its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Here we go
Damn
Here we go again
Loving you has caused me so much pain
But you don't see it, you never see it
So why apologize
I was just doing what I had to do baby
An eye for an eye
God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe
God knows I never meant to turn you out, turn you out
Never meant to take it that far, that far babe
God knows I never meant to hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you
Baby, guilty as charged
I'm not gon lie babe
I did you wrong so many times yes
So I know why you crossed the line
Oh but girl I never dreamed you'd cheat on me
But I, I apologize (don't apologize, don't apologize)
Oh baby, the pain I put you through (put you through it too)
What I did to you (I did the same to you)
Oh I made you cry
God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe
God knows I never meant to turn you out, turn you out
Never meant to take it that far, that far babe
God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe
God knows I never meant to turn you out, turn you out
Never meant to take it that far, that far babe
God knows I never meant to hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you
Can we start over again
Can we start baby best friends
Give you one more try
The tender kisses you give to me
Would be the only thing I'd ever need
God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe
Damn
Here we go again
Loving you has caused me so much pain
But you don't see it, you never see it
So why apologize
I was just doing what I had to do baby
An eye for an eye
God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe
God knows I never meant to turn you out, turn you out
Never meant to take it that far, that far babe
God knows I never meant to hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you
Baby, guilty as charged
I'm not gon lie babe
I did you wrong so many times yes
So I know why you crossed the line
Oh but girl I never dreamed you'd cheat on me
But I, I apologize (don't apologize, don't apologize)
Oh baby, the pain I put you through (put you through it too)
What I did to you (I did the same to you)
Oh I made you cry
God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe
God knows I never meant to turn you out, turn you out
Never meant to take it that far, that far babe
God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe
God knows I never meant to turn you out, turn you out
Never meant to take it that far, that far babe
God knows I never meant to hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you
Can we start over again
Can we start baby best friends
Give you one more try
The tender kisses you give to me
Would be the only thing I'd ever need
God knows I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe

He certainly did earn that reputation.
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.
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.
