They call her bulldozer speech demon
Without distractions of hope she makes
The depression business look surprisingly novel
And she's not just royal, allegedly loyal
Kind of faithful, but she has no faith in me
Inhale the damage smoothly; Paradise isn't lost, it was hiding all along

[Chorus:]
There's the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you cum
The ones that make you come unglued, yeah

I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
Bottomless celebrity scar, staged circuses for schoolgirls
Boys are all dressed up like a mediocre suicide omen
Here comes the red carpet grave again, and again, and again, oh man

[Chorus]

I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
Can't turn my back on you when you're walking away

[Chorus x 2]

It's easy to beat the system
Had a hard time beating the symptoms
Had a hard time beating the symptoms

I can't turn my back on you, can't turn my back on you
I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
Here comes the red carpet grave again, and again, and again
Here comes the red carpet grave again, and again, and again, oh man

    a bulldozer is the big truck with a cyllender that flattens people, i mean stuff... usually used in construction it sometimes co-stars in violent cartoons that america is trying to make PC

    and yeah the song is about Dita, it makes me kindof want to give him a hug and say something comforting, the big sap that i am

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"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
