he said.. it must be hard to be little
but every bar I spit is hard to belittle
so pardon the shit that I'm starting, but he's already brittle
his little heart, I got it caught in a pickle
crippled, I'm carving initials across the middle of it, scarred with a riddle
whittled inside of it, that his mind will never solve in time and it
finally crossed their mind that I'm fine if I crossed a line a bit
more than fine, matter fact, it's exhilarating
I feel amazing, no will or way rehabilitating
gonna change the way that I move, they can assume
but soon or later made a fool when they're unable to prove
'cause when it comes to it, nothing gonna come from it
you're mumbling a bunch of what you're gonna do but nothing when in front of it
so sit, save your breath, instead of speaking under it
be confident but let the talent speak, that's what humble is
don't need the words to reinforce, I got the action
I'm laughing at what he's arrogant for and it's not the passion
or talent, it's tryna hide the insecurity for lacking both
holding back but when his back is turned to me, I'm at his throat
you heard of me, you had to know, why you acting so surprised?
lines I write are so official I don't have to notarize
I know whenever a set of vendettas separate head for the same endeavor
instead of aiming together
to get it, they're made competitors..at their own accord
and take whatever measure the leverage is never overboard
to them.. 'cause it's them or you, but if it's them or me
I let em see the repercussions of the whoever he pretends to be
the big persona and role that you play is stronger
than what you're able to back when the act is taken up onto
the street they're like "she's so sweet
tryna rap" until they heard her finally snapping on that preemo beat
but I'm like me? I'm chilling, honestly this is light work
another thirty minute verse I probably should rewrite first
but.. I'm lazy as hell, I just say what I felt
and then release it to the people, pray they take it in well
and if they don't, guess the bad is mine
I'll just travel back in time and stop before I baffle minds so bad they fail to fathom mine

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
