A Box Full of Sharp Objects

The Used

it's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
we've fallen in love..
we fall in love..
it was the best idea i ever had.

today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing

today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing

today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing

do you want a song of glory?
well i'm fucking screaming at you

it's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
we've fallen in love..
we fall in love..
it was the best idea i ever had.

today i fell, it felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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/

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.
