Oh I see, sunny days
Oh I go that far
You and the night is over
Will you tell me that you've
Always been thinking of me

Indirectly you say to me
The hand of a night
Is not a hand for me
That's the most sad
I've ever heard from another man
A wealthy man
That's the most sad
I've ever heard from another man
A wealthy man

Oh I still see sunny days
Oh I go that far
You and the night is dragging on
Maybe I will dream that you will tell me
You've always been thinking of me

Indirectly you say to me
The hand is not a hand for me
Indirectly you say again the hand of
The night is not
A hand for me

That's the most sad I've ever heard
From another man
A wealthy man
That's the most sad I've ever heard
From another man
A wealthy man

    Song meanings has been taken over by shitty fuckin lyric generators that replaced all the edited lyrics. To correct jocularjosh, I think the word is "knight" in the second verse, as in the hand of a knightly man.

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"

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
