Say goodbye
Lose your friends
Make them go
Don't need them around

Cause it's time
Lose your friends
Make them go
Was never supposed to be like this

They were too weak too prone to break
They're needs too deep their skin too thin
By now you took what was to take
Tear it apart and start again

So go on
If this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to

You've wasted
Every moment
Of your Saturdays
And your Sunday
You're wasted from the boredom
Was never supposed to be like this

Like your father said
Just do what was done unto you
Always in your father's steps
You'll do what was done unto you
It won't be hard to start again

So go on
If this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to

And you're gone now
( You've know this would come and you've left me alone )
And did it make you happier?
( You're lost and your gone. Don't take it so seriously )
Was it that hard?
( Go on and get going. I'm fine on my own )
Did what you had to
( It got you this far. Finally got it figured out )

One more inch
You son of a bitch
Been a waste of my time
Always
Now you're half awake
You bend till you break
And make the same mistakes
Always

So go on if this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to

And you're gone now
( You've know this would come and you've left me alone )
And did it make you happier?
( You're lost and your gone. Don't take it so seriously )
Was it that hard?
( Go on and get going. I'm fine on my own )
Did what you had to
( It got you this far. Finally got it figured out )

    Yeah, I know how this feels.

    "You're lost and you're gone Don't take it so seriously"

    That's the part that always gets to me. It's almost like it's sarcastic; their friend that's left doesn't seem to care. It's exactly how I feel about one of my "friends". She just distanced herself from me and it doesn't appear to be hurting her at all, while I kind of died on the inside.

    Wow, cheesy much? Anyway, that's my input for now.

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”

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.

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.
