High life
When you leave me
The bed is empty
And I feel crazy
Cause I didn't say anything
I wish you would tell me
How you really feel
But you'll never tell me
Cause that's not our deal
When you leave me
You take away everything
You take all my money
You take all my weed
I wish you would tell me
How you really feel
But you'll never tell me
Cause that's not our deal
I wish you would tell me
How you really feel
But you'll never tell me
Cause that's not our deal
That's your deal
That's not my deal
That's your my deal
That's not my deal
That's your my deal
That's not my deal
That's your my deal
That's not my deal
The bed is empty
And I feel crazy
Cause I didn't say anything
I wish you would tell me
How you really feel
But you'll never tell me
Cause that's not our deal
When you leave me
You take away everything
You take all my money
You take all my weed
I wish you would tell me
How you really feel
But you'll never tell me
Cause that's not our deal
I wish you would tell me
How you really feel
But you'll never tell me
Cause that's not our deal
That's your deal
That's not my deal
That's your my deal
That's not my deal
That's your my deal
That's not my deal
That's your my deal
That's not my deal

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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
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.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
it's obviously about her cat
amazing
I believe it's a Friends With Benefits situation gone bad. The narrator developed feelings outside of what they agreed on and now the narrator is beginning to feel like the FWB is taking advantage by borrowing money, smoking the narrator's weed, etc. But all the narrator wants is a relationship; but doesn't know if saying it would end whatever they currently have or actually result in what the narrator thinks they want.
This song is the best to crank up when you're driving around with the windows down out on back roads. Love Best Coast.
Sounds about right.
this song is a great song to sing to in the car in a rainy day when you feeling down .
but of course the song is about her being in love with someone i guess her friend but i guess her little friend with benefit doesn't want to have any part of it anymore and since he just leaving her with no explanation she is feeling crazy for the guy and she just want to be with him but that was not the whole deal about being friend with benefit in the first place. it was just either being friends with benefit or just being friends.
how sad. </3
i love this song so much. i love this website too i need to use it more..
This is my favorite song on the album. It is something I can completely connect to.
I get these Camera Obscura feelings when listening to this song. I love the epic... sad voice, almost crying, shattered and fragile voice.
'You take all my money you take all my weed'
Sounds like my brother. Sigh...
The meaning is fairly self-explanatory. The singer is in love with her FWB, but she knows that he doesn't want to go further because it's not their "deal", or the way their relationship works. They'v established a pattern as FWB and he doesn't want more.
This song reminds me of my ex boyfriend....
her voice i love it
