Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Them white niggas you fuck with turn tiki torch real quick
Real quick, real quick, ah!
When you were crying on the phone to me, did you consider us friends?
Saying that his life was in our hands, or were we criminals then?
The way I stack my feelings up, Chani asked me what I prioritize
Why is my answer moments of mistrust archived side by side in my mind? I can't decide
Sink into the floor
Sink into the floor
Sink into the floor
Sink into the floor
We left pieces of ourselves on the side of that road
Now I'm supposed to sift through my feelings toward you and the murderous language you spoke?
If that cop had taken a further step than just putting his hand on his gun
And shot us right there, we might never know whose side you're really on
Nah, sink into the floor
Sink into the floor
Who's your apology even for?
Sink into the floor
Thinking about this nigga Marvin, thinking about this nigga Natik
Thinking about this nigga Malique, he spent 9 months in solitary at 17
Thinking about this nigga Lael, thinking about this nigga Tyquail
Thinking about this nigga Reneé, I fear most for her everyday
I fear most for her everyday, I fear most for her everyday
I'm down to step out and engage
I'm down to step out and engage
I'm down to step out and engage
I'm down to step out and engage
I'm down to step out and engage
Ayo, I live around the way
Ayo, I live around the way
(Ayo, I live around the way, nigga)
Ayo, I live around the way
Ayo, I live around the way, uh
Side up with me
Slip in the side of my eye up with me
Guy up to me
Eye up the pie you tryna slice up off me
But what do we have for you? (Nothing)
Not my priority or my energy
Not while I know children in the penitentiary
I won't treat you mean, I won't say a thing
But please come back up into my house and try me
Please come back up in my mental
Please come back up in my periphery
Niggas not cold as me
And not petty like me
And I'm unsure you really wanna hear from me
Every erasures are your life's poetry
In between the fine print, in invisible ink
Fuck what you feel, fuck what you think
You slept too close to my family
And I've got no time for a fake ass sorry from an opp who still throws stones at a nigga's body
I thought the plan was that a nigga would drop the topic
But if you really want, we can fucking talk about it
You know, my mama kinda wanna beat ya ass for this
You a snake, fuck nigga, you a basilisk
And you at risk of remaining an asterisk
My last gift is my black ass to kiss
Real quick, real quick, ah!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
