The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Llora el cielo
Y en mis manos
Veo sus lagrimas caer
El silencio, me hace daño
Se acabo nuestro querer
La tristeza me castiga
Se apropia de mi ser
Puedes llevarte mi ilución
Romperme todo el corazon
Como a un cristal, que se cae al suelo
Pero te juro que al final
Sola me voy a levantar
Como un rascacielo
Como un rascacielo
Poco a poco, con el tiempo
Voy a olvidarme de ti
No te vas a dar cuenta
Que estoy sangrando aqui
Mis ventanas se han quebrado
Mas no me voy a rendir
Puedes llevarte mi ilución
Romperme todo el corazon
Como a un cristal, que se cae al suelo
Pero te juro que al final
Sola me voy a levantar
Como un rascacielo
Como un rascacielo
Vete a volar, yo estoy mejor asi
Muy lejos de ti, yeah
No vuelvas mas
Que ya lo decidi
Sin tu recuerdo aprendere a vivir
Puedes llevarte mi ilución
Romperme todo el corazon
Como a un cristal, que se cae al suelo
Pero te juro que al final
Sola me voy a levantar
Como un rascacielo
Como un rascacielo
Como un rascacielo
Como un rascacielo
Y en mis manos
Veo sus lagrimas caer
El silencio, me hace daño
Se acabo nuestro querer
La tristeza me castiga
Se apropia de mi ser
Puedes llevarte mi ilución
Romperme todo el corazon
Como a un cristal, que se cae al suelo
Pero te juro que al final
Sola me voy a levantar
Como un rascacielo
Como un rascacielo
Poco a poco, con el tiempo
Voy a olvidarme de ti
No te vas a dar cuenta
Que estoy sangrando aqui
Mis ventanas se han quebrado
Mas no me voy a rendir
Puedes llevarte mi ilución
Romperme todo el corazon
Como a un cristal, que se cae al suelo
Pero te juro que al final
Sola me voy a levantar
Como un rascacielo
Como un rascacielo
Vete a volar, yo estoy mejor asi
Muy lejos de ti, yeah
No vuelvas mas
Que ya lo decidi
Sin tu recuerdo aprendere a vivir
Puedes llevarte mi ilución
Romperme todo el corazon
Como a un cristal, que se cae al suelo
Pero te juro que al final
Sola me voy a levantar
Como un rascacielo
Como un rascacielo
Como un rascacielo
Como un rascacielo

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
