Nobody's gonna wanna get next to me
'Cause they know
(They know)
I take what's mine and won't let it go
Doesn't matter how you approach the scene
Just hope
(Just hope)
You're everything and more when you hit the door

I dare you to challenge me
You'll be begging for mercy, please
Just watch; I'll give you something to follow
'Cause I've been waiting so patiently
To let the fire come out of me
I'm what you're up against
Just letting you know

I keep giving you the fire
I'mma heat it up
Under my control
Here's the night that you've been waiting on
Fire, I'mma light it up
Gotta make it hot
The stage is mine
Let's set it off

The king is knowing
No one can take his crown
I'm so brave
(So brave)
They can't cool me off when I hit the stage
Burnin' hot, the spotlight just spelled my name
I feel famous
(Famous)
The crowd cheers me on
They can't get enough

I dare you to challenge me
You'll be begging for mercy, please
Just watch; I'll give you something to follow
'Cause I've been waiting so patiently
To let the fire come out of me
I'm what you're up against
Just letting you know

I keep giving you the fire
I'mma heat it up
Under my control
Here's the night that you've been waiting on
Fire, I'mma light it up
Gotta make it hot
The stage is mine

I keep giving you the fire
I'm gonna heat it up
Under my control
Here's the night that you've been waiting on
Fire, I'mma light it up
Gotta make it hot
The stage is mine
Let's set it off

I keep giving you the fire
I'mma heat it up
Under my control
Here's the night that you've been waiting on
Fire, I'mma light it up
Gotta make it hot
The stage is mine

I keep giving you the fire
I'mma heat it up
Under my control
Here's the night that you've been waiting on
Fire, I'mma light it up
Gotta make it hot
The stage is mine
Let's set it off
Fire

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"

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
