Walking Away

Limp Bizkit

Down in a hole there are so many ways
To find yourself some light
It's always the miracles
Keep waiting all you like
Ain't got no time to waste
I know the end is near
And if I run away
I'll always end up here

Walking away
From the things I adore
Telling the truth
For once I'm sure
It's always a sign
When you feel yourself bleed
I'm walking away
From all I need

I can't escape the tragedy
That always brings me down
If I could eliminate
Those things that make me frown
Take all the baggage
That follows me around
And just disintegrate
Burn it to the ground

Walking away
From the things I adore
Telling the truth
For once I'm sure
It's always a sign
When you feel yourself bleed
I'm walking away
From all I need

I'm walking away
Yeah!
Walking away

Yeah, I'm walking away
From the things I adore (walking away)
Telling the truth
For once I'm sure (walking away)
It's always a sign
When you feel yourself bleed (walking away)
I'm walking away
From all I need

I'm walking away

    I know those are the lyrics Fred posted on the site, but there's an extra chorus at the end.

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
