The has been high school hero,
He's first in line in his own mind and doesn't care about the rest
A handsome half wit zero he'll be your friend until the end if you're the coolest and the best
He falls in love with his reflection in the glass
He can't resist to staring back
He makes a case that all you've ever needed is a pretty face
But the bottom line above it is that never was is all he'll ever be
He can't resist the pillow of devotions of a narcissist
It doesn't matter anyway cause he's a self full-filling prophecy of make believe

She's a suburban princess
She's had it all since she was small and sucking on a silver spoon
Another gold card purchase
This daddy's girl thinks the whole world revolves around her like the moon
Each days are filled to here where all the boys will stare
She pretends she doesn't care
She makes a case that all you've ever needed is a pretty face
But the bottom line above it is that never was is all she'll ever be
She can't resist the pillow of devotions of a narcissist
It doesn't matter anyway cause she's a self full-filling prophecy of make believe
Of make believe
Of make believe

And on the day he met her, the hyper tension of their love connection almost sealed the deal
Happily ever after who better for each other than another candidate to
Make a case that all you've ever needed is a pretty face
But the bottom line above is that never was is all they'll ever be
They cant resist the pillow of devotions of a narcissist
But their together anyway and showed themselves a taste of reality

We can't resist the pillow of devotions of a narcissist
It doesn't matter anyway cause we're a self fulfilling prophecy of make believe
Of make believe
Of make believe
Of make believe.

    The real lyrics (from the book of the CD)

    The has been high school hero, He's first in line in his own mind and doesn't care about the rest, A handsome half-wit zero, He'll be your friend until the end if your the coolest and the best,

    He falls in love with his reflection in the glass, He can't resist who's staring back,

    He makes a case, That all you've ever needed is a pretty face, But the bottom line about it is a "never was" is all he'll ever be, He can't resist, the paranoid delusions of a narcissist, It doesn't matter anyway cause he's a self fulfilling prophecy, Of make believe.

    She's a suburban princess, She's had it all since she was small and sucking on a silver spoon, Another gold card purchase, This daddy's girl thinks the whole world revolves around her like the moon,

    Each day's her film premiere where all the boys will stare, She pretends she doesnt care,

    She makes a case, That all you've ever needed is a pretty face, But the bottom line about it is a "never was" is all she'll ever be, She can't resist, the paranoid delusions of a narcissist, It doesn't matter anyway cause she's a self fullfilling prophecy, Of make believe.

    And on the day he met her, the high pretension of their love connection all but sealed the deal, Happily ever after, who better for each other than another candidate to,

    Make a case, that all they've ever needed is a pretty face, but the bottom line about it is a "never was" is all they'll ever be, they can't resist, the paranoid delusions of a narcissist, but they're together anyway and share their self obsessed reality, We can't resist, the paranoid delusions of a narcissist, it doent matter anyway cause we're all self fulfilling prophecies, of make believe!

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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."

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.
