I can't eat; anything
Without shoving my hands down my throat
And I refuse to leave the world without smearing on makeup
With my hair blinding my eyes
Whoaaaaa
Blinding my eyes

[Chorus]
I can't remember
The last time I've seen my own eyes
Or the color of my skin
Do you know
What it's like to feel ugly all the time

I stretch myself across the world
Pushing my limits for your entertainment
And you had the nerve
To call out my weaknesses
And drag me through the dirt

[Chorus]

[Repeat x2]
Whoaaaa
Whoaaaa

[Repeat x4]
I'm staring in the mirror
Looking back at the person I hate

I can't remember
The last time I've seen my own eyes
Or the color of my skin
Do you know
What it's like

[Chorus]

Whoaaa
Whoaaa

The color of my skin
Do you know
What it's like to feel ugly all the

    This song IS about Sonny. He did suffer from bulimia. The lyrics are pretty much self explanitory, about how he never was satisfied with himself or his appearance. "And I refuse to leave the world without smearing on makeup with my hair blinding my eyes" -- He's trying to cover up himself and make himself invisible so no one would put him down more than he was putting himself down, hence the line "And you had the nerve to call out my weakness". And I would also like the say that I absolutely loveee this song :)

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"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.
