Some people kill for less
Some people find
It hard to get dressed
Some people well
Ask how old I am

Some people live
In a life
Some people need
More than a slice
But when it fades
When the glitters gone

[Chorus]

Old and lonely
When the shade is down
The brighter lights
Just smells their empty heads

Some people don't get much
Some people feel here and touch
What your spirit wants
Is talking to you now

Some people just gotta say
Some people just wanna play
They get a kick
When it's all messed up

[Chorus]

And what you thought you
Lost was just mislaid
All the poems
Written in your skin

[Chorus x2]

And what you thought you
Lost was just mislaid
All the poems
Written in your skin

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"

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.
