The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
As the pressure grows and these feelings flow
Trample on bodies, bodies in holes of faith
Times I've asked the lord for forgiveness
While kept under a spell of a sweating locust's breath.
No need to tell me 'cause its written on your face
Sliding down now with the black lights shining
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me
Black as the night is day filled with no sympathy
Marching down the hall for a misery
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me
Mouth tastes of sick stomach twisting inside
Everything's wrong and I can't get away
The gravity of fear you can feel it coming near
It's coming straight for you it'll twist and drag you down
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me
Trample on bodies, bodies in holes of faith
Times I've asked the lord for forgiveness
While kept under a spell of a sweating locust's breath.
No need to tell me 'cause its written on your face
Sliding down now with the black lights shining
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me
Black as the night is day filled with no sympathy
Marching down the hall for a misery
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me
Mouth tastes of sick stomach twisting inside
Everything's wrong and I can't get away
The gravity of fear you can feel it coming near
It's coming straight for you it'll twist and drag you down
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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
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 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.
I Have a feeling its about how he cannot chase away his feelings and his past. At least, if you were to interpret that from the music video
i really like this song, can't figure out the meaning yet, but i think it may be something dark of or a girl he likes
i think this song is about a guy walking through a graveyard contemplating how he fucked things up with his lover. but he is absolutely determined to get her back. "I dont care where you go you wont get away from me"
I really loved this song and the video. The final scene was really something special to watch, and the song itself has a deeper meaning, at east for me it does, since I can say I've been "down there". Life goes wrong, you try to escape it, and when the day ends, it somehow looks perfect, through your eyes only. Hope gets us through life and its pressure, I think that's the overall message of the song.
spidjod had it right 4 years ago.
His childhood has come back to haunt him, but only because of what and who he has become since then.
Is the begin of the story of the album. The pressure.. the insanity, has began to grow in the main character and he begins to realize that he is not going to be able to escape
no,people,he
s just drunk or on drugs...and he has all sorts of flashes..and hes talking to himself
