Tell me with Perfection in your voice
That you never really had a choice
Place on me the burden of the past
Offer me the future and take it back

Show me what you never meant to show
Tell me what I'm not supposed to know
Contradict me when you're in the wrong
Don't commit to anything at all

My life is null and void
Dismantled and destroyed
My life is null and void
My life is null and void

Fill me with compassion and concern
Thrill me with an unexpected turn
Tempt me with the secrets that you hold
Don't divulge until you're in control

Show me what you never meant to show
Tell me what I'm not supposed to know
Contradict me when you're in the wrong
Don't commit to anything at all

My life is null and void
Dismantled and destroyed
My life is null and void
My life is null and void

My life is null and void
Dismantled and destroyed
My life is null and void
My life is null and void

My life is null and void
Dismantled and destroyed
My life is null and void
My life is null and void

    We think it is about an abusive relationship.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
