We all have out secrets some don't site well
Some will turn to white lies just as well
Why can't you come clean and tell the truth?
Come clean

Always watching you watch
You're always right on time

I'm on fire
Will someone put me out?
Reaching for the stars above the clouds
I'm burning
Come clean
Tell the truth

Torched by an angel, the Devils breath

Sop being anxious
This villain is faceless
She follows, she traces
This liquors now tasteless
I can't change this
This lack of breathing will make you sick
Under the knifes where I'll make you slip.
I can't change this I can't change

A selfish hear appears kind
O love. It comes in shades of grey
Its so easy to be used by you.

Sop being anxious
This villain is faceless
She follows, she traces
This liquors now tasteless
I can't change this
This lack of breathing will make you sick
Under the knifes where I'll make you slip.
I can't change this
I can't change

Torched by an angel, the Devils breath

    The first line should say "sit" not site... Anyway, I think it's pretty clear that this song is about dishonesty...and I think it's probably safe to assume that the speaker was/is dealing with someone who can't be completely truthful, which, at one point, the speaker took very personally--and obsessed over this fact, fearing that they were somehow responsible for this behavior & hoped if they could just get close enough to this individual, they may no longer feel the need to lie...but he is slowly coming to realize that the problem is rooted deep within the other person, existing long before they met, and changing this may be far beyond is own abilities ("reaching for the stars" symbolizing expecting too much). I think he is fed up & just waiting to catch her in another lie so that he can finally let go & move on ("Under the knifes where I'll make you slip"). In the line "This lack of breathing will make you sick" the lack of breathing is all the truths that go unsaid, and the sickness, in this case, would be guilt, shame, confusion, etc. He says she has "devils breath" because most of what comes out of her mouth are lies & deception, fueled by ill intentions.

    My favorite line is definitely "A selfish heart appears kind O love. It comes in shades of grey Its so easy to be used by you."

    It's not something most people acknoweledge--most would generalize selfishness as something mainly manifested thru rudeness, but I have observed thru my own experiences that, selfish people tend to manipulate others into giving them/helping them to get what they want with kindess. They say whatever they feel is necessary to get them from point A to point B, regardless of the emotional or financial expense to the other person. It's easy for him to be used by her cause she's so good at making him feel like it's worth it--that she deserves it/he owes it to her, and maybe she manipulates him so well that he can't even see when she's using him a lot of the time.

    That's what I got out of the song.

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."
