I don't mean to be bitter
But I'll hurt if you call
Telling me you landed on your feet, after all
Now your bedroom eyes are looking tired
My baby has your sparkle died
You smile
But all the while your heart
Hardens up
With a cry

You're good at living out a lie
You know you're giving out a lie
You're always living out a lie
You know you're giving out a lie

I kissed your mind
While on the run
Once more I've been too near the sun
You filled the role
And love was hot
I watch the tv
Weeping now
It numbs my passions
Sleeping now
Some opera shallow drama
Fills up my life
And I ask myself why

I'm good at living out a lie
You know I'm giving out a lie
I'm always living out a lie
You know I'm giving out a lie

The poison barely passed our lips
The words are threads
The truth that never should be said
Friends can go between
Each pouring fuel upon the fire
The spider weaves her web
Of honesty and lies
But I need the pain
To feel alive
A twisted reason
To survive
I'll say I hate you
And with all of my heart
I will try

Oh god
Its just another lie
Its just another lie
Its just another lie
Its just another lie


It wasn't always cruel like this
Our dreams were chiffon and cerise
But promises made off our heads
Were just like pissing in the wind

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"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
