I've got a confession
I've got a secret
On the tip of my tongue and it's bleeding out
You know I've got my reasons
This suffocating feeling
And the voice in my head is bleeding out

And I don't think that I'll ever really change
This is not how I'm made

'Cause I think I've lost half my mind
Fighting my addiction
I've been killing, wasting time, I'm not alright
And I can do it if I want to
I can do it if I want to
I don't care if it hurts me
I care if I hurt you

Blinded by these white lines
Feeling like I'm divine
Never reaching cloud nine
And I feel like giving up
Enough's never enough
I divorced all my love
Why won't you give up?
Why won't you give up?
'Cause I don't think that I'll ever really change
This is not how I'm made

'Cause I think I've lost half my mind
Fighting my addiction
I've been killing, wasting time, I'm not alright
And I can do it if I want to
I can do it if I want to
I don't care if it hurts me
I care if I hurt you

I need help
I've gotten myself lost again
I can't do it on my own
I don't know what to do
Please don't go
Just help me
I can't do this on my own

Stay, stay with me
Stay, stay with me

I think I've lost half my mind
Fighting my addictions
I've been chasing the white light
I'm not, I'm not alright
And I can do it if I want to
You know I'll do it if I want to
'Cause I don't care if it hurts me
I care if I hurt you
With my white lines
And my white lies
My white lines
My white lies

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.

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.

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.
