I don't care what you do
I'm getting out
No, nothing ever shames me
Don't want a thing from you
I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry

I, I, I'm getting out
No, nothing ever shames me
I, I, I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry

I should've thought things through
I'm holding out
But not getting an answer
I want to do right by you
I'm finding out
Cheating gets it faster

I, I, I'm holding out
Not getting an answer
I, I, I'm finding out that
Cheating gets it faster
I, I, I'm holding out
But not getting an answer
I, I, I'm finding out
Cheating gets it faster

I don't care what you do
I'm getting out
No nothing ever shames me
Don't want to thing from you
I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry

I should've thought things through
Yeah, I'm holding out
Not getting an answer
I want to do right by you
I'm finding out that
Cheating gets it faster

I, I, I'm getting out
No nothing ever shames me
I, I, I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry
I, I, I'm holding out
Not getting an answer
I, I, I'm finding out
Cheating gets it faster

    lots of good ideas here. for me what it meant when i first heard it (and it was very relevant to me and my soon to be girlfriend at the time), it meant that the guy is kind of trying to break up with his girlfriend - or asking to take things to the "next level" - she's being unresponsive, and he gets frustrated. so to end the relationship he's tried a verbal approach - "i wanna do right by you" - and seems to get nowhere, and can't bring himself to break up with her. so he figures that in order to get the breakup, he cheats. hence, cheating gets the breakup faster. but that's just what my interpretation has always been, and i like it, because it made sense for me when i first heard it, and it still does when i look back those 3-4 years ago when i broke up with my psycho girlfriend for a much better girl, who also had just ended a long-term relationship after a long time of trying

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"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
