It's alright
It's worth it
These little pieces I can't seem to align
I need change
And I just don't feel I was born to walk in a line
I've been waiting to take my chances
I can't live for the lie
I'll keep chasing
'Cause I can feel something's gonna change
The faster that we go 'round
The tighter I'm holding
I know that we fall down
You and I are the same thing
Simple yet we complicate the design
It's working but I just feel there's a faster way to arrive
I can taste it
And I want answers
I can't live for the lie
I'll keep chasing
'Cause I can feel something's gonna change
The faster that we go 'round
The tighter I'm holding
I know that we fall down
Part of me is still silently hoping
Hold on, soon we'll be gone
You will follow me one day
In time, our time

Are you ever big enough?
Is it easier in time?
Turn the page and hurry up
Should I lead or stay in line?
Is it all for the reward?
Will it really be alright?
Please don't leave me behind Hold on, soon we'll be gone
You will follow me one day

In time, when we divide And you walk further than me
Somehow I feel that the one last piece will align
(I can feel) something's gonna change
(I can feel) something's gonna change

    Thanks for the effort anyway 60mph.. this is a great song! I feel it's about some type of momentous occurrence which has rocked the foundation of the singer's life.. and has left him with the choice to change and adapt, in an effort to ultimately succeed or risk forever "walking in line", and suffering a pointless existance.

    My Interpretation

    Beautiful song, I think this song is about the singer or the listeners life (how ever you want to interperate it) meeting someone new or someone they have been freinds with for a while and getting closer to them then finding reasons as to why they are to hold on to them, and subsequently taking a risk with them to be with them. It leaves him with a choice to be with this girl or to awalk away, but apart of him cant walk away, while she wants to be with him, but is unsure because of her past faults/experiences.

    You and I are the same thing Simple yet we complicate the design It's working but I just feel there's a faster way to arrive

    I think this part can be looked at that they are both the same type of people yet very complicated in who they are and why they are that way , but somehow they match together and there is that rush to rush things so they can ne complete with each other

    I can taste it And I want answers I can't live for the lie I'll keep chasing Cause I can feel something's gonna change

    • I guess this part can be looked at, that he/she can feel and taste the emotion but does not want to live a lie, so they keep chasing for the truth from eachother and hopefully things will change and it will work out.

    Hold on, soon we'll be gone You will follow me one day In time, when we divide And you walk further than me Somehow I feel that the one last piece will align

    • This part can be interpreted as they should both hold on and fight for what they have and in time it wil be worth it as it will all fall together and align, hence in time.

    This is just a my interpretation from my standpoint however the song can be looked at different angles, more away from relationships and more into maybe a event which changed his life and he is relating to an event.

    thanks

    Gaaah Kim's voice is so hard to interpret sometimes. I tried my best, though! I'm only confident about the last two paragraphs, I'm pretty sure they're close to 100% correct. As for the rest, help is much appreciated! Unless of course DLC decide to give us the lyrics on Project Dead Letter...

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.

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.
