Apple of the Eye (Lay me down)

Something With Numbers

Something slowly, Tremble in vain
The window is open, it's pouring rain
Thunder and lightning, a Heated night
Sneaky intentions with certain delight

(Lessons)
Lessons to learn, fire tonight
(Reason)
Reason uncertain, we're leaving tonight
(Promise)
Promise refusal, the fashion degree
(Follow)
Follow desire, Wicked pain

Lay me down!
I'm listening
I've already seen a true romance, and it don't look like that

Tell me now,
I'm begging
I've already seen a true romance, and it don't look like that

(Hold it)
Does it distract you, pillar of flesh
(Feel the)
Silver almond, colour in death
(For years)
Foolish desire, needless pain
(Fire)
Fire with fire, Lightless day

Lay me down!
I'm listening
I've already seen a true romance, and it don't look like that

Tell me now,
I'm begging
I've already seen a true romance, and it don't look like that

[Repeat: x2]
Give me the light of opinion
Just give me a goal
Swallow your pride and stop thinking
And give me a goal

Lay me down!
I'm listening
I've already seen a true romance, and it don't look like that

Tell me now,
I'm begging
I've already seen a true romance, and it don't look like that

I've already seen a true romance and it don't look like that
I've already seen a true romance and it don't look like that

    It's a cool little tune. Anyone think it may be about a secret kinda relationship based on desire and lust? But maybe they can't reveal themselves for whatever reason. Or maybe its about a boring kinda relationship an he dreams of more desirable things from it. Eh, who knows.

    This is a good line: "Bottle desire liquid pain"

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
