They just keep swallowing us
They just keep hustling us
They just keep beating us down
Down

They just keep holding us back
Wished I could just see the attack
They just keep beating us down
Down

Its time we took up a stand
Take a wrong out of our hands
'Cause I know we just don't realize

What's next
Look what they've done to us
They don't know who to trust, oh
What's next
It's just so meaningless
Wish I was simple and bliss, oh

Take the soldiers and put them in sand
Put the child right in from the man
It's not hard to get swallowed up
George Bush is fucking us up
See that the lies that he has sewn
Wash us up and he has done
Wash us up and he has done
This time he has taken his hits of this thinkin'

Let me inside
Open up your heart
Come on and
Let me inside
Open up your heart

They just keep swallowing us
We don't know who to trust

They just keep swallowing us
We don't know who to trust

They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust

They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust

They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust

They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust

Let me inside
Open up your heart
Come on and
Let me inside
Open up your heart

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"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
