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.
Guns and ammo lie in front of you
The clips are all loaded, now what shall you do?
This is how it starts when the end glows wildly in the dark
This is how it starts when the last breath ends the last spark
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter,
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter!!
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
The Desert Eagle spreads its wings for you
Kiss the cold steel then let the bullets come through
This is the ultimate end, I'll make it sure that you will see
As I shall kiss the cold steel and see how dark this day really can be
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter,
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter!!
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
Bite the blank steel now let the bullets come through
The silver eagle says it's time to
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Come on and do it now
The last ammunition
I'm going to show you how!
This is how it must end, So bright shines the pistol
This is how I'll feel when the last clip is falling
And the barrels are glowing tonight
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
And fall to the ground!
The clips are all loaded, now what shall you do?
This is how it starts when the end glows wildly in the dark
This is how it starts when the last breath ends the last spark
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter,
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter!!
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
The Desert Eagle spreads its wings for you
Kiss the cold steel then let the bullets come through
This is the ultimate end, I'll make it sure that you will see
As I shall kiss the cold steel and see how dark this day really can be
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter,
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter!!
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
Bite the blank steel now let the bullets come through
The silver eagle says it's time to
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Come on and do it now
The last ammunition
I'm going to show you how!
This is how it must end, So bright shines the pistol
This is how I'll feel when the last clip is falling
And the barrels are glowing tonight
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
And fall to the ground!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

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”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think it's talking about a suicide rush. Kill them all, and hold nothing back, because you won't be alive to need anything.
