Light switch, yellow fever, crawling up your bathroom wall.
Singing psychedelic praises to the depths of the china bowl.
You've got venom in your stomach, You've got poison in your head.
You should have listen to the priest at the
Confession when he offered you the sacred bread.

He knows, you know, he knows, you know.
He knows, you know, but he's got problems.

Fast feed, crystal fever, swarming through a fractured mind.
Chilling needles freeze emotion, the blind shall lead the blind.
You've got venom in your stomach, You've got poison in your head.
When your conscience whispered, the vein lines stiffened;
You were walking with the dead.

He knows, you know, he knows, you know, he knows, you know.
He's got experience, he's got experience, he knows you know.
But he's got problems, problems, problems.

He knows... Slash wrists, scarlet fever.
Crawl under your bedroom door.
Pumping arteries ooze their problems
Through the gap that the razor tore.
You've got venom in your stomach,
You've got poison in your head.
You should have listened to your analyst's
Questions when you lay on his leather bed.

He knows, you know, he knows, you know.
He knows, you know, but he's got problems.

Blank eyes, purple fever, streaming through the frosted panes.
You learned your lesson far too late, from the links in a chemist chain.
You've got venom in your stomach, You've got poison in your head.
You should have stayed at home and talked
With father, listen to the lies he fed.

He knows, you know, he knows, you know.
He knows, you know, but he's got problems.
He knows, you know, he knows, you know.
He knows, you know he's got experience.
He's got experience, he knows you know.

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.

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”

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
