Te souviens-tu du pays des oiseaux?
Tu sais, celui où il fait toujours beau
On dit qu'il n'existe plus
On dit qu'il a disparu

Et dans mes songes, je gravis des montagnes
À l'horizon, les rivières s'éloignent
Ils ont tué les oiseaux
Plus rien ne bouge, il fait chaud

Les orages ont balayé la plage
Il ne reste plus qu'un pays sauvage, sauvage

Les yeux perdus au fond des marécages
J'ai retrouvé le reflet d'un visage
Il avait quelque chose de toi
Mais il est mort, il est froid
Du bout des doigts, je caresse la vase
Dieu, qu'il était émouvant, ce mirage
J'ai entendu le cri du vent
Et j'ai pleuré doucement

Les orages ont balayé la plage
Il ne reste plus qu'un pays sauvage, sauvage

Tout s'écroule, je suis la pierre qui roule
Et le château de sable qui périt sous la vague
Tout se casse, dis-moi ce qu'il se passe
Je le trouvais si beau notre pays, là-haut

Te souviens-tu du pays des oiseaux?
Tu sais, celui où il fait toujours beau
On dit qu'il n'existe plus
On dit qu'il a disparu

Je n'irai plus au bois quand je m'endors
Il est fini le temps des rivières d'or
Où tu disais, mon trésor
Il faudra vivre sans toi

Les orages ont balayé la plage
Il ne reste plus qu'un pays sauvage, sauvage

Oh, les orages ont balayé la plage
Il ne reste plus qu'un pays sauvage, sauvage

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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
