I would fade away
If not for you today
And I would fall
If not for you
Our circles meet
Where it runs through

Keep me strong
I feel needed

And I would fall
If not for you
Our circles meet
Where it runs through

Keep me strong
I feel needed

And I can feel
Come in our own
It makes it real
Never alone

Find me a way
Keep me strong
Take me away
You're needed

I would fade away
If not for you today

    Song Meaning

    This song is deep!!! I love it, but yeah lemme tell you what he is singing about!

    I would fade away If not for you today And I would fall If not for you Our circles meet Where it runs through--- He has some pain that he's going through.... a struggle in his life...... and everytime he looks at her((( circles meaning... their eyes))) he sees his pain and knows that they have a level of understanding and love for each other.

    Keep me strong I feel needed----- Without her motivating him he would feel like he had no purpose. She makes him feel needed.

    Keep me strong I feel needed----- Don't give up on him... know that it's going to take some time to get over what he's going through..he's trying to fight it....he knows that he has a purpose and is setting out, making plans for his future.

    And I can feel Come in our own It makes it real Never alone

    Find me a way Keep me strong Take me away You're needed--- sometimes he wishes that he can go to a secret place just him and her and shut the world out. He wnats her to help him find his path and know it's the right decision.

    I would fade away If not for you today ----- pretty self explanatory.... meaning if it wasn't for her he'd want to just die cause she completes him.

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
