your branches are growing strong, absorbing the praise from above
but the roots that hold your weight are slowly breaking up
now you dont mind the heat, or lack of rain in the clouds
but soon enough youll dry up and return to the ground

the desert wind has betrayed you; it seems youre all alone
the nights are cold and now you wish that you had known
the cactus life is tough; but not so much when friends pull through
so next time dont forget them and they wont forget about you

respect fades, the heat creates some distance between us
shelter greed with spines; we see your true self underneath

i can see the wall of rain
across the open desert plain
and you wont fight unless you know you can win

dig yourself into the ground
and search for drops; the rushing sound
of air above declares the changing of winds

dont expend your energy on something that you dont believe

    this is all metaphorical, so you can relate to this cactus. your life is strong, full of good and happines, the traditional stuff. but your roots your foundations are 'breaking up' .you can deal with it for now, but eventually its going to wear you out. your company has 'betrayed you' but you could get through this life with your friends, but now theyre gone. its easy to interpret, its just all metaphors

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,

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
