In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Yeah and this time comes in my life, hey what's your story
Save your conscience
For some other cheap soul Puerto Rican spiritual number
And I thought "The further from home, the closer to you"
I need a whiskey, I'm bleeding gasoline
You play the starring role in my psychedelic dream
Don't need no witness, don't need no referee
They're running hot tonight, her danger symphony
Please don't save me
Don't tell me when it's time to go
It could not faze me
I only want to let you know
Bitch is back, right on track
Bitch is back, I like it like that
Let me come inside your sacred heart
Let me feel your warm embrace
I love you, hate you, confiscate you
Can't live without your face
If you're in jail, I pay your bail
I shouldn't but it's a fact
Stop the world in motion, swim the ocean
Just to get you back
Please don't save me
Don't tell me when it's time to go
It, it could not faze me
I only want to let you know
Bitch is back, right on track
Bitch is back, I like it like that, yes I do
Bitch
There ain't no justice, no need to compromise
There's so much mystery, behind those steel blue eyes
She give me music, she give me sanctuary
She moves just like the wind, her dark identity
Please don't save me
Don't tell me when it's time to go
It could not faze me
I only want to let you know
Bitch is back
Save your conscience
For some other cheap soul Puerto Rican spiritual number
And I thought "The further from home, the closer to you"
I need a whiskey, I'm bleeding gasoline
You play the starring role in my psychedelic dream
Don't need no witness, don't need no referee
They're running hot tonight, her danger symphony
Please don't save me
Don't tell me when it's time to go
It could not faze me
I only want to let you know
Bitch is back, right on track
Bitch is back, I like it like that
Let me come inside your sacred heart
Let me feel your warm embrace
I love you, hate you, confiscate you
Can't live without your face
If you're in jail, I pay your bail
I shouldn't but it's a fact
Stop the world in motion, swim the ocean
Just to get you back
Please don't save me
Don't tell me when it's time to go
It, it could not faze me
I only want to let you know
Bitch is back, right on track
Bitch is back, I like it like that, yes I do
Bitch
There ain't no justice, no need to compromise
There's so much mystery, behind those steel blue eyes
She give me music, she give me sanctuary
She moves just like the wind, her dark identity
Please don't save me
Don't tell me when it's time to go
It could not faze me
I only want to let you know
Bitch is back

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
