This life’s not inventing
The fighting in me has ceased
When it looks like I’m
Growing
Thin
And
Weak
Please don’t hesitate to cut the leash
It’s only a matter of time
Before I inherit my bloodlines evils
I don’t think it’s wise for me to get close to too many people
My bruises seem to be breeding
And my boys becoming a landing strip for flies
In the mirror watching blood dry
Trying to cut out the bags beneath my eyes
My skin is turning grey
I haven’t bathed in days
Please don’t encourage me
I’m enslaved I can’t be saved.
Enslaved I can’t be saved, Enslaved I cant be saved
Enslaved I can’t be saved, Enslaved I cant be saved
Enslaved I can’t be saved, Enslaved I cant be saved
Enslaved I can’t be saved, Enslaved I cant be saved
Enslaved I can’t be saved, Enslaved I cant be saved
Enslaved I can’t be saved, Enslaved I cant be saved
Enslaved I can’t be saved, Enslaved I can’t be saved

    This life is not inviting, the fighting in me has ceased.

    When it looks like I'm growing think and weak; please don't hesitate to cut the leash.

    It's only a matter of time before I inherit my bloodlines evils.

    I don't think it's wise for me to get close to too many people.

    My bruises seem to be breeding and my body is becoming a landing strip for flies.

    In the mirror watching blood dry, trying to cut out the bags beneath my eyes.

    My skin is turning grey, I haven't bathed in days.

    Please don't encourage me. I'm enslaved and I can't be saved.

    Enslaved, I can't be saved. Enslaved, I can't be saved. (x7)

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"

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
