High life
I don't know nothing,
I don't know a thing
But if I just keep on listening,
Together we'll sing
I've been walking for about a thousand years
And my feet are tired of crying
All those painful tears
And my sight is going blind
And my soul is way down low
But I haven't seen a thing,
So that's all i can know
I said cause I don't know nothing,
I don't know a thing
But if I just keep on listening,
Together we'll sing
I've been drinking to drown away my tears
And I'm sick of all the violence
And I'm sick of all the fears
But I'm moving down the road,
True I'm moving kind of slow
But I haven't heard a thing,
So that's all I can know
Said cause I don't know nothing,
Y'all don't know a thing
But if we just keep on listening,
Together we'll sing
I don't think that it's going that good today
I can't take my eyes off of the rain
And everybody's running away
Well I don't think
That it's going that good today
Can't take my eyes off of the rain
And everybody's running away
I ran away to the top of the world today
I've been crying and losing lots of sleep
Cause the roads are getting longer
Winter snows come kinda deep
But I still will move along
And I still can feel the sun
And I see or hear a thing
And I'll break into a run
Said cause I don't know nothing,
Y'all don't know a thing
But if we just keep on listening,
Together we'll sing
I don't think that it's going that good today
I can't take my eyes off of the rain
And everybody's going insane
Well I don't think that
It's going that good today
I can't take my eyes off of the rain
Everybody's running away
I ran away to the top of the world today
I ran away to the top of the world today
Ran away top of the world today
I don't know a thing
But if I just keep on listening,
Together we'll sing
I've been walking for about a thousand years
And my feet are tired of crying
All those painful tears
And my sight is going blind
And my soul is way down low
But I haven't seen a thing,
So that's all i can know
I said cause I don't know nothing,
I don't know a thing
But if I just keep on listening,
Together we'll sing
I've been drinking to drown away my tears
And I'm sick of all the violence
And I'm sick of all the fears
But I'm moving down the road,
True I'm moving kind of slow
But I haven't heard a thing,
So that's all I can know
Said cause I don't know nothing,
Y'all don't know a thing
But if we just keep on listening,
Together we'll sing
I don't think that it's going that good today
I can't take my eyes off of the rain
And everybody's running away
Well I don't think
That it's going that good today
Can't take my eyes off of the rain
And everybody's running away
I ran away to the top of the world today
I've been crying and losing lots of sleep
Cause the roads are getting longer
Winter snows come kinda deep
But I still will move along
And I still can feel the sun
And I see or hear a thing
And I'll break into a run
Said cause I don't know nothing,
Y'all don't know a thing
But if we just keep on listening,
Together we'll sing
I don't think that it's going that good today
I can't take my eyes off of the rain
And everybody's going insane
Well I don't think that
It's going that good today
I can't take my eyes off of the rain
Everybody's running away
I ran away to the top of the world today
I ran away to the top of the world today
Ran away top of the world today

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.

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”

@[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.
i really like this song and i think that it's about how sometimes you just get so caught up in the mess around you... all you can do is watch it all unfold...
