It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high
And you open up your heart and soul
But that's not enough for most.

I remember this much
There is nothing
You shouldn't speak of
If you got something to say
And there is no one
To be scared of
Just get them out of the way

Going out in a blaze of glory
My heart is open wide
You can take anything that you want from me
There is nothing left to hide

Going out in a blaze of glory
My hands are held up high
I'm learning how to hit back
I'm learning how to fight

The law of the jungle says
You look after yourself
But I remember this much
I love as I've been loved myself.

Don't forget what I told you now
When the question keeps on coming
And it's "how much more can you take"
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
"shouldn't you be gone by now"

But you keep on
Going out in a blaze of glory
Setting your sights for the sky.
They can offer you anything at all
But your dreams must not be sold.
Going out in a blaze of glory
No price is high enough
I'm fighting back with feeling
I'm fighting back with love

When the nails are biting into your hands
And the cross is heavy on your heart
Now is the time to really make a stand
My hands are held up high.

(Going out)
In a blaze of glory
(Going out)
In a blaze of glory
(Going out)
In a blaze of glory

Going out in a blaze of glory
My heart is open wide
You can take anything that you want from me
But you cannot take my soul

Going out in a blaze of glory
My hands are held up high
I'm learning how to hit back
Yes I'm learning how to fight

Going out in a blaze of glory
Going out with my heart wide open
Going out with my hands held high

Going out in a blaze of glory
Going out in a blaze of glory

Fighting back with love
Fighting back with love!
No price is high enough
To take my soul, to take my soul
To take my soul

It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high

(Keep on going with my hands held high)
(Keep on going with my hands held high)

    It's funny how they shoot you down When your hands are held up high And you open up your heart and soul But that's not enough for most. LIFE IS TOUGH/UNJUST

    I remember this much There is nothing You shouldn't speak of If you got something to say And there is no one To be scared of Just get them out of the way DON'T GIVE UP

    Going out in a blaze of glory My heart is open wide You can take anything that you want from me there is nothing left to hide SUBMIT TO GOD

    Going out in a blaze of glory my hands are held up high I'm learning how to hit back I'm learning how to fight I'M LEARNING HOW TO OVERCOME THE DEVIL

    The law of the jungle says You look after yourself But I remember this much I love as I've been loved myself. IT'S NOT ABOUT LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE; IT'S ABOUT LOVE

    Don't forget what I told you now When the question keeps on coming And it's "How much more can you take" When they've ripped your clothes to pieces "Shouldn't you be gone by now" THE ROMANS GAMBLING OVER JESUS' CLOTHES

    But you keep on Going out in a blaze of glory Setting your sights for the sky. GOD

    They can offer you anything at all But your dreams must not be sold. THE DEVIL OFFERED CHRIST EVERY WORLDY THING BUT HE DIDN'T BUY IT

    Going out in a blaze of glory No price is high enough I'm fighting back with feeling I'm fighting back with love

    When the nails are biting into your hands And the cross is heavy on your heart Now is the time to really make a stand My hands are held up high THE CRUCIFIXION

    Fighting back with love Fighting back with love! No price is high enough To take my soul, to take my soul To take my soul JESUS SACRIFICED EVERYTHING HE HAD TO TAKE MY SOUL

Standing On The Edge Of Summer

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.

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”
