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.
Every night devise new heights in genocide.
Lover, I am loveless
All my friends and I toast health and suicide.
Lover, I am lonely
Were you holding hands when
my palms bled?
Oh, I will be all right.
Just use me. Just use me
The future's bright without me
Spend some time walking the line
World is unified. Ennui, and I divide
Lover I am loveless
Red days and burning might bleed 'til the faceless die
Oh, lover I am lonely
Were you holding hands when
my wrists bled?
Oh, I will be all right.
Just use me. Just use me
The future's bright without me
Spend some time walking the line
Spend some time walking the line
So stay sweetly numb
Remain lifeless, love
Stay sweetly numb
Maintain lifeless Love
Stay sweetly numb
Remain lifeless, love
Oh, I will be all right.
Just use me. Just use me
The future's bright without me
Spend some time walking the line
Spend some time walking the line
Lover, I am loveless
All my friends and I toast health and suicide.
Lover, I am lonely
Were you holding hands when
my palms bled?
Oh, I will be all right.
Just use me. Just use me
The future's bright without me
Spend some time walking the line
World is unified. Ennui, and I divide
Lover I am loveless
Red days and burning might bleed 'til the faceless die
Oh, lover I am lonely
Were you holding hands when
my wrists bled?
Oh, I will be all right.
Just use me. Just use me
The future's bright without me
Spend some time walking the line
Spend some time walking the line
So stay sweetly numb
Remain lifeless, love
Stay sweetly numb
Maintain lifeless Love
Stay sweetly numb
Remain lifeless, love
Oh, I will be all right.
Just use me. Just use me
The future's bright without me
Spend some time walking the line
Spend some time walking the line

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.

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”

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.
I love this song it is my favorite one from the album which is wierd because usually i dont like a lot of screaming but i guess there are always special exceptions... great song, needs more comments
