Now the first kid in the crew
Is called imagination
The team without him stationed
First to work on the aspiration
But with him it's all about having patience
There's no exact science to his magic making
But imaginations still the worlds finest engineer
Who invents by merely paying no attention to his peers
Tends to veer from convention
And has a pension for beers
Brewed from sunsets
He says he drink until his senses clear
He's Einstein brilliant
With skills to design buildings
No mind is equal so he spends his time with children on sight
He draws the blueprint that sets the plan in motion
So you know that he always takes his time to create designs
Imagination works without tools or drills
He's not trained and never went to school for skills
Still nothing starts till he hits the site
He often brings the sketches to the foreman
In the middle of the night
Then he heads home til the next project starts
Leaving the boss to put together all the parts

Foremans a born leader with a strong eye for detail
To some it's surprising that the boss is a female
But more remarkable is how she starts to go
Once the plans are drawn
Assembling the squad and supplies so the job doesn't die on paper
Whether its a song
Soliloquay
Or a tall sky scraper
Her name is intellect but her friends call her mental
Just for short and for jokes and though
She boasts all the credentials
Most incredible of all of her traits is
That as small as a shape is
She's strong as an ape is
She even does most of the work
All on her own
Carrying bricks and stones
But its tricks don't check it
Sis applies physics if the load is heavy
And she always goes slow and steady until she knows its ready
See intellect is mathematic
Professional
And perpetual pragmatic
But skeptical
So she measures all the angles and
Checks the scales
She makes plans then makes plans for if the plans fail
She also oversees all the companies construction
And when the teams finished
There's just one more part
A specialist to make the creation a real piece of art

Now hearts not a crass pin
But all the skill in the world
Adds up to just a fraction of his soul and passion
He makes pieces long lasting
Like intellect hes small and humble
But if he wasn't involved
It would all crumble you see
Heart applies a polish that
Puts a special shine on the work intellect build and
Imagination designed
Plus he also adds a touch of the divine
To protect from the blind
And the elements all the time
Without him great pieces often go to waste
And he makes the less refined unique in every case
He'll work through all conditions
Even in snow and rain
Somehow pushing himself through the coldest days
Covered in cuts and scratches
With no complaints and Novocaine
Just a threshold for pain
It'll blow your brain working through the set backs and when it's done it's Just on to the next task

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"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
