Anti-Hero

Green Street Annihilation

I go to sleep
Shotgun in my mouth
Hit the trigger
And somebody's out
Fucked in the head
People don't care
Could see less
But my feelings do tear
Economies sheep
And im on medication
Just another faggot
Looking for some inspiration
You say welcome home
No ones here to stay
You hold me back
Expect me to obey

I'm your anti-hero
Your average zero
Everything you're not
And I cant be bought
Anti-trusting
Anti-fate
Anti-loving
And I just might hate
I'm your anti-hero
Your average zero
Everything you're not
And I cant be bought
Anti-trusting
Anti-fate
Anti-loving
And I just might hate

You always say
Some go a little off track
But I must say
I wont be back
I drove off the cliff
And burned in a wreck
Ravaged and tremulous
Just got in check
Pentagram comes up
Hits me right in the face
All the fucking thoughts
Just come and erase
This isn't about
Our disputes and beliefs
This is all about when
Someone has to leave

I'm your anti-hero
Your average zero
Everything you're not
And I cant be bought
Anti-trusting
Anti-fate
Anti-loving
And I just might hate
I'm your anti-hero
Your average zero
Everything you're not
And I cant be bought
Anti-trusting
Anti-fate
Anti-loving
And I just might hate

I'm fucking sick of these games
Lets play dead
You be the victim
And I shoot you in the head
I know what you do
You are fucking pathetic
This can come again
But I swear I'm not gonna let it

I'm your anti-hero
Your average zero
Everything you're not
And I cant be bought
Anti-trusting
Anti-fate
Anti-loving
And I just might hate
I'm your anti-hero
Your average zero
Everything you're not
And I cant be bought
Anti-trusting
Anti-fate
Anti-loving
And I just might hate

Anti-statement
Anti-who
Anti-me
Anti-you
Anti-statement
Anti-who
Anti-me
Anti-you

I'm your anti-hero
Your average zero
Everything you're not
And I cant be bought
Anti-trusting
Anti-fate
Anti-loving
And I just might hate
I'm your anti-hero
Your average zero
Everything you're not
And I cant be bought
Anti-trusting
Anti-fate
Anti-loving
And I just might hate

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
