No one knows what goes on
Inside of your head
Everything seems to be okay
You're the same
As you've always been
If I'd listened
Would you have talked to me?

I don't want to let you down
But I can't even pick up myself
I only wanted to make you proud
But I don't think I can do this anymore

When did this crowded room
Get so lonely?
Everyone keeps looking at me
I'm tired
Of faking my life
I'm so tired
I don't want to feel this way

I don't want to let you down
But I can't even pick up myself
I only wanted to make you proud
But I don't think I can do this anymore

You mean so much more

I don't want to let you down
But I can't even pick up myself
I only wanted to make you proud
But I don't think I can do this anymore

    The meaning of this song is self explanatory. This is a track where Sonny gets to show us some more of his wannabe-Deftones style singing. The chorus is miserable sounding.

    I can't think of anything good about this track except for the breakdown. But it's not enough to save the rest of the song.

    It's kindof depressing. I still like it, just not my favorite.

    for me this song is in the perspective of a person that is talkin to God about wantin to live their life right and at peace with Him but keeps falling away from their relationship with God by not listening and trying to fake the Christian life. the person is expressing how much he hates the way he feels and how he wants to make God proud of him but almost feels he cant live up to it almost to the point of giving up

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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"

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

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.
