And you're tired of your Mum
And you're tired of your Dad
Got you jumping through hoops
Got you shaving your legs
Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass over you

And you're tired of your face
And you're tired of your nose
Got you jumping through hoops
Got you shaving your legs
Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass through you

And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

There will be no hesitation
There will be no confrontation
There will be no indication
There will be no cause
There will be no exultation
There will be no justification
There will be no way at all

And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

Luno
Come back to me the the way you were
The way you were when we were young
I'm trying to tell you everything
I'm trying to tell you everything

I can heal the blind
I can cure the sick
I can say the right things
I can say the right things
Where d'you get so cruel
Where do you go
'cause you're never here

And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

    I'm not sure it's specifically about Violence at home, although I agree it is a feature of the song. I think it's a bit about a Teenage rebellion

    "And you're tired of your Mum And you're tired of your Dad Got you jumping through hoops Got you shaving your legs Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass over you"

    Pretty obvious, just sick and tired of his/her parents, (probably a girl given Luno is perhaps her name and she's shaving her legs)

    "And you're tired of your face And you're tired of your nose"

    Standard teenage anxieties of hating the way you look, or perhaps deeper than that, her face or nose remind her of her parents.

    "And your nose is bleeding You've been lying to me"

    Suggests two things to me: 1. That she's gone out to show or a bar or something and got in a fight and when she comes in her parents confront her about where she's been, she tells them a lie and they point out that her nose is bleeding OR 2. In interegating her they get to vigourous and (the dad presumably) hits her.

    "There will be no hesitation There will be no confrontation There will be no indication There will be no cause There will be no exultation There will be no justification There will be no way at all"

    Perhaps more about the girl, she just does what she wants, she won't even argue with her parents about letting her do it, she just does it.

    "Luno Come back to me the the way you were The way you were when we were young I'm trying to tell you everything"

    Luno doesn't think her parents understand her and they're saying the standard 'What happened to you?' 'You used to be so different when you were young' 'We're trying to help you, why won't you tell us what's wrong'

    "I can heal the blind I can cure the sick I can say the right things I can say the right things Where d'you get so cruel Where do you go Cos you're never here" Perhaps again, anxiety of the parents, They want to help her, but she won't tell them what the problem and "Heal the Blind" and "Cure the sick" is a deliberate Hyperbole of how her parents will do anything to help her, but to Luno, they might as well be saying they can heal the blind, as she doesn't think they can help

    And your nose is bleeding You deserve it You've been lying to me

    The most clear indication that one of them has hit her in anger, What d'ya reckon? Also, check out the Death from Above 1979 cover of this song, it's great myspace.com/deathfromabove1979

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"

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

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
