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.
Si elle le suit, il la fuit
Si elle le fuit, il la suit
C'est ainsi, c'est inscrit
Fait d'amour et de cris
Je n'essaie pas de dire que j'avais raison
Je n'admettrai pas que j'avais tort
Tu cherches à me fuir, à tort ou à raison
Je t'aime encore
Les sangs se glacent, mais la peur y est
C'est la même menace, jamais la pensée
Et ce tatouage bleu témoigne de nos amours
Et ce tatouage bleu est sur nos coeurs pour toujours
Nous sommes liés à jamais
Nous sommes liés à jamais
Séparation des biens, mais résistance des corps
Pourtant moi je sais bien qui s'aime encore
À quoi bon te retenir au sein de nos prisons
Puisque j'irai là ou te conduit le sort
Tu cherches à me fuir, à tort ou à raison
Je t'aime encore
Le feu résiste, les souvenirs aussi
Cette exquise esquisse lie à jamais nos vies
Et ce tatouage bleu témoigne de nos amours
Et ce tatouage bleu est sur nos coeurs pour toujours
Je t'ai donné ma vie, j'ai marché sur du verre
J'ai quitté mon pays pour ton univers
Et ce tatouage bleu témoigne de nos amours
Et ce tatouage bleu est sur nos corps pour toujours
Et ce tatouage bleu témoigne de nos amours
Nous sommes liés à jamais
Nous sommes liés à jamais
Quelque chose les lie, ça se lit dans leurs yeux
Jusqu'à l'infini de leurs tatouages bleus
Si elle le fuit, il la suit
C'est ainsi, c'est inscrit
Fait d'amour et de cris
Je n'essaie pas de dire que j'avais raison
Je n'admettrai pas que j'avais tort
Tu cherches à me fuir, à tort ou à raison
Je t'aime encore
Les sangs se glacent, mais la peur y est
C'est la même menace, jamais la pensée
Et ce tatouage bleu témoigne de nos amours
Et ce tatouage bleu est sur nos coeurs pour toujours
Nous sommes liés à jamais
Nous sommes liés à jamais
Séparation des biens, mais résistance des corps
Pourtant moi je sais bien qui s'aime encore
À quoi bon te retenir au sein de nos prisons
Puisque j'irai là ou te conduit le sort
Tu cherches à me fuir, à tort ou à raison
Je t'aime encore
Le feu résiste, les souvenirs aussi
Cette exquise esquisse lie à jamais nos vies
Et ce tatouage bleu témoigne de nos amours
Et ce tatouage bleu est sur nos coeurs pour toujours
Je t'ai donné ma vie, j'ai marché sur du verre
J'ai quitté mon pays pour ton univers
Et ce tatouage bleu témoigne de nos amours
Et ce tatouage bleu est sur nos corps pour toujours
Et ce tatouage bleu témoigne de nos amours
Nous sommes liés à jamais
Nous sommes liés à jamais
Quelque chose les lie, ça se lit dans leurs yeux
Jusqu'à l'infini de leurs tatouages bleus

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.

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.

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.
This is the translation I got from Google chrome, it's a bit choppy but I can't find the English translation otherwise anywhere
If she follows him, he flees if it leaks, it follows Thus, it is written with love and cries I am not trying to say that I was right I admit that I was wrong nearest you seek to escape me, and wrongly or because nearest I love you still The blood will freeze, but the fear is is the same threat, never thought And this blue tattoo reflects our love and blue tattoo is on our hearts forever we are bound never nearest we are bound never nearest Segregation of assets, but resistance of body But I know who still loves R What good hold you in our prisons LR or go as you led the fate nearest you seek to escape me, and wrongly or because nearest I love you still The fire resistant, the memories as This exquisite sketch nearest binds our lives forever And this blue tattoo reflects our love and blue tattoo is on our hearts forever I gave you my life, I stepped on glass I left my country to your world And this blue tattoo reflects our love and blue tattoo on our body is forever and blue tattoo reflects our love we are bound never nearest we are bound never nearest Something between them, it reads in their eyes jusqu'Å• the infinite blue tattoos
