I try so hard to see what’s ahead but there’s nothing there.
To be young today, what do we have to look forward to?
Staring into an unknown future that brings nothing but fear and hate.
You shouldn't have blindfolded us and killed your urge to create.

But with fuel and fire, mans' desire was to kill his own.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.
Wondering where it all came from, how it all begun.
I can hear it’s hungry fire calling us back home.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.

I will know myself when my head is in the noose.
I will feel myself when there’s nothing left to lose.
Can I kill myself with this feeling in my heart?
Did the love we give each other tear us apart?

“Black” said the raven and gazed upon the world getting smaller below.
What made us watch the skies and see a future home?
I think we're fooling ourselves, the definition of nowhere is up here.
Our eyes are open but we're just not there, as our minds drift away.

So I find myself staring straight into the sun.
Wondering where it all came from, how it all begun.
I can hear it’s hungry fire calling us back home.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.

Now if this sounds like I'm complaining, then surely by all means I am.
Although there’s nothing really wrong with me, I’m breathing and I wake up almost every day.
But they kept pushing me around and I wasn't man enough to turn a deaf ear to the fear.
I can take just a little bit more and I keep wearing the mask I once wore.
No one will ever know about the goblins.
While I wore my mask of death you used to look so wonderful.
But I can see the wear and the tear in you.

Nothing seems to change the way I feel.
I was one of those happy fools and now I almost can't stand to be around them.
Nothing seems to change the way I feel.
I have this sense of closure, it’s like I've seen all that this place has to offer.
Nothing seems to change the way I feel.
Come night, come day, nothing can take the pain away.
Nothing seems to change the way I feel.
I put my trust in you, I can't wait to meet you, I can't wait for you to change the way I feel, ´cause I know you will.

So I find myself staring straight into the sun.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.

I live in the cloud just like you.
We're strings of electricity that taste of iron dust.
Can I still recall your taste? I used to know, but that’s a long long long long time ago.

I try so hard to see what’s ahead but there’s nothing there.
To be young today, what do we have to look forward to?
Staring into an unknown future that brings nothing but fear and hate.
You shouldn't have blindfolded us and killed your urge to create.

But with fuel and fire, mans' desire was to kill his own.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.
Wondering where it all came from, how it all begun.
I can hear it’s hungry fire calling us back home.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.

So I find myself staring straight into the sun.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.
So I find myself staring straight into the sun.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

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.
