A Reason For Broken Wings

A Skylit Drive

The battle loves to choose its fights
Collapse the sight of soldiers eyes
Bombs cascading over me
May my body rest in pieces

Spring morning rain
Heal the wounds in me
On me
The battle is won
I’m not coming home

Spring morning rain
Stitch me up with strings of symphonies
On me

The battle is won
Close your eyes just dream
I’m not coming home
The battle is won
Close your eyes just

Dream of me, locked inside your mind I’ll hide
Scream my name, feel me breathe along your thighs
Close your eyes just dream

Grasping of your sheets
Turn out the lights
Holding on to memories
Never felt so right

Shaking, squirming in your skin tonight
Oh my Marie, oh my Marie

This is a reason for broken wings

Spring morning rain
Heal the wounds in me
On me

The battle is won
Close your eyes just dream
I’m not coming home
The battle is won
Close your eyes just

Dream of me, locked inside your mind I’ll hide
Scream my name, feel me breathe along your thighs
Close your eyes just dream

    The battle loves to choose its fights Collapse the sight of soldiers eyes Bombs cascading over me May my body rest in pieces

    i think song is sang from like the point of view of a ghost. in the beginning he explains how he is dead.

    Spring morning rain Heal the wounds in me On me The battle is won I’m not coming home

    Spring morning rain Stitch me up with strings of symphonies On me

    The battle is won Close your eyes just dream I’m not coming home The battle is won Close your eyes just...

    Dream of me, locked inside your mind I’ll hide Scream my name, feel me breathe along your thighs Close your eyes just dream

    then right there he's trying to tell either his a. wife, b. gf, or c. best friend he is love with but she doesn't know, that his dead but doesn't know about and she is like wondering where he's gone or what happened to him. now i think he could of died in like either a war sense or anything else you could think of that would go along with the beginning verse.

    Grasping of your sheets Turn out the lights Holding on to memories Never felt so right

    Shaking, squirming in your skin tonight Oh my Marie, oh my Marie

    then right there he's like saying how he misses being in the room, in his bed with his wife/gf, i guess it makes more sense than the best friend that he loves and she doesn't know.

    This is a reason for broken wings

    and right there is like a figure of speech like he's an angel but his wife/gf won't/can't hear him so he's sorta saying like he can't fly with out her knowing.

    Spring morning rain Heal the wounds in me On me

    The battle is won Close your eyes just dream I’m not coming home The battle is won Close your eyes just...

    Dream of me, locked inside your mind I’ll hide Scream my name, feel me breathe along your thighs Close your eyes just dream

    and the song just continues with him trying to get to her.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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"

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
