Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I heard some kids telling me
How they've lost all the faith in the way
They've been talking world peace
And the wars in the streets
The lines on their faces so deep
A revolution or reach out and touch the day
We're overdue child
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Oh no
I feel the the future in the hands
Of our youth will be safe
No more lies
Old, tired fools tell our future
With tarot cards, and lie of crime
The lines on their faces so deep
A revolution or reach out and touch the day
We're overdue child
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
I'll change
I'll change
Not tomorrow but today
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
How they've lost all the faith in the way
They've been talking world peace
And the wars in the streets
The lines on their faces so deep
A revolution or reach out and touch the day
We're overdue child
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Oh no
I feel the the future in the hands
Of our youth will be safe
No more lies
Old, tired fools tell our future
With tarot cards, and lie of crime
The lines on their faces so deep
A revolution or reach out and touch the day
We're overdue child
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
I'll change
I'll change
Not tomorrow but today
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change
Change
Now it's time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now it's time for change

Battle Royale
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.
Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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.
This song has been the soundtrack to my life when ever I go through a break-up. Its telling me that life will go on, no matter what has happened. I really didn't care for the song until the summer of 2009 when I saw the Crue at Cruefest 2, and they were playing the entire Dr.Feelgood album...it really is an overlooked song...it just gets pushed to the side by the more well known songs off Dr.Feelgood. I think Nikki, and the band are lyrically pretty deep, and actually write songs from the point of view of someone that has been to hell, and back...obviously, its very true about Nikki considering that he OD'd on several different occasions before the band recorded Dr. Feelgood, and they were all clean, and sober...just a great ballad
