Out on the land in the wind of a hurricane
Down at the bar like a star in the howlin' rain

Nobody to love you
Nobody to care
If you got
Nobody to hug you
No one to answer your prayer

You get low (low)
Like a valley
High (high)
Like a bird in the sky
You get low (low)
'Cause you're angry
Low
High
High
Low

One at a time
Get in line for the masquerade
Drink 'til you cry
And you're lying in the mess you made

Nobody to love you
Nobody to care
Nobody to drug you
No one to hold back your hair

You get low (low)
Like a valley
High (high)
Like a bird in the sky
You get low (low)
'Cause you're angry
Low
High
High
Low

You get low (low)
Like a valley
High (high)
Like a bird in the sky
You get low (low)
'Cause you're angry
Low
High
High
Low

Low
High
High
Low
Low
High
High
Low

    This is such a great song. Definitely describing bipolar. Someone who is constantly wrecking their life.

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.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.
