Down The Hatch

We Are Scientists

I spent the last ten years beneath the ground
Open this safety hatch and let me out
I know it's not my fault but I'm not sure how this started
All that I know right now is that I want out, yeah

If I'm so smart why can't I understand that I've got my head buried in the sand?
I'd love to cast some blame but I'm not sure who to point to
All that I know right now is that I want out, yeah
I want out, yeah

I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I'd like to dig myself out of this hole
And I will dig myself out of this hole

I'm sick and tired of being underground
I say it's high time that you bailed me out
I can't believe my luck
This is how it always ends
All that I know right now is that I want out, yeah
I want out, yeah

I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I'd like to dig myself out of this hole
And I will dig myself out of this hole if I could

I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta....

    It kind of reminds me of being in a relationship that isn't good for him, but he can't get out of it. Maybe his girlfriend is really dominating and completely controls him.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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”

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.

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.
