you stay here
i cannot leave here without what i came for
you came here on your own
don’t you think about leaving now
until i get what i came here for
the tale of the silent the departure from our trust

we’re watching, we’re waiting
for the clock to tick
and the moment when your eyes slide back
and we head towards the door
is this what you came here for?
is this what you wanted?
cause this is what we’ve wanted all along

all alone inside this house she sits and writes her stories
but the pages are blank, or so they think
what a mess, what a mess

oh, start spreading the news
start spreading the news
i want to hear all about about it
oh, let’s starts something new
start something new
they’ll hear all about it

this wont stop
her endless fight to seize the night as we know it
the countless times we’ve tried to stop and have blown it
if you only knew the damage she could do with her tongue
well baby, i know and i’m all in
i’m about to give you something to write another book

while we were watching and waiting
we did the same thing, we wrote a story
but this time the plot line's just a little bit different
let’s just say you die

we torch down the walls
you scream as smoke fills your halls
you hang your heart here no longer
the ceiling fan spins
from the roar of the wind
we did this all for you

i, i think we should see other people
meet other people, there's plenty of people
but not like you were magnificent
strait 10's in my book baby
i'm addicted
i'm an addict to your smell, your taste, your everything

it’s getting harder to tell these lies
well, i’m just getting started
if i were you i wouldn’t want to miss my chance to stay alive

oh, start spreading the news
start spreading the news
i want to hear all about about it
oh, let’s starts something new
start something new
they’ll hear all about it

did you think that this was over?

with this pen,
i’ll show the fucking world what i can do with it
tomorrow won’t see the light of day
we’ll show them all
and besides this medication,
sit back, relax, and enjoy our presentation
tomorrow you won’t see the light of day
we’ll show them all

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"

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
