damnit anna don't look at me that way
you know very well what you did that day
yes you know very well
you say you got a soul to sell
but if you wanna meet the devil
you gotta go to hell

damnit anna can't you look me in the eyes
you better pay attention when i'm giving you advice
'cause you'll pay out then know
that nothing comes for free
you already paid the price of losing me

well i am big and flesh
i dread the words you read
a book without a cover
so don't judge me 'till its over

damnit anna don't you give me away
i'm sleeping in the shadows and i'm here to stay
they say if you love something
you better give it away
but i've seen the same things happen
in a canned rage

damnit anna (damnit anna)
damnit anna (damnit anna)
damnit anna (damnit anna)
damnit anna

    first of all, think it's bled instead of dread.

    second, this song seems to be about a guy who loves anna, and she's an idiot, and she keeps making mistakes, so she's lost him at least once before, and he doesn't want to lose her again, but it seems to be going in that direction.

    or at least that's what i say about it. cause my name is anna, and i screw up pretty bad.

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"

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
