Fixing an eye on the hopeful
In a heartless room you'll be done soon
The snow is falling down
And the whole damn town is covered with white
It's obvious that trust is the catch and the magnet
That could pull you through this braille night
Where nothing's free and you just can't see
How to sacrifice what you need to be

You can't shake this silence still
In your heart you're just not there
You're a thousand miles from here
You just want to disappear

Winter went out with a whimper
Such a lonely sound to try to get around
Imagine yourself as a little kid
In your parents arms and then it's gone
You step to the mic almost petrified
'cause everything you feel is in your eyes
You cannot hide but you're haunted
By the early frost
By the ones you've lost

Beauty shines so bright
Vanishes from sight
Wrap yourself in the night
Love with all your might

You can't shake this silence still
In your heart you're just not there
You're a thousand miles from here
You just want to disappear
You're a thousand miles away
You're a thousand miles away
You're a thousand miles away
You're a thousand miles away

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"

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.

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.

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.
