Falling Into History

Avril Lavigne

It don't matter what people say
I never did believe them
I know, I know they know everything
I'll be alright by myself
And no one's gonna tell me
I'm defined, confined by love

Now our days seem strange
I guess my heart was bound to change

[Chorus]
I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history
I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history

I never thought that I'd say that I don't really miss you
I lived, I breathed your breath through me
Time has a way of passing by
Until I don't remeber why or how to hurt for you

Love's pain has gone somewhere
And I'm finally there, right there

[Chorus]
I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history
I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history -y-

Falling into, falling into, you're falling into history, yeah
Falling into, falling into, you're falling into history

[Chorus]
I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history
I fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view and you're falling into history

I'll be alright by myself
And no one's gonna tell me I'm defined, confined by love

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
