I control an awkward soul
And my lines
Are automatic, automatically drawn
Realizing a multiverse in just one thing
And then I'm automatic, automatically gone

Writing down my infinity
Writing for all eternity

Colors relate to numbers relate to sound
Relates to form relate to war relate to sex
Relates to healing
Relates to all god vibration

Formula

I'd like to take it easy
I'd like to think I try
I'd like to think forever
I would not question why!
I'd like to say I'm sorry,
I do not know the words
All I can say right now is
Everything happens when no ones around!

Writing down my infinity
Writing for all eternity
Eliminate inner parenthesis,
Now combine like terms remembering to watch negative signs
I'm right here forward
Incriminate, fall down, hide soft; inner terminated.
Om! Om! Om!
Be careful with polynomial colors
Colors
There can never be an answer
We can never factor om

And I know you've found your pain
And it's the last thing you'll ever do
And you've only got you to thank!

Oh I control an awkward soul
In my time
And then I'm automatic, automatically god

Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fucking fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fucking fight!

    The first Strapping song I ever heard. I love it.

    I found the above explanation to be pretty interesting, but perhaps a stretch..I don't know though. Devin can write some crazy songs.

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"

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/

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.

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.
