So this is really how it goes
When you believe in something
So much that it hurts
It was my solemn oath
To achieve the near impossible
And I paid the toll
Predition was never too far off
Close the top
The ideals that had carried me so far
Would not be stopped

Higher than the height of all reason
I couldn't let go of the notion that one day I'd reach it
If I kept believing

It was a one way track
I made the choice of never looking back
A dead end path
My undeniable truth
That could never be disproved
Such an earnest fool
Predition was never too far off
Close to the top
The ideals that had carried me so far
Would not be stopped

But at the end of the tunnel
I saw a light that wasn't guiding, I was blind
It was the bottom of the well
I was so caught up in my own reflection
And into my abyss I fell
I got just what I wanted all along

And in the course of my descent, I discovered wieghtlessness
It became evident
As I neared oblivion
That I had one of two options
Most fall feet frist like cowards
But I dove headlong into beyond

Higher than the height of all reason
I couldn't let go of the notion that one day I'd reach it
If I kept believing
But at the end of the tunnel
I saw a light that wasn't guiding, I was blind
It was the bottom of the well
I was so caught up in my own reflection
And into my abyss I fell
I got just what I wanted all along
I'd reached the apex of hope's spires
The furthest point from non-belief
The altitude was perilous
And temptation surmonted gravity, and now I'm gone

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.

Cajun Girl
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”
