Go ahead and nail my face to the floor
Cause you know I'll never make it in my own
You're the blood in my veins
You're the fire burning deep inside

A bitter taste of today
Such as each one that passes
I'll fight this again tomorrow
Watch as the scales fall from my eyes

Another chance to overcome
A bitter taste of today
In a moment it can fade away
Our lives can change so fast

You're the blood in my veins
You're the fire burning deep inside
You'll see a change in me
Watch as the scales fall from my eyes

Go ahead and nail my...to the floor
Go ahead and nail my...to the floor
Go ahead and nail my...to the floor

    As I posted these lyrics yesterday I wouldn't expect there to be many comments yet.

    As for the meaning:
    V1: Do what you want with me, God, because I know I need you to live and I know you won't give me more than I can handle. Chorus: Every day is hard, but God renews my strength everyday so I can "overcome". V2: Anything can change at any time, but God is my strength and I rely on him. Whateverthatlastpartiscalled: God has changed me and given me hop and strength to make it through life.

    And yes, it's an awesome song with awesome screaming.

    The background vox by Cory from NJ is a nice touch.

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.

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.
