Firestruck

Young Galaxy

I'm fire struck
I've left all we had alone
And I owe you more
The wound I gave is the price I've paid
I can't help but ignite a love
A love, a love

I'm fire struck
I'd do all I can do to warm
Until you come back home
And you'll find me
Dishonor me
But I'm drawn to the heart of your fire
A fire, a fire

A life overthrown
By heat and light
You've left for so long
Feels warm to right

I'll make it simple
Blame on me
Blame it on my burnin' heart

I'll make it simple
Blame on me
Blame it on my burnin' heart

I'll make it simple
Blame it on me
Blame it on my burnin' heart

Blame it on my burnin' heart
Blame it on my burnin' heart
Blame it on my burnin' heart

I'll make it simple
Blame it on me
Blame it on my burnin' heart

    My Interpretation

    thanks for the lyrics correction! i buy mp3s not CDs so i had to decipher the lyrics by ear, definitely appreciate the help.

    based on introspective analysis of many of young galaxy's similarly powerful songs, i can't help but think that they're once again painting in broad strokes with this offering. when i meditate and reflect on these lyrics, i can't help but feel that it's hinting toward the flames of spiritual rebirth. when you've been off the path for a long time, but something sparks inside you, and before you know it the burning, powerful flames take over once again, connecting your soul to your body once again.

    to me, artistic metaphors involving flame/fire are analogous to passion. we see this in love songs, but it's amazing when this feeling is captured as perfectly as it is here in regards to passion of the spirit. with my own experiences involving drug addiction, when i finally cleaned myself up and felt the first tickle of spiritual arousal after such a long period of soul hibernation, i became so invigorated and, well, PASSIONATE about my rediscovered faith (more zen than monotheism, to clarify. not hating on any belief system, just relaying my own).

    and so, "blame it on my burnin' heart." i can't help it, the flames have been sparked, the embers are glowing, and i feel like i've come home again.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
