I did everything you did to me to you
But I?m out of ammunition
So I?ll take these words and fire then into your chest
Find a new place for them to rest
I Sieze up your insides scarring your flesh
Open up and let them in


I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll hand you the sharpest one
To place it right in my back
Yeah!

You did everything to me I did to you
This is the last song that your getting
Cuz we?re through
The only thing left perfect
Was things we put between us
Cuz you know I?m always right
And your postcards are saying
How good it feels not to have you here

I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll hand you the sharpest one
To place it right in my back


So far so good
It takes a miracle
You?re only half as good as someone to hear me in this well
Your last word isn?t

I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass

I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll hand you the sharpest one
To place it right in my back

    I'll write your name across the wall With all the blood that spills from my heart Break my limbs and strech my skin Until my hands can reach across the floor Feel for this pile of broken glass I'll hand you the sharpest one To place it right in my back its sang so beautiful

    I can't believe there hasn't been as many comments on this song. Its the first song I heard by Halifax and what made me realize what an amazing band they are. I haven't been listening to them too long so I don't know too much about them, but I think the song is another break up song. By looking at the chorus, she has no feelings for him anymore, yet he still cares for her greatly. Then at other times he's glad she's gone...

    "You did everything to me I did to you This is the last song that your getting Cuz we're through The only thing left perfect Was things we put between us Cuz you know I?m always right And your postcards are saying How good it feels not to have you here"

    I think its just a song about his mixed feelings about this girl.

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
Album art
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.
