It's like the day has turned to rust
Like every dream's been sealed shut
Like every door is closed before we've gotten out
As bullets rip the air in two from house to house

We are all that we are, so terribly sorry
We are all that we are, so terribly sorry
The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides, to pull on ours

The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides, to pull on ours

I see the crowds they're giving way
For some, they're better off that day
The bombs blew off the shells
Their glowing red at burst
The less there is to feel each night upon the Earth

We are all that we are, so terribly sorry
We are all that we are, so terribly sorry
The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides, to pull on ours

The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides, to pull on ours

The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides, to pull on ours

The moon you've felt, it has no side
That's dark like hell, or safe from light
Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides, to pull on ours

    The perception of the Moon by Humans has always been that there is a dark side of the moon. The side that never exposes itself for the earth to see. The fact is, there is no "Dark Side" of the Moon. Atleast, no different than Earth at Night.

    The "Moon" represents the unknown people, cultures, or society's that are aparently alien to us. Seen from a distance, but actually closely related to what makes us what we are. The Unknown is judged and we all feel we're right because the "Moon" cannot be here to defend itself or correct our misconceptions. Alot like the way Non-Muslim's perceive Islam in the Middle East (as an example). ...All we see is a single side of the "Moon", but there's more to the Moon than just that side and it's not what we think it is. The moon is our Earth's brother. The Moon and Earth are in a sense, One and the Same, and could not exist without eachother. Only Time and Space has made them seem separate

    "The moon you felt (felt = perception). It has no side that's dark like hell or safe from light

    • The side you don't see/know DOES get light from the Sun JUST LIKE OUR PLANET.. Just like Us)

    "Just blown apart by wind from stars"

    • The Moon is what it is for a reason. It has gone through more than we realize. Though our lives are beautiful with green grass, blue skys, life; the Moon suffered through something it could not survive... Blown Apart by the radiation of our Sun.

    "with white dust tides to pull on [Ours]"

    • Though seemingly dead, the Moon is a bringer of life alot like the Sun. It's gravitational pull lifts and stirs our water into tides that created a situation that mixed all forms of molecules and elements to create what we know as life. Ina way, the Moon is a parent of Earth's life (or like the Oldest Brother that helped raise the family). Working together with the Sun, Earth and the Universe. The "Moon" deserves love and respect just as much as Mother Earth.

    The Moon is our Brother

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"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

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.
