mermaid, I will swim out to you in the dream; I gather the feelings that sunk deeply, and bring them to the stars...

    Because you’re a mermaid, I will swim out to you in the dream; I'll sing until my tears dry, So that I may be rewarded... So that I may be rewarded...

    May we meet in the dream...

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
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”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
