If I may make it through the night I may have to kill everything in sight I grab onto what I see fit
It drifts to far to determine
I do not know what it will take
To give me my deliverance
Wipe the chagrin off of my face
I lay face down in your hatred
If you take away all my pain
I will create eternity

I cannot fight
You are not safe
All these words lie
In my dark past
Hands on my face
As I end life

I held on to
What you could not speak
You are gone forever
In the eyes of the weak
Saw the truth
You’re my saving grace
After thoughts
Of your blinded face
My last breath
And you before me
Torn away
From what could not be

    Taken from their webiste [adventwrath.com]. This is what Jack [their lyricist / vocalist] said about this song, considering he wrote it:

    "Life of Solitude (Confinement): It is about being in search of something, something to take away the horrible feelings that people go through on an almost daily basis. And after finding that something to make you happy, how you would be willing to have eternity with whatever it is. Throughout the course of the song you get an idea of just how hard that search can be, there is violence, happiness, upsettedness, depression and ultimately acceptance that the object you look for is unattainable.

    Quick story, in late August, 2003 I got very sick and spent a long time in the hospital recuperating, and I was gone for almost a month and was unable to practice with the rest of the band. As soon as I got home I asked the guys to tape some of the new stuff they came up with while I was out. The tape included the instrumental track to Deeds Left Undone, Haunted Tranquility, and Indiscretions, and I quickly got to writing, and just as quickly we had three new songs, so these are really special because I never thought I could even be alive to write them."

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"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
