He certainly did earn that reputation.
You say it's easier
Alone and undisturbed
You said yes and danced before
And got your feelings hurt
You say most days your good
It's not so bad this room
Watching the rain today
Even though it's clear and sunny
And you fight it so hard
How to tell if it's real or not
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearin' (fearin')
All the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance you're reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
You start to sway again
Feelin' good in your skin
You start to remember when
You didn't have to try
And then the glitter turns to dust
The color fades enough to make out pictures of a fire
That burns like love
You can close your eyes don't worry
I'll still be here in the morning
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearin' (fearin')
All the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance you're reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
And they won't break us
And they can't get through
'Cause I'm gonna be here
Standing in front of you
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearin' (fearin')
All the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance you're reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Alone and undisturbed
You said yes and danced before
And got your feelings hurt
You say most days your good
It's not so bad this room
Watching the rain today
Even though it's clear and sunny
And you fight it so hard
How to tell if it's real or not
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearin' (fearin')
All the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance you're reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
You start to sway again
Feelin' good in your skin
You start to remember when
You didn't have to try
And then the glitter turns to dust
The color fades enough to make out pictures of a fire
That burns like love
You can close your eyes don't worry
I'll still be here in the morning
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')

All the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance you're reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
And they won't break us
And they can't get through
'Cause I'm gonna be here
Standing in front of you

Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you

Take a chance you're reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you

The Night We Met

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"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[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.

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.
This power ballad finds Kelly encouraging the wounded man that she is attracted to, to take a chance on love. The singer penned the song with her guitarist, Aben Eubanks. "I love writing and singing songs about real life situations - especially about relationships," she told Reuters. "Everyone wants to feel like they're not alone in a thought. That's the best feeling I get, when I hear a song and it's like 'you just nailed me.' That's the coolest thing in the world, to write something that can be relatable to other human beings."
