21:13

Coheed and Cambria

In our sleep, there's more to this nightmare
Will she beg for your mercy?
Slowly but sure, I'm hoping what comes in the absense of love
At night, she'll kick and she'll fight, should they fill in his sight
At night, I'll worry from all, the end of us all

Please mom, they're coming for me
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for me

The clock reads 21:13
All work will stop
And the ground will relieve

Please mom, they're coming for me
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for

When I fall asleep
Your face is all I see
Dear momma I love
I fall asleep
Your face is all I dream
Dear momma I love

Oh, in your frame you'll be this well
In the face you miss the most
You'll see them soon
Stop, I bid you fair warning
Stay up until you
When the memories occur
Of a life you haven't lived
Stay still, you will
I've got a secret to hide
And I've got a secret to hide

In the words
Of father to son
Thy Kingdom Come

Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa

Please mom, they're coming for me
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for

When I fall asleep
Your face is all I see
Dear momma I love
I fall asleep
Your face is all I dream
Dear momma I love

Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
When I fall asleep
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
When I fall asleep

Those days we lost our dignity
The eager dare to stand
The ride home through victory
All the innocent they tried

But I, robot, will never die
I, robot, will never die
But I, robot, will never die
But I, robot, will never die

    I, robot is a little extra song a couple minutes after the end of time consumer on secnod stage turbine blade. They probably just added that part because it was part of time consumer.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
