Its not pain when you breathe in two,
No one to catch your insecurities
You cling to the sadness in your dreams
Being happy is something you don't need

You know how to play that game
Even though your the only one that plays
So attached to the feeling that you fake
Your weakness is your own strength

[Chorus]
Your so emotional, I don't think you feel anything
So conversation over, every time you start to scream
Dark circles around your eyes, your drop of tears inside
You always swear, this the last tear, you'll ever cry
You traded honesty for lies
You faked it all of your life
You always swear, this is the last tear
You will ever cry

Are you bored with the life you chose
You pushed them all the way, you know
You never allowed yourself to grow
Your angry at me now that you are exposed
Your story always based on fiction,
So many layers of contradictions
Only fear has driven your decisions
Has become your one addiction

[Chorus: x2]

You always swear, this is the last tear
You will ever cry

    Listening to this song... on this day. Every choice leads to sadness even when it seems necessary or right at the time. Being open and honest with others. just to be shot down

    Sick of this pain. of crying because of it and them. so close to shutting up, closing and barricading within.

    Knowledge that your the cause, that your the drama queen. you pretend your ok. when inside yoru screaming for someone to see through you. and wipe the tear from your face.

    Trading the honesty you have with those who say they're your friends or love. only to have that honesty come back and crush you into despair. a small step to lying and being fake. for thier sakes as wel as your own.

    lol what it makes me think neway >.>

    I think it's more about a compulsive liar who pretends to be sad just for people to feel sorry for him/her and was exposed and now people are realizing that his/her story is fake. Reminds me of a friend I had who said she was a druggie and had all these issues that were found to be false.

    My Interpretation

    I think its about a person who tries to be happy but inside is so very sad and messed up. Not an emo people actually have issues. It is hard to pretend to be happy for everyone else when you feel sad. You feel fake and misunderstood. It's about the fakeness of having to always be happy for other people and not being able to be your self with anyone. You cry and cry and try so much to be better and happy but it never happens. You are angry at yourself because you are as fake as everyone else.

    My Interpretation

    This song I believe is about someone who hides how they truly feel because they are hurt by their past. But it also is about someone who can not make up their mind and feels one way one moment then another way the next, and never learns from their past mistakes, and keeps letting their choices beat themselves down into the same hole even though they refuse they wont cry anymore.

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."

American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
