My Generation

Limp Bizkit

If only we could fly
Limp Bizkit style
John Otto, take 'em to the Matthews Bridge
Can you feel it?

My g-g-generation
Get up, my g-g-generation
(Are you ready?) Are you ready?
Do you know where you are?

Welcome to the jungle punk, take a look around
It's Limp Bizkit, fuckin' up your town
We downloaded the Shockwave
For all the ladies in the cave to get your groove on

And maybe I'm the one who flew over
The cuckoo's nest, but guess who's next? (Who?)
Generation X (X), generation Strange (Strange)
Sun don't even shine through our window pane (through our window pane)

So go ahead and talk shit
Talk shit about me
And go ahead and talk shit
About my g-g-generation

'Cause we don't, don't give a fuck, and
We won't ever give a fuck until you
You give a fuck about me
And my generation

Hey kid, take my advice
You don't want to step into a big pile of shit (shh)
Captain's drunk, your world is Titanic
Floating on the funk, so get your groove on

And maybe I am just a little fucked up
Life's just a little fucked up
Generation X (X), generation Strange (Strange)
Sun don't even shine through our window pane (window pane)

So go ahead and talk shit
Talk shit about me
And go ahead and talk shit
About my g-g-generation

'Cause we don't, don't give a fuck, and
We won't ever give a fuck until you
You give a fuck about me
And my generation

We don't, don't give a fuck, and
We won't ever give a fuck until you
You give a fuck about me
And my generation

Who gets the blame? (Who gets the blame?)
You get the blame and I get the blame
Who gets the blame? (Who gets the blame?)
You get the blame and I get the blame

But do you think we can fly? (Away, away)
Do you think we can fly? (Away)
Do you think we can fly?
Well I do, I do, fuck

DJ Lethal Bring it on

Oh yeah, come on

So go ahead and talk shit
Talk shit about me
And go ahead and talk shit
About my g-g-generation

'Cause we don't, don't give a fuck, and
We won't ever give a fuck until you
You give a fuck about me
And my generation

We don't, don't give a fuck, and
We won't ever give a fuck until you
You give a fuck about me
And my generation

Oh yeah

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
