"Kezia, my darling, please never forget
World's got the substance of a frozen summer silhouette"
Said my mother through lips that were cracked with love and toil
Before she added, "the warmest of blankets is six feet of soil"

She had a perfume called "Pride" that smelled a lot more like (shame)
So when she walked into the room I was sleeping
Heard her curse my father's name
It was our situation, our position, our gender to blame

(It was the lonely grey of my father's eyes staring back in the)
The mirror's frame
(It was the lonely grey of my father's eyes staring back in the)
Mirror's frame

Mother, oh, mother, shaking while I write
Tonight I'll stay awake and try to breathe away my fright
Mother, oh, mother, shaking while I write
Tonight I'll stay awake and try to breathe away my fright

There's a letter waiting for me
That I have yet to read
There's a letter waiting for me
That I have yet to read
Because I know it's not from you
You're the only one I need
You're the only one I need
I'm tired and I'm cold and I want to go to bed
Buy there's no one here to tuck me in
So the shotgun will instead
(I'm tired, I'm cold)
The shotgun will instead
(I want to go to bed, I want to go to bed)
I want to
(No one here to tuck me in)
So this shotgun will

    I know, it's freaking awsome,but, as far as i can understand from this song is that Kezia is recalling a point in time where she was being talked to by her mother, and what she meant when she said, "the warmest of blankets is six feet in soil" probably means that death ( which also means six feet under ) is the only source of comfort. That's all i have thought up so far... so... please do not scrutinize me if i am wrong, i'm just interpreting the song according to my beliefs. PBS!

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"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
