Words of war, they don't mean shit
If the war's for nothing.

I'll wait for now, so show me how
This all works,
'cause all these things just seem empty
And that's what hurts.

Chuck's chorus:
So I can't help but to question
What was real or what was concealed.
Did you need to abandon
And change face?

Jason's chorus:
If you started today would you miss it?
'cause we've been blind.
I don't want to believe
That the truth is lost so easily.

Was it a mistake taken the wrong way?
Through our worst days.
Or did loyalty not mean a goddamn thing
In the ending?

Chuck's chorus:
So I can't help but to question
What was real or what was concealed.
Though trial and error
Did take place, did you need to change face?
And abandon what was/is real
Or what we felt. Pulled heavy weight.
What grounded us, what astounded me.
Was it all for nothing?

Jason's chorus:
If you started today would you miss it?
'cause we've been blind.
And I don't want to believe
That the truth is lost so easily.
If you started today would you miss it?
'cause we've been blind.
And I don't want to believe
That the truth is lost so easily.

    Why has nobody commented on this song? It's incredible. This song gets me so worked up. It's good to play, too. The dual vocals on this make me shiver a little..

    It's not Jason, it's Chris.

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
