Island in the city, music in the air
Waiting for the feeling, and surprise: it's right there!

I dressed up in a cloth of lion
I wanted to avoid growing thin, so
That I couldn't blame myself not running faster

I took my courage, I felt so hungry
And hunger is a greed that makes you achieve
Something more than you are in now

[CHORUS I:]
I want my life, you'd better beware of my mind
But you are here and this is a hungry lion dance
I wanna hit and run and you'd better beware of my kind
'coz you're bit green and I know well what I've come here to take

I saw a big field
I saw the moonshine
I saw the black figures in horizon
Don't you be afraid of me babe
I'm faster than your fright

You shiny angel, wearing crystals
You will recognize the rebel without a pause
Still I'll wait, on the final scene before the edge

[CHORUS 2:]
I want your love, you'd better beware of my life
'coz you are near and this is a hungry lion dance
I wanna hit and run without an easy way
I'm hungry for you love and I really don't like to pass you

Island in the city, music in the air
Waiting for the feeling, and surprise: it's right there!

[CHORUS 3:]
I want your love you'd better beware of my mind
'coz you're so green and I know well where I'm aiming to
I wanna split and run without an easy way
But still you are here and I really don't like to slip you through

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.

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.
