This god damn car is broken down again looks like I'm sleepin' in the back and I'll be dreamin' of a better place
Only to call you in the morning with the same excuse again
By the side of the freeway watchin' all the cars go by
I think tomorrow will be the day I get my shit together and give up this crying game
I've been here before I know I'll be here again
I don't know why but it don't feel the same

for one moment I can see clearly
The weight of the world don't seem so bad
Then I find myself here right back where I started from again

indecisions's no solution the days that lay ahead so I begin to scramble in my head for the answers
Only to find myself shutdown by the same mistakes again
Lookin over my shoulder for the things that pass me by
I know tomorrow will be the same I'll find a new excuse to make the same mistakes again
I've been here before I know I'll be here again
So many wasted hours so many wasted intentions

chorus.

I beat myself got to survive
I've got more will now to stay alive
If I could only find the time
If I could only find a reason
If I could only run this last leg first time around
I wouldn't be stuck in another mess
In another realm with the same old stress

chorus.

    wow, they just described my life to a fucking T. this band = amazing.

    its basically about just when you think every thing is gonna be alright, life decides it wants to be funny and fuck you over and create some kind of bullshit problem to screw everything up...but for some reason you keep moving on.

    I agree, but I also get the sense that the singer is stuck in a rut and feels like he's trying run on ice (i.e. not getting anywhere).

    Oh yeah, and something I really love is that he's not exactly whining in his lament, cause he blames himself as much as he blames the circumstances to his situation.

    It's about having a crappy life and trying to get your shit together. And it is evident "the weight of the world won't seem so bad" that once you get things back on track, life doesn't suck that much

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
