Secondhand Serenade

Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown

I tried to be
I can't get you out of my lonely mind
I'm suffering
How did I die?

Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown

    I have NEVER heard this version, but it is all over the internet. The version I have is

    "Don't let me drown Don't let me down

    I tried to be I can't get you out of my lonely mind I'm suffering How did I die"

    And that is played through the entire song.

    Mine also has the "Don't let me drown" stuff in it. I think it's the one on the album? I have no idea what the other one on the internet is

    I think I'd like this version a lot better than the one on the album.

    Man oh man I love the lyrics to this MIA version It's exactly what I'm going to be feeling come September when my girlfriend goes off to college in another state. I, being only 15 , won't be able to see her often and it kills me inside.

    "We'll finish our last nights in your car Just like we always do"

    that line relates to us too. I used to sneak out a lot and we'd just sit in her car

    =( another stage, another chapter...

    I love the lyrics... but like everyone else i only have the Don't let me drown version...

    BUT I WANT THIS ONE!

    Because the lyrics... were written about ME! Oh, well maybe not really. But they relate to my life in the most unbelievable of ways. So I NEED this version :'(

    It's obvious you're leaving soon

    He's leaving in a bit over a month... and it kills me all ready.

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.

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"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
