I'm not ready for this
Though, I thought I would be
I can't see the future
Though, I thought I could see
I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
Oh, I still do
Need some time to find myself
I wanna live within'
Can I go my own way?
Can I pray my own way?
I don't want to leave you
Oh, I need you
Am I ready for this?
Did I think I would be?
Can I see the future?
No, I can't see
I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
Oh, I still do
Ah-ha-ha-ha
La-la-da-da-da
Ah-ha-ha-ha
I still do
Ah-ha-ha-ha
La-la-da-da-da
Ah-ha-ha-ha
I still do

    I think she had a long steady relationship that was getting boring, so she started going out with someone else without any expectations, but she go too involved. “I’m not ready for this Though I thought I would be” Then, she gets mixed feelings and she want to return to the long “safe” relationship, because she doesn’t see a future with the new affair (or is scared about feeling so much). “I can’t see the future Though I thought I could see.” The only way to give a new try to the old relationship is leaving the new guy. “”I don’t want to leave you Even though I have to.” Then even more mixed feelings. Old one? New one? Should/can I be by myself? “I don’t want to love you.” [so she can go back and be okay with the old guy] “Oh I still do” [she wants to be with the new guy, but doesn’t have the balls to leave the old relationship and start a new one with this guy, even though she feels a lot more for the new one] “Need some time to find myself” [third option and probably the best one] So I think this song is about mixed feelings and a confused girl that wants to have the best from both worlds.

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.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
