This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It was midnight
Your hand was in mine
All eyes were on our table
It was after noon before you were out of bed
And I was able to concentrate
To figure out a plan to keep you here
To evaluate
To make a list, a list to convince you
Don't run away
It only fuels the flames
Don't pull away
It only makes me want to stay
It was Monday
You were packing on my floor
My eyes were charting every move you made
It was early evening before you were home
And I was sure you were safe
I can't concentrate
I try so hard to plan to keep you here
I can't evaluate
I threw away the list to convince you
Don't run away
It only fuels the flames
Don't pull away
It only makes me want to stay
Don't run away
It only fuels the flames
Don't pull away
It only makes me want to stay
Gone . . . gone . . . gone . . . gone . . .
Don't run away
It only fuels the flames
Don't pull away
It only makes me want to stay
(It was midnight)
Don't run away
It only fuels the flames
(It was midnight)
Don't pull away
It only makes me want to stay
Your hand was in mine
All eyes were on our table
It was after noon before you were out of bed
And I was able to concentrate
To figure out a plan to keep you here
To evaluate
To make a list, a list to convince you
Don't run away
It only fuels the flames
Don't pull away
It only makes me want to stay
It was Monday
You were packing on my floor
My eyes were charting every move you made
It was early evening before you were home
And I was sure you were safe
I can't concentrate
I try so hard to plan to keep you here
I can't evaluate
I threw away the list to convince you
Don't run away
It only fuels the flames
Don't pull away
It only makes me want to stay
Don't run away
It only fuels the flames
Don't pull away
It only makes me want to stay
Gone . . . gone . . . gone . . . gone . . .
Don't run away
It only fuels the flames
Don't pull away
It only makes me want to stay
(It was midnight)
Don't run away
It only fuels the flames
(It was midnight)
Don't pull away
It only makes me want to stay

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
I really like this song..I'm glad they added this one in =) I think she's trying to figure out how to get her lover to stay with her. the first bit is about the first time the girl mentioned that she didn't think things were working out, and during the second part she's watching her pack and get ready to leave and Tegan's at a loss of how she could stop the inevitable..
lol you are my favourite person, flyingxpony. I agree with your interpretation as well. And I absolutely adore the Paramore vibe of this song.
aww thank you! =D haha
might not be so cool to ask, but i figured i'd inquire anyway... might anyone be willing to share this song with me? it's the only one of the new songs that i've been unable to hear.

I think this song is about Tegan's relationship with Lindsey Byrnes. I might be wrong, but I think that The Con was also about her. Tegan chased after Lindsey for years because she couldn't decided whether or not she was a lesbian or not, and maybe this song is about problems they were having in their relationship at one point...
"it was midnight your hand was in mine all eyes were on our table it was after noon before you were out of bed and I was able to concentrate to figure out a plan to keep you here, to evaluate.. to make a list, a list to convince you"
I think that first verse is describing the fact that Lindsey may not have been comfortable being with Tegan, having people look at two women holding hands.
"it was monday you were packing on my floor my eyes were charting every move you made it was early evening before you were home and I was sure you were safe I can't concentrate I try so hard to plan to keep you here I can't evaluate I threw away the list to convince you"
This part is obviously describing Tegan being left, possibly because of what I said before, Lindsey was uncomfortable with the relationship and wanted out.
"don't run away; it only fuels the flames.. don't pull away; it only makes me want to stay.. (it was midnight)"
I guess here Tegan is trying to tell Lindsey not to leave, because she's not going to give up.
