I silently confound what inheres in me but is not mine
'Cause I believe in something other that what's written on the walls
How we are murdered for the pieces that are rendering it all

Now you're bringing in the kindle lights, something to believe in
Now I'm breathing in the water that you have parted in the past

You are walking like your father and you see it through his eyes
I've been reading all your markings you have always tried to hide
Set aside your feelings, like you've seen them locked inside
Unconditionally so steadfast, how a mother's always right

And I can feel it in our weakness
We have gained since we were born
Another tower of strength to leave you
As all the reasons left recede

And I know, I know
We are walking like we're falling
Still there is something you can't see

Silence comes your way, silence come, silence come

While we can sense the missing order, what you created leads you on
The machine we helped you forging tells you to wait until it's gone
You're making all the right decisions while you are not awake
Growing from a whisper the voice inside is still restrained

And I can see it grow our weakness
Into the undefinable
How we are searching through debris now
From the fear of being deceived

And I know, I know
We are walking like we're falling
Still there is something you can't see

And I know, I know
That you face a reverence to break through
To have the freedom of your will

Those walls once
Raised by greed
Stand tall while we stand still
Pay no heed
Seize by war
Hand away our lives and thus we can spiral on

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
