Forget Me

BT

I'll give to you if you give to me
I always want to hear what's on your mind
And from the other side, can you still answer me
'Cause we all crave to be understood, yeah

And what I want to see
And what I need to hear
And what I want to feel
Is in those arms

And I'll sing to you if you sing to me
Because I long to hear what's on your heart, yeah

Forget me
I'm tired and wasted
Hopeless and faded
Listless and jaded

Forget me
I'm tired of waiting
I'm still underrated
I'm hopeful but jaded

But just remember
This is a beautiful mistake
I really need you
As our silence starts to break

It's stronger than fire
Greater than all the wars we wage
And I don't know what you want me to be
But I don't want to be perfect anymore

I'll share with you if you share with me
I always want to hear what's on your mind
And from the other side, can you still answer me?
Because I live to speak what's on my heart, yeah

Forget me
I'm tired and wasted
Listless and jaded
Hopeless and faded

Forget me
I'm tired of waiting
Still underrated
But I'm finally awake

Let us remember
Life's such a beautiful mistake
It's precious and fragile
Sometimes more than we can take

It's stronger than fire
Greater than all things men create
And I don't know what you want from me
But I don't want to be perfect anymore

Let's just remember
Life's such a beautiful mistake
It's precious and fragile
Sometimes more than we can take

It's stronger than fire
Greater than all the wars we wage
Letting go of fault and blame
'Cause I don't want to be perfect anymore

Yeah, I don't want to be perfect anymore
And you don't have to be perfect anymore

But your love, your love, your love, your love
Is perfect just the same

    Kaia!!! It's odd that this album is so effective that you almost feel proud when she comes on at the end of this song.

    I think the song is utterly amazing -- I haven't given much thought as to what the song is about -- just love the sheer emotion of it all.

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
