Honestly,
I know you like to keep a mystery
But there's this girl I know who's sad, you see
And I'd like to show her life is ain't always real

Camilo that's where you come in, my friend
Show me your secrets, show me all of them
I promise I wont say a word again
And as long as I'm alive,
I'll be the best that I can be

Ca-Ca-Ca-Camilo!
I need to see where you made that combo
'Cause I got some questions about the world I know
And to find the difference between real and show
Camilo

Watch my eyes
Put a coin your hand, now, and squeeze real tight
I'll make both sides and so when you decide
You'll have complete control of your whole life

Camilo, that's where you come in
Be my assistant, be my right-hand man
We'll find a place between fact and fiction
And as long as they don't know,
We'll be the masters of pretend

Ca-Ca-Ca-Camilo!
I need to see where you made that combo
'Cause I got some questions about the world I know
And to find the difference between real and show
Camilo

Caroline, I saw your disbelief,
You're mystified, and so am I
Let's make like enemies and disappear

Camilo!
I need to see where you made that combo
'Cause I got some questions about the world I know
And to find the difference between real and show
Camilo!

    "Put a coin in your hand now and squeeze real tight I'll make both sides heads so when you decide You'll have complete control of your whole life"

    What a lovely thought. Reminds me of a passage in The History of Love by Nicole Krauss: "For her I changed pebbles into diamonds, shoes into mirrors, I changed glass into water, I gave her wings and pulled birds from her ears and in her pockets she found the feathers, I asked a pear to become a pineapple, a pineapple to become a lightbulb, a lightbulb to become the moon, and the moon to become a coin I flipped for her love, both sides were heads: I knew I couldn't lose." Lovely book, lovely song, life's good. :)

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"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
