We all just fade away,
This jungle is too much,
But we fight through every waking day,
Through the pain,
Through the strain,
Shadow box to the main stage,
We're the main event,
We are all dead,
Have we lost our heads?
It just doesn't make sense,
Any more...
All my dreams are set in stone,
All my goals made in to gold,
But I've watched them fall,
Time and time again until I go blind,
I've watched them decrystalize,
I've watched them turn to ice,
And crash and fall and melt to the crust of this earth,
It's all just a ticking time bomb...
I wanna watch it all come down...
And through it all,
I look to the very end and your miles away
Slowly digging my grave...
I am melting away,
You're such a killer
You're just one step away...
I have nothing,
I am nothing but dirt,
I want to run away from this nightmare,
This sinking feeling is in my head,
I feel the dragon rushing through my veins,
And tear it out...
I wanna get away,
I wanna run away...

    beautiful song. vauge enough that many can enjoy and apply our own experiences to.it's about persoanl experiences, and a loss of dreams..... and wanting an escape from a reality that is all too true. kind of depressing if you think about it. but a beautiful song nonetheless.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.

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.
