this whole world's in a rush to be living plush, but never rich enough,
till that mirrors such a stranger we asking is it us?
losing your vision, make one stupid decision,
you've become the newest victim of the human condition
it's a crying shame; honestly it's a survival game,
while we die in vein making somebody rich,
like we scared of taking that step,
every days just another that escaped us if we don't make an affect,
back seat revolutionaries ain't lions at heart,
even the slightest of sparks can light up the dark,
and everybody want a piece of the action,
like peace and relaxing become a niche for the deceased and the lacking,
success, pleasures of the flesh and beheld,
treasures and the endless excess in which we measure ourselves,
i've faith in my fam, so i can relate to the fans,
hope they understand how grateful i am

c'mon
we do it right here, right now,
with my peers, my house,
and fight here till the day we're gone and rest in white clouds,
life here, life out,
if i'm a die here with my doubt's,
then as night nears we're gonna do it till they turn the lights out

right here, right now,
with my peers, my house,
and fight here till the day we're gone and rest in white clouds,
life here, life out,
if i'm a die here with my doubt's,
then as night nears we're gonna do it till they turn the lights out

and it starts with us, seeking an everlasting rush,
pharmaceutical market drugs, liquor or grass and dust,
murder, lust, self-worth, hurt and trust,
burden us like a curse till we turn to dust,
keeping us on like we're marching to the beat of a gong,
freedom is from our own hearts and those we leave them upon,
lingering on through the words that we sing in our songs,
even a strong foundation we could blink and it's gone,
so we carve out our marks and master our own path,
in a castle of glass our hearts where our homes are,
wars in our vein, that's why we walk in the rain,
of course if the name burns brighter it was forged in the flame,
and you'll never get a break until your dead or make fifty,
and a pension ain't a pay you resonate with me?
i've faith in my fam, so i can relate to the fans,
i hope they understand how grateful i am

c'mon
we do it right here, right now,
with my peers, my house,
and fight here till the day we're gone and rest in white clouds,
life here, life out,
if i'm a die here with my doubt's,
then as night nears we're gonna do it till they turn the lights out

right here, right now,
with my peers, my house,
and fight here till the day we're gone and rest in white clouds,
life here, life out,
if i'm a die here with my doubt's,
then as night nears we're gonna do it till they turn the lights out

c'mon
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, till it's lights out
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, somebody say
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, till it's lights out
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go
c'mon
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, till it's lights out
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, till it's lights out

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
