I'm from where the magic is...
I give you what I cannot take away with me..
Have my sunlit day and moon...

I want to have a silent kiss
I want to make you mine, I´m thinking, how...
Can´t leave me now...
Stay with me somehow...

You come from where the fire is...
You give me what you could not burn the last time..
One sunless day and moon...

I want to be so close to you
to see whatever scars you carry
within your broken heart,
Mine´s your missing part...

Come with me where the magic is...
There's more than time we can share
We could join the sun and moon

If you want to...
be my lifeline for this lifetime
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever I'd like to see how
the walls around your heart will fall apart
stop resisting, let the light in
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever,
this one lifetime.

Let me take you where the magic is...
Back in time, remember the light
of the cold December moon...

I want to have a silent kiss
I want to make you mine, I´m thinking,
You can´t leave me now...
Stay with me, somehow...

Come with me where the magic is...
There is more than life that we can share
We could own the sun and moon

be my lifeline for this lifetime...
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever I'd like to see how
the walls around your heart will fall apart
stop resisting, let the light in
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever,
this one lifetime.

be my lifeline for this lifetime
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever
stop resisting, let the light in
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever,
this one lifetime.

I am feeling your face in the dark
I'm hearing you breathe in the dark
I am tasting your lips in the dark
I'm holding you close in the dark

I'll take you where the magic is
I'll give you everything I only can offer
You can have my broken midnight moon

If you give me your broken heart
and I will give you something real and golden.
We can make this life the finest art...

I come from where the magic is...
I give you what I could take away with me..
Have a sunlit day and moon...

I want to have a silent kiss
I want to make you mine, I´m thinking, how...
Can´t leave me now...
Stay with me somehow...

I am feeling your face in the dark
I'm hearing you breathe in the dark
I am tasting your lips in the dark
I'm holding you close in the dark

    I think that this song describes an impossible relationship between a boy and girl who have polar opposite personalities and attitudes to life.

    The boy is represented by the moon. He's a dreamer, he's sensitive and loving, his view of the world is 'magical', full of mystery and intrigue, which may explain his affection for the girl. She's represented by the sun, burning bright with intense emotions. She appears stubborn, pessimistic, protective of oneself and defensive.

    Regardless, the boy sees past her fiery exterior and knows there is a kind hearted person inside. He wants her to be open with him, he wants to show her that it is possible for great things to happen in life, and that they could share happiness together. He wants to 'cure' her bitterness by showing her love ("if you give me your broken heart, I will give you something real and golden")*.

    I'm guessing that the lines where the boy describes holding and kissing the girl etc are the fantasies running through his head, rather than what is actually happening. He wants to do these things with her, but out of self defence she won't let herself get close enough to anyone for it to happen.

    My two cents! -Roon

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
