First you're on a roll and then you loose control
Then you can't decide you think you lost your mind
When you wanna get it but now it is too late
Nothing you can say your anger turns to hate
Your body gets excited preparing for the dance
No time to be afraid nothing is left to chance
Can't avoid the feeling your world's about to end
The secret is revealed one day you'll wake up dead
You wanna live
You'll never make it
Immortal state of mind but we're the dying kind
Extinguishing the breed throughout all history
Never can surrender you can't give up the game
Never won the fight you best prepare to die
When you hear those voices calling you to the grave
Stop wasting all your days start living right away
Or soon you will regret it your chances have all gone
One message left to send your life will soon end
You will be sorry when it's all gone
You've lost your chance to make some history
You've lost the game and now you'll see there's no escape mortality
You think you have a future but you're wrong
You are wrong

    This song confuses me. I think they made it as a joke because all their songs are about livign your lfie to the fullest, and now their saying "you'll never make it."

    nex is right though, except the chorus contradicts everything

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"

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.
