Lyrics of the Week - What are yours?

[EEEEEEP]

I know where you been, where you are, where you goin'
I know you're the reason I believe in life
What's the day without a little night?
I'm just tryna shed a little light
It can be hard
It can be so hard
But you gotta live right now
You got everything to give right now

Logic - 1-800-273-8255 ft. Alessia Cara, Khalid

1-800-273-8255 is the number of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

I love love love this song, because it reflects how people in strife feel (when they're in a bit of trouble). These set of lyrics also sort of emphasis how there's ups and downs in life ^^

Now or whenever. Always remembered how bad situations may be. Self harm or any of that is never the answer.

Beautiful song with a powerful message.

Tracy Chapman -- Fast Car

You've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We've gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

One of my favourite songs. I believe it's saying that if you don't take a chance in life to escape poverty, you'll remain that way forever.

But i will stand behind and be someone to fall back on

Someone to fall back on (Track from the movie Bandslam)
Pretty sure I've used this song before but late last week, one of my closest friends told me that they were having a hard time. This particular line sort of reminds me of how I said that I'd happily be that shoulder to cry on and that I'll always offer continuous support.

Left Out - Gnash

I been left out, lied to, talked about and used
Stared down and laughed at, while walking out of school
You wanna put the blame on me the feeling's nothing new
You wanna hang more pain on me there's nothing you can do

[Joseph41]

"So is it better to tell and hurt, or lie to save their face?
Well I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place."

Always makes me think (not necessary a good thing).

[sweetiepi]

Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down

Take a Chance on Me- ABBA

haven't posted for a while

I kick the gutter in tight shorts, basketball courts
Watch me, watch him talk to girls
I'm known as a right-hand slugger
Anybody else wanna touch my lover?

Pearl Jam -- Black

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?

[Joseph41]

Kim's Caravan - Courtney Barnett

We all think that we are nobody,
But everybody is somebody else's
Somebody.

Pretty powerful, I think.

Love love love Barnett! I saw her perform once at Taronga Zoo. She was brilliant!

She's really great! I've only recently discovered her, but have been absolutely smashing Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit on loop recently.

Any recommendations?

Chin up kid - Forever the Sickest Kids

Life goes on, the ending's the starting line
Chin up, press on, you will survive

[Calebark]

I did post Pearl Jam last time, but since this is Vedder as a solo artist, I don't count it as doubling-up which is something I try to avoid in this thread haha

Eddie Vedder -- Society

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy, indeed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree

Society, indeed.
