„Os homens sábios eram todos tolos. O que fazer?“
Trecho da música "Last to Die" (2007)
„I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done;
At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun.“
"Nebraska"
Song lyrics, Nebraska (1982)
„Show a little faith, there's magic in the night;
You ain't a beauty but hey you're all right.“
"Thunder Road"
Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)
Contexto: Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what I'm here for.
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore.
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night;
You ain't a beauty but hey you're all right.
Oh and that's all right with me.
„We gotta get out while we're young,
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.“
— Bruce Springsteen, livro Born to Run
"Born to Run"
Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)
Contexto: In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream.
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines.
Sprung from cages on Highway 9,
Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
And steppin' out over the line.
Baby this town rips the bones from your back.
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap.
We gotta get out while we're young,
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.
„I'm stranded in the jungle,
Taking all the heat they was giving.
The night is dark but the sidewalk's bright
And lined with the light of the living.
From a tenement window a transistor blasts,
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast.
She hit me with a Tenth Avenue freeze-out.
Tenth Avenue freeze-out.“
"Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out"
Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)
„Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy.
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
And can't stand the company.
Every fool's got a reason to feelin' sorry for himself
And turn his heart to stone.
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell,
And I feel like I'm comin' home.“
"Better Days"
Song lyrics, Lucky Town (1992)
„Well, no cannon ball did fly, no rifles cut us down.
No bombs fell from the sky, no blood soaked the ground.
No powder flash blinded the eye.
No deathly thunder sounded.
But just as sure as the hand of God,
They brought death to my hometown.
They brought death to my hometown.“
"Death to My Hometown"
Song lyrics, Wrecking Ball (2012)
„Can't see nothin' in front of me;
Can't see nothin' coming up behind.
I make my way through this darkness;
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me.
Lost track of how far I've gone,
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed.
On my back's a sixty pound stone,
On my shoulder a half mile line.“
"The Rising"
Song lyrics, The Rising (2002)
„Everybody's got a hunger, a hunger they can't resist;
There's so much that you want, you deserve much more than this.
But if dreams came true, oh, wouldn't that be nice?
But this ain't no dream we're living through tonight.
Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price.“
"Prove It All Night"
Song lyrics, Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978)
„We all come up a little short and we go down hard.
These days I spend my time skipping through the dark.
Through the empires of dust, I chant your name.
I am the hunter of invisible game.“
"Hunter of Invisible Game"
Song lyrics, High Hopes (2014)
