Well I am, what I am, what I am, could be who you are?
Is your pain, when you smile 'cause you built a wall around your heart?
Do the thoughts in your head keep you up 'cause you feel alone?
And are you strong enough to be yourself?

My papa used to say
You're just a loser
And you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say
All that loud music you play ain't gonna get you nowhere

Na naa, you gotta be yourself
Na naa, you gotta be yourself

If you cried, would you hide?
Would you want all the world to know?
And if you believe in love, would you let it show?
Are you in, are you hip, are you cool?
Do you try too hard?
Or are you strong enough to be yourself?
Wait

My papa used to say
You're just a loser
And you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say
All that loud music you play ain't gonna get you nowhere

My papa used to say
You're just a loser
And you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say
All that loud music you play ain't gonna get you nowhere

Na naa, you gotta be yourself
Na naa, you gotta be yourself

If you can't, can't oh, be yourself, what are you living for?
If you can't, can't oh, be yourself, you're gonna lose it all
If you can't, can't oh, be yourself, what are you living for?
You're gonna find someday, you gotta run away
You gotta run, run, run, run away

My papa used to say
You're just a loser
And you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say
All that loud music you play ain't gonna get you nowhere

Na naa, you gotta be yourself
Na naa, you gotta be yourself
Na naa, you gotta be yourself
Na naa, you gotta be yourself

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
