I've carried this song for way too long
I'm sick of singing these tragic songs

It's been days since I could open up my eyes
(Open up my eyes)
Every waking moment's
Another passing by
Passing by!

Well I'm standing on my own again
Lived in the pain, in the odds of this
Broken, battered, abused my friends
And 'cause I'm not weak
???

Did you ever share a word with me
I feel like living the dying dream
You are where you won't come with me
Pull the driver's stop with no one to see

Is this all I have to say
About anything anymore? (Anymore)
I'm just trying to keep myself on my feet
Keep living it, but you'll just mess up it

In one fist
I have to die for me
Of course you'd live like this
Live like this
This is my take back
This is my final run
I'm not this useful person
I'm not this tired lonely fuck

Every moment spent
Is just another of regret
And different words could be said
With our spirits lifting

When every night's spent
It couldn't make a dent
Another passerby

Is this all I have to say
About anything anymore? (Anymore)
I'm just trying to keep myself on my feet
Keep living it, but you'll just mess up it

Is this all I have? (We won't)
I'm holding myself up
I'm just trying to keep myself on my feet
Keep living it, but you'll just mess up it

I'll pull myself up
I've got wreckage in my life
I'll hold myself up
Under dark and ornery skies
I'll pull myself up
I love the wreckage in my life
I'll hold myself up
Under the dark and ornery skies

When every night's spent
(Myself up)
We couldn't make, we couldn't make a dent
(I'll hold myself up)

(I'll pull myself up)
When every night's spent
Another passerby

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"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
