As letras de Springsteen formam uma verdadeira prova de vida... São poucos os músicos que, como ele, conseguem retratar o quotidiano do Homem comum, um Homem com aspirações, medos, esperanças, como qualquer um de nós...
Músicas como "Living Proof" - You shot through my anger and rage / To show me my prison was just an open cage / There were no keys no guards / Just one frightened man and some old shadows for bars -; "Lucky Town" - I had some victory that was just failure in deceit / Now the joke's comin' up through the soles of my feet / I been a long time walking on fortune's cane / Tonight I'm steppin' lightly and feelin' no pain -; "Brilliant Desguise" - So when you look at me / you better look hard and look twice / Is that me baby / or just a brilliant disguise -; ou "Blood Brothers" - Now the hardness of this world slowly grinds your dreams away / Makin' a fool's joke out of the promises we make / And what once seemed black and white turns to so many shades of gray / We lose ourselves in work to do and bills to pay - constituem hinos sobre a condição humana...
Músicas como "Born in USA" - Got in a little hometown jam / So they put a rifle in my hand / Sent me off to a foreign land / To go and kill the yellow man - ou "Last to Die" - Who'll be the last to die for a mistake / The last to die for a mistake / Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break / Who'll be the last to die - homenageiam os soldados americanos e falam sobre o erro da decisão de os mandar para uma guerra (ou guerras, o Vietnam e a do Iraque) já com muito pouca razão de ser...
Outros temas falam do passado e das memórias de uma juventude, que fazem parte do seu Eu actual e que se guardam como verdadeiros tesouros... Temas como "Glory Days" - Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture / a little of the glory of, well time slips away / and leaves you with nothing mister but / boring stories of glory days - ou "My Hometown" - I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand / Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man / I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town / He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown - contam-nos a história da sua vida e trazem-nos à memória as nossas próprias experiências....
Um verdadeiro "Boss" da música, o Sr. Springsteen consegue, a cada novo trabalho, dar-nos novas provas de Vida, com uma simplicidade e sinceridade extremas, mas sempre tocantes.....................................
