Wooo!

I've been round here long enough,
Send the smooth but only cut the rough.
Got no reason,
Oh no, I got no reason.
Police go on the radio,
I ain't got no place to go,
I got no reason,
Oh no, I gotta reason.

Well you say
When you go out to town,
Baby I can't shove you round,
But baby, let's generate some heat,

Gotta reason
Oh, yeah I got a reason.

Hang on baby, you know me out, you make me want to scream and shout. I've gotta reason, yeah, yeah, I gotta reason

You can make your own as well.
I like your face, girl,
I like your style.
You've gotta reason,
Oh yeah, I've gotta reason.

Yeah get out,
I wanna eat you up like food,
Oh baby,
Lets generate sooome heat,
I gotta reason!
Oh yeah, I gotta reason.

All right! Lets go!
Check it out,
Lets check it out, yeah.

Gotta get my head just right,
Gotta make my move tonight,
Gotta reason
Yeah, I've gotta reason
Oh I gotta reason

Gotta get my head just right,
Gotta make my move tonight,
Gotta reason
Yeah, I've gotta reason
Oh I gotta reason

Gotta get my head just right,
Gotta make my move tonight,
Gotta reason
Yeah, I've gotta reason
Oh I gotta reason

I've got a reason, gotta
I've got a reason, gotta
I've got a reason, gotta
I've got a reason, gotta
I've got a reason, gotta
I've got a reason, gotta
I've got a reason, gotta
I've got a reason, gotta

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"

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
