You and me
A little different though we tried to stay the same
It never leaves
And when it changes, it is still a waiting game

I wait for a lonely breath
I wait to surface from this death
Wait for the light to come
And take away these images I get
In my head

More than ever
I need to feel you
More than ever
I see the real you

You are me
A worst disaster would be waking up alone
Now we're free
We're drifting out like all the ones we didn't know

I wait for a silence here
I wait for things to disappear
Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear
If I lose you, I don't know

More than ever
I need to feel you
It's all around
More than ever
I see the real you
And it's around
And it's around
And it's around
And it's around

Everything, everything
We have had
Out of sight out of mind
Given that
What I see when I dream
Hurts like hell and back

Everything, everything
We have had
Out of sight out of mind
Given that
What I see when I dream
Hurts like hell and back

More than ever
I need to feel you
It's all around
More than ever
I see the real you
And it's around

More than ever
I need to feel you
It's all around
More than ever
I see the real you
And it's around
And it's around
And it's around
And it's around

    Hmm, the meaning of this song is 'grey', uncertain to me, however as i listened to it in my car, I pondered the thought that it could be a spirtual song, about jesus possibly. I don't know their religion so this is purely speculation: "Though we tried to stay the same It never leaves And when it changes it is still a waiting game"

    Generally, one to achieve salvation needs to be one with christ, or accept them into their hearts, souls etc, so they become 'one' or the same. Jesus supposedly is with you always, and when, if he leaves, he still waits to be taken to somewhere, (an afterlife).

    "I wait for a lonely breath I wait to surface from this death Wait for the light to come And take away these images I get In my head"

    It may be a bit of a stretch, but lonely signifies one, or the only, and lonely breath to me means his last breath. Surface from this death, rise above, to heaven. Wait for the light to come, often when encountered with death, people see beams of light coming from heaven. Take away these images i get in my head; he wants to not have to imagine anymore, so he can experience it for himself, not what people draw, or what people say, but wants to see heaven for himself.

    "More than ever I need to feel you More than ever I see the real you"

    First half relates to physical life, I need to feel you, like they are one, he needs him to be in his heart.

    Second half relates to the spirtual life, and now hes in heaven and sees Jesus

    "You are me A worst disaster would be waking up alone Now we're free We're drifting out Like all the ones we didn't know I wait for a silent tear I wait for things to disappear Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear If I lose you I don't know"

    I think its You and Me, Our worst disaster, but ok aside from that Waking up alone would mean, they are not one, he is no longer 'saved' and another one of Jesus's children would not go to heaven, hence it is a disaster for them both.

    Now we're free We're drifting out Like all the ones we didn't know

    They're free from their bodies, drifting in the wind, like everyone that had died before them that they didnt get to meet,know.

    "I wait for a silent tear I wait for things to disappear Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear If I lose you I don't know" Silent tear refers to death, all is silent when someone dies, and a tear is shed from their loved ones. Everything essentially 'dissappears' from your life, the ground stops moving because he is no longer walking on ground;

    He does not know his future if he is not saved.

    Everything, everything We've had Out of sight out of mind Given that What I see when I dream Hurts like hell and back

    In the end everything he has means nothing, and everything that he could have had hurts like 'hell' and back, which hints at something :P

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
