In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Is it mother's love that feels in genitals?
or the sexual desire?

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.

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”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Oh my god....is this INCESTUOUS? I'd comment on the first part but it's in japanese. But I always LOVED the way this song sounded..but omg..if it's incestuous I deeply regret it. I hope you put that english part up wrong.
@SseptemberCor - Actually, it's correct.
...woah..Incest...0_o what does the bit in japanese say then 0_0? 0_o

I've been looking for an English translation for it, but I can't find it ): And yeah, it's a pretty weird song, but I still love it.
I'm looking for a translation for this too, but I can hear "kaasan" (mother) from Ruki and "kimochi"(good feeling) from the mother in the speaking part around 2:20.
someone has put up the english lyrics shivers @____@;;

I don't know anything yet, my fifteenth black cherry It's not a fluke that your silhouette wets my fruit.

Is it mother's love that feels in genitals? Or the sexual desire? (I don't know the method of the tie to you excluding this act)
Unresisting, I will someday be drenched in you, black cherry What I want isn't love, it's the desire that sleeps beside me and my mother.

Sugar pain... please sweet sugar pain, mother Over and over, touch this body you gave me with the tip of your tongue
Sugar pain... please sweet sugar pain, mother More than just loving you, I want to feel you in a way that shreds my reason.
Ruki just increased the amount of respect I have for him <3 I love the song, I always have and I still do <3
