Waiting For You

Counterweight

You left me there alone
When you hung up the phone
You made me feel so blind
But my eyes opened this time
All happened that night
With feelings I just can't fight
Killed me through and through
And I know it killed you too

Don't know what I'll do
Don't know how I'll be
Something that I had
Has been taken out of me
Don't know what I'll do
Don't know how I'll be
Something that I had
Has been taken out of me

No
Can't wait for you
Won't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Shouldn't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Won't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Shouldn't wait for you

Now I'm standing near
For that call that won't be here
You've done this all before
Still I come back for more
Knowing what you've done
My senses have gone numb
This time you'll see
What you really meant to me, yeah

Don't know what I'll do
Don't know how I'll be
Something that I had
Has been taken out of me
Don't know what I'll do
Don't know how I'll be
Something that I had
Has been taken out of me

No
Can't wait for you
Won't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Shouldn't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Won't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Shouldn't wait for you

Now I'm standing near
For that call that won't be here
You've done this all before
Still I come back for more
Knowing what you've done
My senses have gone numb
This time you'll see
What you really meant to me, yeah

Really meant to me, yeah...
Really meant to me, yeah...
Really meant to me, yeah...

No
Can't wait for you
Won't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Shouldn't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Won't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Shouldn't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Won't wait for you
Can't wait for you
Shouldn't wait for you

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.

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
