Je suis une fille bien ordinaire
Des fois, j'ai plus l'goût de rien faire
J'f'rai d'la musique, autour d'un verre
Avec ma mère, mes sœurs, mes frères
Mais faut que j'pense à ma carrière
Je suis une chanteuse populaire

Vous m'voyez comme une déesse
Je suis une femme, pas une princesse
Si j'peux vous faire un aveu
C'est quand je chante, que j'me sens mieux
Mais ce métier-là, c'est dangereux
Plus on en donne plus l'monde en veut

Un jour, quand je serai trop lasse
Je songerai à céder ma place
J'f'rai mes adieux avec classe
J'espère vous laisser une trace
Et clamer la vie dans vos cœurs
Que de l'amour, que du bonheur

J'aime mon prochain, j'aime mon public
Tout c'que je veux, c'est que ça clique
J'me fous pas mal de la critique
Quand je chante, c'est pour le public
J'suis pas un animal de cirque
Ma vie à moi, c'est la musique

Si je chante, c'est pour qu'on m'entende
Quand je crie, c'est pour me défendre
J'aimerais bien me faire comprendre
Je voudrais faire le tour de la terre
Avant d'mourir, et qu'on m'enterre
Voir de quoi l'reste du monde a l'air

Autour de moi il y a la guerre
Le peur, la faim et la misère
J'voudrais qu'on soit tous des frères
C'est pour ça qu'on est sur la terre
J'suis pas qu'une chanteuse populaire
Je suis rien qu'une femme bien ordinaire

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.
