You're walking in the woods.
There's no one around, and your phone is dead.
Out of the corner of your eye you spot him.
(Shia LaBeouf.)

He's following you, about 30 feet back.
He gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint.
He's gaining on you!
(Shia LaBeouf.)

You're looking for your car,
But you're all turned around.
He's almost upon you now and you can see there's blood on his face.
My god, there's blood everywhere!

Running for your life
(From Shia LaBeouf.)
He's brandishing a knife.
(It's Shia LaBeouf.)
Lurking in the shadows,
Hollywood superstar Shia LaBeouf.
Living in the woods,
(Shia LaBeouf.)
Killing for sport,
(Shia LaBeouf.)
Eating all the bodies,
Actual cannibal Shia LaBeouf.

Now it's dark and you seem to have lost him,
But you're hopelessly lost yourself, stranded with a murderer.
You creep silently through the underbrush.
A-ha! In the distance, a small cottage with a light on.
Hope!
You move stealthily toward it,
But your leg! AH! It's caught in a bear trap!

Gnawing off your leg,
(Quiet, quiet.)
Limping toward the cottage,
(Quiet, quiet.)
Now you're on the doorstep,
Sitting inside, Shia LaBeouf.
Sharpening an ax,
(Shia LaBeouf.)
But he doesn't hear you enter,
(Shia LaBeouf.)
You're sneaking up behind him.
Strangling superstar Shia LaBeouf.
Fighting for your life with Shia LaBeouf,
Wrestling a knife from Shia LaBeouf,
Stab it in his kidney.
Safe at last from Shia LaBeouf.

You limp into the dark woods, blood oozing from your stump leg.
You've beaten Shia LaBeouf.

Wait! He isn't dead!
Shia surprise!
There's a gun to your head, and death in his eyes
But you can do Jiu Jitsu
(You can do it)
Body slam superstar Shia LaBeouf
Legendary fight with Shia LaBeouf
Normal Tuesday night for Shia LaBeouf
You try to swing an axe at Shia LaBeouf
But blood is draining fast from your stump leg.
He's dodging every swipe, he parries to the left,
You counter to the right, you catch him in the neck,
You're chopping off his head now,
You have just decapitated Shia LaBeouf!

His head topples to the floor, expressionless.
You fall to your knees and catch your breath.
You're finally safe from Shia LaBeouf.

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.

No Surprises
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.

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.
