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"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
