J'étais toute seule sur l'autoroute
J'en étais à deux heures de pluie
Et je m'disais y'a aucun doute
Ma petite Patou, t'es mal partie
Pas le moindre camion-citerne
Pas la lumière d'un restaurant
Et je m'suis dit, c'est bien ta veine
Dire que t'as même pas cinquante francs, sur toi

Qu'est-c't'as dans la tête
Qu'est-c't'as dans la tête
Pour t'trouver toujours, dis
Sur une autre planète
Sans boîte d'allumettes
À la tombée du jour

J'étais plantée devant le studio
En attendant mes musiciens
J'avais envie d'un café chaud
J'regardais l'heure, j'rongeais mon frein
J'avais l'idée mais pas les mots
J'avais l'couplet mais pas l'refrain
Quelqu'un m'a dit t'en fais pas trop
On enregistre que demain, ça va

Qu'est-c't'as dans la tête
T'es tellement distraite
Tu t'retrouveras toujours, dis
Sur une vieille banquette
Effacée, discrète
En attendant ton tour
En attendant ton tour

J'étais assise dans la cuisine
J'regardais les actualités
Après comme a dit la speakerine
Y'a un film qu'il faut pas rater
Alors je me suis mise au lit
J'ai débranché mon téléphone
Et puis le film m'a endormie
Et toi, ça fait deux heures qu'tu sonnes, chez moi

Qu'est-c't'as dans la tête
Qu'est-c't'as dans la tête
T'oublieras toujours, dis
D'être à l'heure et prête
Pour un dîner d'fête
Pour une histoire d'amour

Qu'est-c't'as dans la tête
Qu'est-c't'as dans la tête
Pour t'trouver toujours, dis
Sur une autre planète
Sans boîte d'allumettes
À la tombée du jour

Qu'est-c't'as dans la tête
Qu'est-c't'as dans la tête
T'oublieras toujours, dis
D'être à l'heure et prête
Pour un dîner d'fête
Pour une histoire d'amour

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

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”

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
