Have you been headwired?
Were you satisfied?
Did it free the feelings in your spine?
Sleeping way inside all this time
Will your meet your mind
Where the night collides?
Will you greet yourself when the sun arrives?
I'll just stay behind, I've met mine

Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires
Headwires now

Help you feed the wires
When your head unwinds?
And if our headlines become entwined
You can have all mine, I'll be fine
There's a reason why
Keeping me alive
There's a cure in me that I wish were mine
As long as I can fight, I'll survive

Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires
Headwires

Stationed on the wire (headwires)
One day I'll let go (headwires)
Tell them all, "Hello" (headwires)
Tell them all, "Hello" (headwires)
Stationed on the wire (headwires)
One day I'll let go (headwires)
Tell them all, "Hello" (headwires)
Tell them all, "Hello" (headwires)
Headwire

Hello

The sun is on Arlandria
Sun is on Arlandria
Headwire
Headwire
The sun is on Arlandria
Sun is on Arlandria
Headwire
Headwire
The sun is on Arlandria
Sun is on Arlandria
Headwire
Headwire

    I think its about getting caught in someone's mind games, and caring about what they think about you; at least...that's what the song means to me.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
