It's gonna bite today
(Right)
To open a can of pain
(Wrong)
Sun scorched and blistering
(Run)
Do you know that it's all
(Gone)

Kiss my eyes shut to bash it in
It's just another payment
To how we live, how we dream, how we breed
Low rent up in the basement

The sky conforms to the surface
What's the purpose, everything is worthless
I feel a crack in the structure
It's time bleed through suffer

And I fall into myself
(And I fall myself, I fall)
I fall, I fall, I fall

Life keeps on pushing me under
(I am)
Ripping my whole world asunder
(I can)
Death is what keeps me in motion
(Will I)
Drown in this pain like an ocean

I'm falling down again
(Now)
Into the ground again
(Low)

Don't tell me what to do when I take you
And I'm gonna make you
You had in a moment what the rest of us
Need to believe isn't hopeless

Take a look at the scoreboard it's 1 nothing them
So I guess you need move more
We'll make a crack in the sun
If it feeds you the answer

And I fall into myself
(And I fall myself, I fall)
I fall, I fall, I fall

Life keeps on pushing me under
(I am)
Ripping my whole world asunder
(I can)
Death is what keeps me in motion
(Will I)
Drown in this pain like an ocean

All in my head but the waiting is over
Your thoughts can't tread into my disclosure
I'm just a face, nameless and silent
I'm such a waste that's why

And I can't erase I'm feeling all this
And I cannot frame and hide behind this

(Pain)
I did it one more time for you
And now I'm falling down again
(Pain)
I did it one more time for you
And now I'm falling down

(Pain)
I did it one more time for you
And now I'm falling down again
(Pain)
I did it one more time for you
And now I'm falling down again

Life keeps on pushing me under
[Incomprehensible]
Ripping my whole world asunder
[Incomprehensible]
Death is what keeps me in motion
[Incomprehensible]
Drown in this pain like an ocean, kill

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.

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.
