Good Fucking Bye

Matt Skiba

So you broke down trying to leave town
I broke down crying on your return
You left me feeling hopeful
I'd never see your face again

You made for a bad lovers liver
You stole all the covers and busted my head
You made me such an asshole
I wish we never met

I'm tired of being bored
I'm through with the headaches
And hiding my hands that tremble like earthquakes
Under the table and under the daytime sky
Good fucking bye

When you lose hope it's hard to cope
Watching the tyranny with sober eyes
At daybreak and sunset
All hours inbetween are spent murdering time

You made for a bad lovers liver
You stole all the covers and fucked up my head
You made me such an asshole
I wish we never met

I'm tired of being bored
I'm through with the headaches
And hiding my hands that tremble like earthquakes
Under the table and under the daytime sky
Good fucking bye

    Yeah, he has a split out with Kevin Seconds. I am not sure when it comes out in stores, but I already have it. Woo me.

Light Up The Sky
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 is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Little Feat
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”

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
