I'm feelin' happy
So highly evolved
My time's a riddle that'll never be solved
Dreamin' for somethin'
Reachin' for somethin'
Just waitin' for the sun to carry me in

If you feel low
You can buy love
From a pay phone
I don't feel low

My brother Bill
He work for the market
Life is an arrow now and he is the target
Dreamin' for somethin'
Reachin' for somethin'
Just waitin' for the sun to carry me in

If you feel low
You can buy blow
From a pay phone
I don't feel low

Highly Evolved
Highly Evolved
Highly Evolved
Highly Evolved

I don't feel low

Highly Evolved

    Seems like a song about drugs, to me. 'Highly Evolved' could mean being high, because drugs make people feel better then usual. The lyrics also have a lot of possible drug references, such as "Buying love from a payphone". That could mean calling a drug dealer and having the stuff delivered. The part about his brother Bill could also be used as a drug reference, what with the talk of the 'market' and such. I think Bill was a drug dealer, rather then his actual brother, but he got caught doing something he wasn't supposed to and now he;s being hunted by other drug lords or something. Just a theory ^^

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"

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.

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.

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.
