Questa strada è la mia casa che non ho
Il soffitto è un grande cielo splendido
Se potessi volerei da un angelo
Per giocare insieme a lui sopra la luna

Questa strada di baracche sbattute là
Dove abita la nostra povertà
È la scuola dei bambini come me
Che hanno per maestre fame e lacrime
Uh-uh, uh-uh

Vivere sembra impossibile qui
Come accendere nel mare un falò
È un mondo senza regole, è un brutto film
Che un giorno scorderò

Questa strada di tristezza e polvere
Senza mamme di carezze e favole
Ma è da qui che vedo il Dio della città
Ed è Lui che mi darà la libertà

Vivere è un gioco a perdere qui
È scappare la prigione dei no
È respirare colla per essere
Ladri di attimi e credere
Che ci riesci a vivere
Dentro me cercherò quella fede che non ho
Dall'amore anch'io così rinascerò

(Vivere com'è difficile qui)
(Quando gridi al cielo), "Kyrie eleison"
Ma se vincere un miracolo non si può
So che io non mi arrenderò
Di volermi libero

Vivere (forse è possibile qui)
Ce l'avrai pietà di noi, Kyrie eleison
Signore, la mia strada io troverò
Con te camminerò
Uh, uh, uh
Per vivere
Uh-uh, uh, oh-oh, oh
Per vivere

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
