Time's up
Get on the way leave right now
Something's got me started, but I can't tell you how
It just took ten times to take what I've become
But if it starts right now, then it's only just begun

Look out now to see evening fields and cricket bats
Two times past with turning heads
This is all to see

    Although the printed lyrics are simply my discovery after many many difficult listens I think they are accurate. The space marked with (??) is still unkown to me. Hopefully someone can shed some light into that. The high pitched vocals blend really nicely with the backdrop of sound. This is great for the song's sake but murder when trying to decipher those words. Still, I hope these at least help you enjoy the song more :)

    I can't understand all of the lyrics, but some of what I hear is different from the words above:

    Time's up, get on the way and be right now. Something's got me started, but I can't tune it out. It just took ten times to take what I've become, But it starts right now, and it's only just begun.

    Look out now to see fields and cricket bats Take [Tom's mouse] for the complaining cats This is all to see.

    The change I'm pretty confident about is "fields and cricket bats"-- it sounds fairly clear to me.

    The mouse thing... I'm not so sure. It sounds like it could be "time's" instead of Tom's, and the next word certainly sounds like "mouse" to me (which would fit with the cats), but could be mouths or something else entirely.

    The last line is probably wrong, too. If you listen carefully, it sounds like there's a another syllable in there (bettwen the "all" and "to" sounds... like a "just" or something). I tried out the last line as "This is odyssey" but it wouldn't work because of that half syllable I hear (which could, of course, be unusual echo).

    Such a difficult to decipher song.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
