Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead (I'd dig you)
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead (I'd dig you)
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead

A long time ago, you took six months a walkin'
Talkin' on the other side
What started as an experiment
Turned into a heaven-sent message that saved your ass from dyin'
Somebody said

[Chorus]
"In life there's always peaks and valleys,
And if you're lost they won't show you the way"
That same somebody said "I'd dig you better dead
But I'd much rather see if your God is what you say, say, say"

And with the awesome power they struck
1st they offered up the buck
Right in the middle, right in the middle they stuck (right in the middle)
A toke or to, what the fuck? (what the fuck?)

One minute you're hot
Tell the truth and you're not
That's the noose that they hang on a goose like you
Somebody said

[Chorus]

Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead [Repeat: x4]

And whatever you do, don't make somebody happy
Don't dress to freaky and make their daughters stare
Then you'll find out how deep the valley truly be
If you plan on catchin' the bus, you better have plenty fare
Somebody said

[Chorus]

Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig, dig, dig you better dead
I'd dig, dig you better dead
Somebody said

[Chorus]

I'd dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead [Repeat: x3]

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
