Chorus: · It was love - What made Him bleed and cling to a tree · It was love - Unlike this world has ever seen before · It was love - What made Him bleed and cling to a tree · It was love - And get nailed to the form of a lower case "t" · · Verse 1: To all my listeners you’re on my "got to get with you list" · Scripture gives the run down, come now you’ve got to picture this · The evolutionist would call this ridiculous · Story of a love a true love that got promiscuous · The true lover was a King they called Elohim · Dig it, He was exquisite, always existed · For designer clothes He sported shekinah robes · The kind that glows, baggy, you know the kind that flows · He was awesome majestic, flawless, perfect with · All this you might ask what could be next · His outcry zoomed throughout the counsel of the Triune · Crank the volume, when God speaks it’s a fly tune · "Let Us make man in Our likeness and Our image" · He sparked it, even before He started He was finished · And since it’s a fact that every kid needs a nursery · Before He made man He made a universe---a world to be · A play pen, you know a place to chill, one to play in · Fields to lay in, earth to rule, one to stay in · He took dust in His hands made a man · Breathed life into his veins, said, "Adam is your name" · It was all fun and games no pain and no strain · He named all the animals, they were pre-tamed · Man and his God, chillin’ like jello with · Nothing to undermine the divine fellowship. · · | Repeat Chorus | · · Verse 2: Curtain please, scene two, we see the surgery · Adam de-ribbed , now Eve lives, we see with certainty · God wanted the earth to be full so earth can see · God and glory go together like thermometers and mercury · Intertwined, Elohim was man’s date, · But it’s a thin line between love and hate · And just like a person will be weary till rested · I guess love will always be theory till tested, · So check it, God put this tree off limits · He can do that, the earth is the Lord’s and all that’s in it · He meant it, He told Adam the tree about this one tree · He said if you eat the fruit then you’re saying you don’t want me · In other words you’re saying, "Bye", I wouldn’t lie · Cause the day you eat from this tree you’re surely gonna die · Why in God’s name couldn’t Adam maintain · No blame, if it was us we would have probably done the same thing · Satan tricked Eve, Eve gave to Adam, · Sin had them, death grabbed them, and on went the pattern · The earth got cursed on the day they dissed Jehovah · He said, "I told ya, now our relationship is over!" · · | Repeat Chorus | · · Verse 3: It really gets to me, it really is a mystery · Why with foresight God even let us ruin history · But the love story gets deeper · Holiness make Him hide from sin but His love for men made Him a seeker · My heart is getting weaker, it’s burnin’ me bad · I earnestly ask why in eternity past · Did the Godhead agree that they would let man leave · Knowing the penalty---that they’d have to let man bleed · But this is just a case of the holiest · Questioning the infinite wisdom and the justice of the lowliest · God’s omnipotent and sovereign---"Yes I know He is" · And He’s gracious and merciful---"The Bible told me this" · Took a human frame, Jesus was His Human name · Doom to hang on a cross cause we’re His lost love · Resurrected just to get with you if you get your cue · From Scripture you can see He clearly preplanned the switch-a-roo · He’d always planned to become a man, die as a substitute lamb · Start a new fam of humans who can · Take the Son’s hand in reply to · His proposal, "Will you marry Me?"---we say, "I do!" · · · Ending Chorus · · Love - made Him bleed and cling to a tree · It was love - unlike this word has ever seen before · It was love - that made Him bleed and cling to a tree · Nailed just for you and nailed just for me.

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."

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.
