Look me in my eyes, tell me what you see
Do you think I'm crazy? (I! Yo, look at me)
Sometimes I want to die, maybe I'll be free
Free from all this bullshit that's constantly surroundin' me
(I can't feel it in my head) I see when I'm asleep
I don't wish to discustin, cause it done been too deep
I'm tired of bein' stepped on, and past around like weed
Look me in my eyes(Look me in my eyes),
and tell me what you see(and tell me what you see)
Do you see my future, and what lies down the line?
Is it just my test, or is it just my time?
Time for me to pay, for all the wrong I've did
I forgot to be picked off, when I was just a kid
A poison in my mind, tryin' to find relief
But I can't get no peace, cause Shoemaukers been chasin' me
Tryin' to set me up, bustin' down my streets
Blockin' up my door, seekin' into catchin' me
But I don't sell no dope, so fuck what nigga's say
Fuck runnin' ???, and fuck da D.E.A.
And fuck these undercover's, that lock me up for weeks
You can search me all you want to, but you won't find no cheese
And I ain't finna snitch, cause I don't know a thang
Don't ask me shit bout Steve, don't ask me shit bout Jane
I know you crackas pissed off, I can see it in your eyes
I'm down with Rap-A-Lot, until the day that I die(Until the day that I die)
So fuck you in ya asses, you know it's all a lie
You just want to destroy me, just like you did my guy
But now I must expose you, and tell my boys the truth
Listen up my niggaz: "The F.B.I. been watchin' you"
Especially if you black, and tryin' to leave the streets
And get off in this music, you see the way they doin' me
Runnin' in my crib, makin' niggaz lie
Nigga get escaped opened, take this 25
You know I ain't no dopeboy, ain't never been a mule
I admit I use to sell rocks, but that was back in school
Now I just do music, and smoke a little weed
but not enough to run a dope house, so why you fuck with me?

[Chorus]
Look me in my eyes!
Will you look in my eyes, and tell me do you see what I see?(My eyes!)
Will you look in my eyes, and tell me do you see a Geeeeeeeee?

Look me in my eyes, I've told 'em all I could tell you
And now you know too much, if you lead a word I'll kill you
You think that I'm insane, partially deranged?
You've had your chance to pick my brain, now explain
Whatsup with all these nightmares, there's more rewind the road
It leads me to the same place where I started from
right before I left home(Look me in my eyes!)
I thought you was a shrink
Diagnosed my symptons, I give you time to think
OK your time is up, now analyze my life
Please remove your glasses, look me in my eyes
(Look me in my eyes, my eyes)
You seemed to be confused, I raised up off his sofa
Put back on my shoes, because this sessions over
I headed for the door, he stopped me in my tracks
He said he had an answer, he told me to come back
?
But he stopped the reverberations, and then he spoke the truth
And told me all my answers, I was findin' in his book
If I just stopped and looked, if I just stopped and looked
Told me to seek in he who seeks he shall find
Then he put back on his glasses, and looked me in my eyes
Looked me in my eyes

[Chorus: x2]

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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”

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.
