"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.
Veo lo que creo ver y no veo más
De lo que pueda contar no recuerdo nada
No hay necesidad de cantarlo más
Creo creer, temo temer que esto es verdad
La vida se nubló en su totalidad
Estoy perdido
Y no sé mirar lo que dejé allá atrás
En ese camino largo que un día me vio caminar
Nació esta ciega herida
Que borró hoy día mi ayer
Personas extrañas hablan de quien fui
Pretenden darme calor sin que sepa nada
No hay necesidad ni siquiera de llorar por estar así
Mi amnesia me dice absolutamente nada más
Que esta sensación de ansiedad
En ese camino largo que un día me vio caminar
Quemé una biografía
Y soplé cenizas del ayer
No intenten enseñarme
Quien me quiso y a quien debo amar
Comienza el día cero
Y mañana su continuidad
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Y soplé cenizas del ayer
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Y soplé cenizas de mi ayer
No intenten enseñarme
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Quien me quiso y a quien debo amar
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Quien me quiso y a quien debo amar
De lo que pueda contar no recuerdo nada
No hay necesidad de cantarlo más
Creo creer, temo temer que esto es verdad
La vida se nubló en su totalidad
Estoy perdido
Y no sé mirar lo que dejé allá atrás
En ese camino largo que un día me vio caminar
Nació esta ciega herida
Que borró hoy día mi ayer
Personas extrañas hablan de quien fui
Pretenden darme calor sin que sepa nada
No hay necesidad ni siquiera de llorar por estar así
Mi amnesia me dice absolutamente nada más
Que esta sensación de ansiedad
En ese camino largo que un día me vio caminar
Quemé una biografía
Y soplé cenizas del ayer
No intenten enseñarme
Quien me quiso y a quien debo amar
Comienza el día cero
Y mañana su continuidad
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Y soplé cenizas del ayer
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Y soplé cenizas de mi ayer
No intenten enseñarme

Sha da da da daun
Quien me quiso y a quien debo amar
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Sha da da da daun
Quien me quiso y a quien debo amar

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
what can i say of this song?, well, it means how can we grow up in our destiny, the way we let the past away, the way in what we become a human being with feelings...etc,
Esta canción me habla acerca de como vamos progresando en superar una relación fallida... Desde el principio cuando no queremos aceptar la realidad "veo lo que creo ver y no veo más", "la vida se nubló en su totalidad". El camino largo es la relación y lo que duró, mientras se formaba una herida que borro el ayer... después de cortar en realidad pierdes una parte de tÃ. Al final de la canción como que ha avanzado el tiempo, "quemé una biografÃa y sople cenizas del ayer" comienza el dÃa cero y mañana su continuidad.... en realidad se empieza de cero y para adelante. al menos eso pienso yo
