Every time you think of me like your godamn trophy
It just pushes me away
Pushes me

I never said I’d make you mine
Why do you insist on pushing all the time
I know it’s not my vivid imagination
Telling you lies
Telling you lies

It’s funny how you found the time
To expose yourself and be another one of these
Psychos all around me
Psychos all around me
Like to say my head’s not right
My head’s not right

Medicated aren’t we all
Turning into you
Got me crazed with what you do
Inside my head there’s a vision of you
And nothing’s changing
Nothing’s changing
I want to run away
And you say it’s alright
I want to run away

Walk away
Just go
I think you’re pushing, pushing me
To seek and discover to notice you’re different than all the rest
Keeps telling me to ask why

Would it really hurt you to leave me alone sometimes
To seek and discover your genius uncovered
Your pain
Nothing’s changing
Nothing’s changing

Medicated aren’t we all
Turn me into you
Got me crazed with what you do
Inside my head there’s a vision of you
And nothing’s changing
Nothing’s changing
I want to run away
And you say it’s alright

I want to run away
Pushing me away
Pushing me away
Pushing me away
Pushing me, pushing me
Pushing me

Medicated aren’t we all
Turning into you
Got me crazed with what you do
Inside my head there’s a vision of you
And nothing’s changing

Medicate it are we’re all
Turn me into you
Got me crazed with what you do
You do
Inside my head there’s a vision of you
And nothing’s changing

Nothing’s changing
Nothing’s changing

Maybe it’s not me
It’s all inside my head
Maybe it’s not me
It’s all inside my head
And nothing’s changing
It’s all inside my head
And nothing’s changing
It’s all inside my head

    I agree with the being led on part.

    But...then theres where he repeats...being pushed away. He's being pulled in whenever the girl wants him...but then being pushed away. I think he's messed up, but he's been pulled in too far where he can't leave...but at the same time...he wants to. Then...he talks about how he wants her to leave him alone...because he doesn't want history to repeat, but theres something about her that makes him come back. And since its been going on many times...he is catching onto her habits and doing the same thing.

    I don't know...just my thoughts. Its a kickass song!

    Sounds like...being led on. It seems so real that this person is into you but it's all your imagintation.

    He doesn't want to like her but she's stuck in his head and he's freaking out with what I imagine is a raging boner.

    'Raging boner'? I think there's way more too it than that, what with the "nothing changing".

    And that would mean the other person wants to appear as though they are trying to cope with themselves & their problems, but the person won't let himself be convinced

    "Medicated aren't we all"--We've all got our addictions, and the other person is his (and hers(?) is...?). Looks like he's going through withdrawals because...

    I think it's someone he hardly ever gets to see and only hears about or talks but still cares for, because why would you need to be concerned with visions of someone when they are constantly in plain view? I guess it could be about a long-distance relationship (which have a good chance of not working out)...

    Also the last 'medicated' verse, "medicated are we're all" appears that way in the booklet IIRC. Screwy, I know, lol.

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"

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
