tabou
faut rien dire du tout
de nos p'tits secrets
qui devront rester jusqu'au bout
tabou
tous nos rendez-vous
dans des lieux cachés
classés X, indécents comme tout
sans goût
tabou
tous nos petits jeux
où les gens ne voient rien que du feu
jeux à dormir debout
à rendre fou
je me l'avoue
pas vous?

voulez-vous
que l'on fasse encore joujou
à se mettre sens dessus dessous
quel prétexte
allons-nous laisser en plan
bureau et appartement?
je cherche
soufflez-moi
des mensonges et des silences
sans la moindre transparence
tabou
faut rien dire du tout
rentrer bien à l'heure
se plaindre un peu, juste au cas où
tabou
tirer les verrous
faire comme d'habitude
et fuir toutes les interviews
casse-cou
surtout
trouver des idées
pour que nos jeux puissent progresser
jeux à dormir debout
à rendre fou
je me l'avoue
pas vous

pas trop tard
et avec quels accessoires
dans quel bouge, dans quel bar
nous voir
sous quel nom
et dans quelle situation
inventer d'autres façons?
je cherche
soufflez-moi
d'inavouables recettes
à nous faire perdre la tête
tabou
faut rien dire du tout

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”

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
