I Killed the Prom Queen

I curse your name, I curse the earth you travelled
With a heart so serrated it draws lacerations across the hands
You used to hold so tightly up until now
Im glad farewells were exchanged before today
This phrase has never sounded so sweet to my ears
I Don't mourn this act or mourn for you, mourn for you
and with those encounters still installed in my mind
I leave with a putrid taste inside my mouth
every living thing on this earth dies alone, dies alone
this phrase never sounded so sweet to my ears
every living thing on this earth dies alone, dies alone
this phrase never sounded so sweet to my ears
with reason enough to curse the earth you walk from
those final encounters stuck, stuck in my mind
the scent of abhorrence still lingers
part your exit this moment is only married
by thoughts of your presence
i curse your name and the earth you're walking on
Everything living on this earth dies alone...
Everything living on this earth dies alone...
Everything living on this earth dies alone...
Everything living on this earth dies alone...
These scornful thoughts resurrect to the sound of that name.
the scent of abhorrence still lingers here to look at those lacerations
with no chance to heal, no chance to, heal
these scurnful thoughts linger on
these scurnful thoughts linger on
these scurnful thoughts linger on [fade out]

    DR. THURMAN What did Grandma Death Say to You?

    DONNIE She said, "Everything living on this earth dies alone"

    DR. THURMAN how does that make you feel?

        DONNIE
        I'd like to believe that I'm not... but
        I've just never seen any proof. So I just
        choose not to bother with it. It's, like,
        I could spend my whole life thinking
        about it... debating it in my head.
        Weighing the pros and cons. And in the
        end, I still wouldn't have any proof. So
        ...I don't even debate it any more.
        Because it's absurd

        I don't want to be alone
        So, does that make me, like, an atheist?

    DR. THURMAN No. That makes you keep searching.

    "Every living thing on this earth dies alone" is said in the movie "Donnie Darko". I don't know if that's a reference to it or something

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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"

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
