High life
Hehe, Shabutie
New Jersey bound
When sound asleep
They'll find you at your most vulnerable
Poll position, speak up, let out
When down the street the corner boys fuck shit up
Scream loud
Scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home?
Scream loud
Scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine, will you fuck me back home?
Let's fire it up, ha-ha, now
Let's fire it up, ha-ha, now
Sayonara
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor
Bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon
And I'll pray for you high health
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor
Bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon
Speak up, let out
Caught in the crossfire
Compared to the step to the bone that might break
It's too late to find a better way out of this
With the finest regards that I lost in the cracks of this street
Scream loud (wide open)
Scream sayonara (now you're dead and gone)
Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home?
Scream loud
Scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine, will you fuck me back home?
Let's fire it up, ha-ha, now
Let's fire it up, ha-ha, now
Sayonara
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor
Bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon
And I'll pray for you high health
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor
Bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon
(Don't let them scare you)
(Take me home)
When you run, they'll follow you
(Take me home)
When you run, they'll follow you
(Take me home)
When you run, they'll follow you
(Take me home)

Word Alive, The
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”
i agree that this is damn good place for people to agree/disagree about music, because that is what we love (at least some of us).. so yes debating about what genre this band is part of is relavant.. im not here to tell those who are just learning about this scene of music to go the fuck away, like others.. however, you fucks who have no regard for how personal music is to a great deal of us and are only interested in exposing it, fuck off. i dont think co&ca would make it too big, because they arent extermely catchy or mainstream material, thank god. and 'hopesfall' yes some people do care..but moving on, co&ca is fucking amazing. they are very melodic but still retain a very original sound i believe due to his strange, but magnificent, vocal range.
