And you told me that it wont make sense, you said that I was out of my mind
But you know a fog like that, and love will make you change your mind
A card-carrying lip gloss tease, a cell phone and some magazines
But that'll never make it right, 'cause I think for myself tonight.
Well do you really want to know? No, I really didn't think so. No, no, no.
If you tell the truth it's ok, and he said "This is all I want, but I refuse to take my best shot"
(This isn't what I want, so I'll take my best shot). It's such a shame that he'd say.
It's such a shame, but that's ok.
And friendship is built on something more (Let me know what that is) then a hundred shows across this prairie state. Oh, I'll fall in love a hundred times every single Friday night to the sound and the lights
Well count me in to games un-played.
Eastern dreams, stay serene
Loving all that I had, I will sink into the humid air, I will stop the waves and meet you there
Crash the van (let me know the damage) and flee the scene
Looking back onto our younger years, she cut the vanity, she broke her mirrors
And Fort Wayne doesn't stop time, just take me back to her and I'll be fine.. Until then I'm all done
I wanted to be left alone to cut and paste upon my window little bits of paper-made scenes to take away the rips in my jeans, and she said "I am just a mess, and I am quickly losing my breath", no you're not a mess, no one is a mess, you can borrow my breath, so can we help you, oh please? we'll bring you back to your knees. And I don't see the logic in your schemes, you know I never did. Your plans are made deeds to be dealt. I said "I feel I'm thinking like a kid again and you know, the way you're looking is a little sign down from hope, I came undone but all the pieces fit on the glass, another little kiss?" "no, I think I'll pass". The sun is shining but it's raining still on my side, there was a cloud but now it's breaking will you stay all night? And we can talk about the summer days that we love.
That sweet England breeze, and I can truly say that nothing compares to you, but everything has to end and so do we. Eastern dreams, stay serene
Loving all my whole life
I will go again to pull my hair, I pray to God that I will meet you there
Come and see my lifelong need
I'd give anything for that day. I will soar upon the highest cloud and never fall onto the cold dark ground
And my love always stops time.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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.
