You should have ran for days
You embrace you betray
I am sick to say
You're a sad cliché
But when you ran you tripped and fell
On a path that lead you straight to hell
This is my salt in your wounds
This is my "I told you so"

If you knew what I know
Would you move like you do?
With malicious discontent
You went about hell-bent to destroy
But did you have a reason why?

Here's to lowering caskets of old friends
Choice and consequence
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and
Start over, start over
Here's to burying hatchets
In those who you'd never call your friends
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old day and
Start over! Start over!

Can you breathe in, reach and let it out
Thee evil inside that's eating you out tonight
With every venomous move I will suck you up and spit you
Get out of my life
Get out of my sight!

Here's to lowering caskets of old friends
Choice and consequence
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and
Start over, start over
Here's to burying hatchets
In those who you'd never call your friends
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old day and
Start over! Start over!

You let yourself get carried away
Don't act like your ashamed
You let yourself get carried away
Bow your head now, accept the blame
You let yourself get carried away
Bury this with you, a waste
And now it's time to see
What you don't mean to me

Now it's time to see
What you don't mean to me
Now it's time to see
What you don't mean to me

Here's to lowering caskets of old friends
Choice and consequence
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and
Start over, start over
Here's to burying hatchets
In those who you'd never call your friends
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old day and

    it's way too soft in my opinion and: "it's not over" = "start over" (that's what i hear)

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
