"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.
I think I'm in love love love
I think I'm in love love love
I think I'm in love love love
Love love
She think she in love love love
She think she in love love love
She think she in love love love
She fallen in love
Canary Diamonds on my fist on wrist and on my neck
Ms. lady say she know my name and I ain't even told her yet
No need ta introduce myself, I let my money do the greeting
So conceited, that if she ain't worth talking to then I'm not speakin'
(Gucci!)
I'm so single ay lets mingle, can I buy you some champagne
And my sex game gladiator tell me are you entertained
I'm an entertainer Baby but my name ain't Cedric
I got cheddar and et cetera.
So stop the rhetoric
But enough about me baby, sweetie tell bout ya self
Are you married or divorced, don't gotta tell me that's your choice
I like ya voice I like ya swag
So let nature take its course,
Maybe in the future
Gorgeous I can buy ya ass a Porsche
(Gucci!)
I think I'm in love love love
I think I'm in love love love
I think I'm in love love love
Love love
She think she in love love love
She think she in love love love
She think she in love love love
She fallen in love
Don't be shy, you and I
Me and You can be as one
I cant lie, won't deny
Every time with you is fun
In Dubai, London, Paris baby, we can watch the sun
Set and rise
Or just lay back on the beach and watch the sky
(Gucci!)
She's been sent to me, lent to me
I feel she is God's gift to me
Its Gucci mane on the mic'
While Zay control the symphony
No twistin' it she swichin' it but she not all promiscuous
Its obvious she's marvelous and wants to be a part of this
I give her 1,000 percent but this that 50, 50 shit
I'm wealthy and I'm healthy so cut off that boy you kickin' wit'
Give her 1,000 percent but this that 50, 50 shit
I'm wealthy and I'm healthy so cut off that lame you kick it wit'
I think I'm in love love love
I think I'm in love love love
I think I'm in love love love
Love love
She think she in love love love
She think she in love love love
She think she in love love love
She fallen in love
Dinner date, please don't be late
I'm fiending and don't wanna wait
Sex so hot and passionate
It'll make her hyperventilate
Yea I'm a bachelor but I'm workin' my masters
And no I'm not a doctor but my money
Go way past one, shes hotter than my last one
Sexy like my last chick I'm checkin' out her assets
Her ex-boyfriend is past tense
I talk to her, I listen to her text her then she text me
I rap to her she walks to me and damn her walk is sexy
Our last night was so good I think about her next day
More but then four ashtrays she told me boy you crazy
Burnin' all my candles and lighting all my incense
I'm givin' her my imprint cause damn I like her accent
I think I'm in love love love
I think I'm in love love love
I think I'm in love love love
Love love
She think she in love love love
She think she in love love love

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
