Confidence and ignorance approved me
Define my day today
I've tried so hard to shut it down like an oath
Gently walk away

Appetite and impulses confused me
Decide my day, today
Now my body says it's over
Shaking hands move to tear my face away

And when the night comes I'm fiending like a pyro
And I know stables my survival
When there's music all around me and I haven't got a single word to say

And then the light shines
Is cleaning like a bottle
And lord knows I tackle it full throttle
May I illuminate the nameless faceless saints of this out and open grace

Every lover on a mission shifted your known position due to the light
Every diamond elemental you are instrumental due to the light
Every sonic every illusion make your contribution due to the light
Every lover on a mission shifted your known position due to the light

Oh body mine please leave behind
And I'll do you long better
While you define
Your heartless time
I'll defend my love forever

Every lover on a mission shifted your known position due to the light
Every diamond elemental you are instrumental due to the light
Every sonic every illusion make your contribution due to the light
Every glory and every bond is gonna bring you faster on due to the light

    Confidence and ignorance approve me Define my day today I've tried so hard to shut it down lock it up Gently walk away

    Appetites and impulses confuse me Decide my day today Now my body says it's over Shaking hands move to tear my face away

    And when the night comes I'm feeling like a pyro And I know it stables my survival When there's music all around me and I haven't got a single word to say

    And then the light shines It's gleaming like a bottle And lord knows I'll tackle it full throttle May I illuminate the nameless faceless saints of these out and open graves

    Every lover on a mission shift your known position into the light Every diamond elemental you are instrumental to the light Every sonic evolution make your contribution to the light Every glorious disaster everyone is gonna bring it faster out intothe light

    Oh body mind leaves me behind And I'll do you one better While you define Your heartless time I'll defend my love forever

    Every lover on a mission shift your known position into the light Every diamond elemental you are instrumental to the light Every sonic evolution make your contribution to the light Every glorious disaster everyone is gonna bring it faster out into the light The light

    He says "fiending like a pyro," A few of Tunde's songs are heroin related, a lot of this song is: "Shaking hands move to tear my face away," <---yeah... that happens when you're fiending like a pyro. It's not like some big secret either, in the song Tonight he says "the needle, the rusty spoon, the flames and the fumes, throw 'em out tonight" P.S. It's probably a good thing that you didn't get that. Listen to Tunde DON'T DO HEROIN.

    Nice one truz! Made some modifications to yours, but still not sure about quite a few parts.

    My Opinion

    Thank you guys, I'm still unsure about the chorus but I think it's mostly complete now. Cheers.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head &gt; 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.
