I was born an amputee inside here
Who can't turn and pledge allegiance
We just fall inline + we just fall behind
We default your procreation
We default your assassination

Paralysed
We're paralysed

We are born from you-we've come to
Calvin Klein's the killer
They want to, look like you
Calvin Klein's the killer

This fashion is a warning sign
You were shot for your division
We just fall behind and we just fall inline

Paralysed
We're paralysed

Cause Calvin Klein's the killer
Versace now is the killer
Calvin Klein's the killer
Versace now is the killer

Paralysed

    Its about how trends and fashion and commercialism are killing individuality. Amen are one of the best punk bands around, and no one can beat they're live shows

    Yeah, Casey Chaos, is a right nutter, this song's great though for the whole fashion fuck you slant. Great punk band with an amazing lead singer with a sweet ass voice.

    I can't believe how few people have commented about this band, they are class. I saw them in birmingham, (england) and they were insane!

    Yes, pretty obviously about the fashion shit. And yeah Amen are great and amazing live, but they were better before Casey Choas reorganised his back-line.

    Casey didn't re-organize it, they all quit. And I can't speak for how good they are live, but i think Death Before MusicK is their best album yet.

    But then, your comment came before that album came 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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
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.

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.
Album art
Plastic Bag
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.
