Pressure

Officer Negative

You joke and laugh
And put me down
Spit and cuss me
With a frown

Mocking things
Behind my back
Do we really need all that
Hating me for my belief

Is that the way ils suppose to be
Where you talk of unity
Jesus Christ will set you free
The pressure is on me

For what I believe
The pressure is on me
To stand for Christ in me
Have you become

What you hate
Hard-core life
You demonstrate
Hating God with worldly cries

Where's your open-minded eyes
More punk rock than
The other one's
Your piercing tats

Are still not done
More hard-core in your scene
Hating Christians is your thing
It not hard to figure out

What we believe
So you can try
And drag us down
God's on our side

We will succeed
So what has happened here
Are you gonna live in fear
Take a stand for what is right

Me and Christ are going to fight
Don't be ashamed
You might be blamed
But share the new today

That Christ is the only way.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
