Hey Now

Tantric

Feel me
Why are you hiding
Why are you siding
What happened to my friend

I see your
Back now is turned to
Me as I ask you
'cause I don't understand
I don't understand
I don't understand

Hey now
Never have I wanted to try
Look into my face and you lie
Tell me why I'm willing to
Die for this again
Hey now
Thinking that the worst is behind
Turn around but only to find
Tell me why I'm ready to
Die for this again

Hey now
I'll bare this for you
So they adore you
And get your paper badge

Hear me
But you don't listen
Or you don't want to
'cause you're just saving yourself
Just saving yourâ?¦

Hey now
Never have I wanted to try
Look into my face and you lie
Tell me why I'm willing to
Die for this again
Hey now
Thinking that the worst is behind
Turn around but only to find
Tell me why I'm ready to
Die for this again

Why don't you make up your mind
Why don't you make up your mind
Who do you want me to be
Who do you want me to be
I can't believe what you said
I can't believe what you said
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me

I have been let down
Lies that have affected me

Hey now
Never have I wanted to try
Look into my face and you lie
Tell me why I'm willing to
Die for this again
Hey now
Thinking that the worst is behind
Turn around but only to find
Tell me why I'm ready to
Die for this again

Hey now
Never have I wanted to try
Look into my face and you lie
Tell me why I'm willing to
Die for this again
Hey now
Thinking that the worst is behind
Turn around but only to find
Tell me why I'm willing to
Die for this again

    i think its about someone whos fed up with some other person lying to them and decieving them all the time, so much that they're "willing to die for this again".

    I think it's about mind games. Messing with his head and he actually likes it but is confused by it.

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift
I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
