I lost my sight when I got stun
I never bleeded so
Do I slide into vice
Till I'm gone?

You're like a dive into the wild
Like poems
Holding me as gentle
As a new born child at night

Then sorrow breaks
The silent spell
My mind is clearing up
And takes me back
Into my shell
Back to hell

I hope you
Won't see me through
Like I do
I can't get
You out of my mind
I see still I'm blind
I hope you
Won't see me through
Like I do
I can't get
Me out of this hug
Just be my new drug

    This song is about heroin.

    "I lost my sight when I got stung" means that he lost sight of himself, his ideals, and his aspirations when he injected heroin, or was "stung" by a syringe as he puts it.

    Also, during "Do I slide into vice // Till I'm gone?" you can hear a voice in the background. The voice repeats this line three times, "It's heroin. It's heroin. It's heroin." The last instance of the repetition is the easiest to hear.

    The next verse explains the feeling of heroin.

    The third verse explains coming down off of heroin, going into withdrawals, and 'being in hell'.

    "I can't get you out of my mind, I see still I'm blind." He's saying that now that's he's done heroin he can't stop thinking about it now. His aspirations and ideals are still being compromised, and he's 'blind' because of heroin.

    "I can't get me out of this hug." I believe this is a reference to addiction to heroin, which is usually called having a 'gorilla on your back' (a play on monkey on your back since this addiction is so overwhelming.)

    I screwed up on part of that last submission. The voice in the background is a countdown. I was just hearing things.

    Nonetheless my opinion on the song stands. It sounds almost like the song is about a woman, but if you read closely it's definitely heroin. Never heard a more poetic and graceful song about heroin.

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"

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
