I follow the sundown,
until it hits me.
Never bring it back now.
Forever want you to see.

No, we've been crucified.
Just to cover a lie.
Different friend I'm alive.
No, you will sit there and try,
to pretend it's alright.
When they fuck with your life, yeah.

Watch your back don't do the things that you won't wanna see.
You're wacked yourself cause you're living out your pocket, dream.
Not your face as you wanna take away again.
Get your back. Living out your pocket dream.

Catch yourself as you look again.
The offers slipping in the fast lane.
Hit yourself as you hit the wall.
It's that time to fall.

Hit your back and you'll be what you wanna see.
You're wacked yourself cause you're living out your pocket, dream.
Hit your back cause you wanna take away again.
Hit yourself, living out your pocket dream.

What's up now you fucking hoe?
I am a wanna-be.

Let your sleep and the dreams that are never good,
do watch yourself but i wanna make someone a part.
Off the box as you wanna take away again.
Watch yourself, getting off your pocket dream.

Hit yourself as you lose control.
You were sitting in the fast lane.
Hit your back as you hit the wall.
Now it's that time to fall.

Not yourself cause you'll be what you wanna see.
You are the one who's been living out this pocket dream.
Hit yourself as you wanna take away again.
Watch your back, living out your pocket dream.

I
Yeah I fight, and i'm blacked again.
I
Nothings what it seems.

The way you work, the way i listen, you are present.
And I'm mellow when i'm fine,
never meant i never been to all.
You wouldn't want your soul.
You only wanna know the things that i say
And you're the one in front of me.

Now, do hit me, i lie.
Now, you hit me, i lie.
Oh yeah
Yeah,
I,
Yeah,
I.

I don't hear or know what you say.
All through the year and now i melt down.
I watched it all as it rinsed away.
I love the things that i've called you.
I fake it all and now i wash again.
I have the pains again in side me.
I paint it all as i strip away
all of the things that are riling.

And I forgive you for all the lies.
Enter my face and see through me.
And all the pain that i tucked away.
The things that i thought defy me.
And I will fear as I will see,
and i will fear with you once again.
I thank myself and live forever, and ever.

No, thought your gonna bite right through another friend.
Are the one who's been living with some (redneck).
I'm suprised that you wanna take away again.
Hit your back, living out your pocket, dream.

No, we've been through so fine.
Just to cover a lie.
Different friend i'm alive.
Yeah.

    daw26, thats easily one of the most un-intellegent things i have ever heard in my life. she didnt say anything bad or wrong, she said that the band said they dont want these lyrics released...so that makes her like brittany spears? you sound like a REALLY smart guy.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
