This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I’ll rip your tongue out of your mouth
There ain’t a word you can say now
Sit back and listen carefully
To all the words I have to say
A ticking time bomb on the run
And I don’t regret a thing I’ve done
Always move forward don’t look back
My battle scars display my past
You point out all the faults I’ve made
As if you haven’t done the same
Look in the mirror; what do you see?
Is it a face that looks like me?
I’ve got some knives stuck in my back
From all the friends I used to have
Revenge is sweet I hear her say
The only faith that I believe
I’ve got some voices in my head
That tell me what to do and when
Your savior isn’t gonna help
So pack your bags, see you in hell
God forgive me for what I’ve done
For leading life the way I want
Turn the dials back up to ten
And sing this song to me again
There ain’t a word you can say now
Sit back and listen carefully
To all the words I have to say
A ticking time bomb on the run
And I don’t regret a thing I’ve done
Always move forward don’t look back
My battle scars display my past
You point out all the faults I’ve made
As if you haven’t done the same
Look in the mirror; what do you see?
Is it a face that looks like me?
I’ve got some knives stuck in my back
From all the friends I used to have
Revenge is sweet I hear her say
The only faith that I believe
I’ve got some voices in my head
That tell me what to do and when
Your savior isn’t gonna help
So pack your bags, see you in hell
God forgive me for what I’ve done
For leading life the way I want
Turn the dials back up to ten
And sing this song to me again

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
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 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.
