Um, um
Caught up in a web of deception, from this shit I done learned new lessons
So what you do, you keep on playing, you play on, player
From love to confusion you keep getting but you keep los' sun
So what ya find comforting you've proven, booz 'on, heart bruis' on
I'm the one, from the high note to the low pains you see destruction but your like a man,
All the voices their hid in your head, they all laugh ha ha ha ha ha yeah
From your denials to your delusions everything you gain you keep los' son
What you not know it's an elusion, so what the hell your doing

He's looking and looking, he's looking and looking, he's looking and looking
He's looking at you, he's looking at me, he's looking and looking
He's looking and looking, he's looking at you, he's looking at me
He's looking at us, he's looking at we, ah shit
He's looking at

You wake up every morning but baby boy your not sleep
Your test full but your not on
Your running fast but your not on your feet and your speed is there
You run on but you not know, your climb inside but you can't grow
Festering and festering 'til you fall to the floor
You screamed on but don't say
You work and work with no pay, you punch a clock but never end your day
You take vacation but your not playing what we say by this time here my friends drink three
You cry cry revolution, but which you want a solution
But your more content being in pollution jump in the motion, and ask the notion

He's looking and looking, he's looking and looking, he's looking and looking
He's looking at you, he's looking at me, he's looking at looking
He's looking and looking, he's looking and you, he's looking at me
He's looking at us, he's looking at we, ah shit
He's looking at

Self love self preservation, Self love self preservation, Self love self preservation
Self love self preservation, Self love self preservation, Self love self preservation
He's looking at Self love self preservation, Self love self preservation, Self love self preservation
Repeat

L O V E love yourself
L O V E love yourself
Repeat

If you don't like your job, why don't you just quit stop being a bitch love yourself
If you believe things kind work out easily,
I'm telling you if you don't like what your mother?s telling you
Then be a grown man and stand up on your own two and love yourself
If your girlfriend?s is on welfare, then baby walk away
You don't have to care and love yourself
And if standing on the corner and pushing rocks up in your sock
Ain't what you want to do to night then love yourself

L O V E your L O V E your L O V E self
He's looking at love

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
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.

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.
