Baby it don't matter, anyone can see the signs, I caught you looking over, with just a little bit of a smile.
You tell him that you love him, while I'm running through your mind.
Cause I know that you know your cover will blow, it's only a matter of time,
It's not my style to try and cheat and lie, why do you sanctify something that already died, I've got something that will bring you alive

Chorus
Are ya gunna shout from the rooftops honey, tell me I'm the only one, kick him to the curb and baby don't stop running, tell me are ya gunna come get some, did you ever ask yaself the question, where the hell did I go wrong? 'cause you know when its cool, ill be waiting for you, so tell me are ya gunna come, come, come get some.

All those words your wasting, trying to tell yaself ya need more time, but what's the point in faking, when ya know ya'll never make it right,
Ya say your head is blurry, but I can't get you out of mine, I don't need to cause pressure, but I just can't let ya, go on while ya living this lie,
It's not my style to let it pass me by, why do you sanctify something that already died, I've got something that will bring you alive

Chorus
Are ya gunna shout from the rooftops honey, tell me I'm the only one, kick him to the curb and baby don't stop running, tell me are ya gunna come get some, did you ever ask yaself the question, where the hell did I go wrong? 'cause you know when its cool, ill be waiting for you, so tell me are ya gunna come, come, come get some.

(Crushed out and waiting)
(Black tiled and fading)
(Freaked out and shaking)
Just breaking for you (breaking for you)

I can't go on like this forever!!

Chorus
Are ya gunna shout from the rooftops honey, tell me I'm the only one, kick him to the curb and baby don't stop running, tell me are ya gunna come get some, did you ever ask yaself the question, where the hell did I go wrong? 'cause you know when its cool, ill be waiting for you, so tell me are ya gunna come, come, come get some.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.
