So you face it with a smile
There is no need to cry
For a trifle's more than this
Would you still recall my name?
And the month it all began?
Will you release me with a kiss?

Have I tried to draw the veil?
If I have, how could I fail?
Did I fear the consequence?
Dazed by careless words
Cozy in my mind

I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go

Now you shaped that liquid wax
Fit it out with crater cracks
Sweet devotion my delight
Oh, you're such a pretty one
And the naked thrills of flesh and skin
Would tease me through the night

Now I hate to leave you bare
If you need me I'll be there
Don't you ever let me down
Dazed by careless words
Cozy in my mind

I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go

And I touched your face
Narcotic mind from laced Mary-Jane
And I called your name
Like an addicted to cocaine
Calls for the stuff he'd rather blame
And I touched your face
Narcotic mind from laced Mary-Jane
And I called your name
My cocaine

I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go

I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go

I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go

I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go

    This is the one song that always makes me feel powerful, it's like when I hear this song I just know everything's gonna be alright ... it hasn't got anything to do with the text, it's just the melody, so strong and powerful!

    i think this song is obviously metaphorical. the person who wrote the lyrics chose to depict his failed (or failing) relationship by relating it to an addiction to narcotics. i definitely think the point of view of this song is from a person who has been dumped, since he talks bout being "released", and the tone is obviously bitter..."so you faced it with a smile...a trifle's more than this". i'm pretty sure those lines were meant to be sarcastic. i can definitely relate to this song, which makes me like it 9348934 times more. plus, the melody is addicting (no pun intended). :]

    This song is about his love to cocaine, but he plays with us hide and seek. And everybody think that is only metaphore, it isn't . This is about drugs

    It is about a broken relationship and he tries to let her go and don´t mind. He only mentions being on marijuana (Mary-Jane), cocaine is only a way to compare his addiction to her.

    I think it's about the intense relief and freedom that follows when a guy breaks up with a girlfriend that "choked" him. It's an extremely optimistic and uplifting song, in my opinion.

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"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

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.
