Your comin' home - there's blood on the walls and charlie
And the family made house calls. If you're alone then watch
What you do 'cos charlie and the family might get you.

Can you hear them in the darkness, helter skelter, spiral
Madness, yeah, bloodbath in paradise, but there's no where
You can run to baby, bloodbath in paradise, forever sleep in
Paradise.

California sun - but you're still in bed and the California rain
Is turning red. No sign of life or the keepers of doom in
Charlie and the keeper's scarlet room.

Can you hear them in the darkness, helter skelter, spiral
Madness, yah, bloodbath in paradise, but there's no where
You can run to baby, bloodbath in paradise - forever sleep in
Paradise.

They'll summon you, to wake from the dead as you lie
Bleeding, murdered in your bed. The sweetest dreams are all
In your mind but no one wakes when charlie creeps behind,
Yeah.

Execution halts your breath, helter skelter spiral death,
Bloodbath in paradise, but there's no where you break out baby,
Bloodbath in paradise, forever sleep in paradise.

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.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
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
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
