seventy five outgoing calls
each one of them to you
sometimes i wish i could turn off my mind
detach my brain
and hand it to a stranger passing me by

i had to learn the hard way
that friends like these come but once in a life time

seventy five outgoing calls
each one of them to you
sometimes i wonder if you out there still
waiting on me, these days i sit alone thinking only of you

i had to learn the hard way that absense make the faint heart wonder

could be in the crystal clarity we've gone nowhere?
but it comes the moment i find you

overshadow me
take me from this place you found me in
this shooting star will burn out bright
disappoint me
do what you must do
to get through me
your call is deeper than my fall

i ran to where the sidewalk ends
then sent this transmission
sometimes it seems as though your tracking me
but i dont mind
the boy whos left here now thinking only of you

i see you driving southbound
the midwest sun beats you off in the distance

could be in the crystal clarity we've gone nowhere?
but it comes the moment i find you

overshadow me
take me from this place you found me in
this shooting star will burn out bright
disappoint me
do what you must do, suprise me
your call is deeper than my fall

its all inside my mind
i have traveled way to far to find
you are not at home
how does this end
its all inside my mind
i have traveled far to long to find
if you make believe
lets play pretend

overshadow me
take me from this place you found me in
this shooting star will burn out bright
(you know your ment for better things)
disappoint me
do what you must do
to get through me
your call is deeper than my fall

after all

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.

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
