This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I've finally come to realize that we are all the same
If there's nothing left to lose then there's everything to gain
All the paragraphs and pages you could write could not contain
It is curious and careless and it's flowing through my veins
The fear of growing old, and doing what you're told
You can't disguise a heart while it's breaking
You hide behind the smile you're faking
It's all about the the chance you're taking
Oh, and you know that you're making it all come alive
It all come alive
If your life is so damn comfortable then why do you complain?
A reflection in the alcohol you're pouring down the drain
Just because you paint a picture doesn't mean it fits the frame
This is my West Coast intervention and I'm getting on that plane
When all of your mistakes are keeping you awake
You can't disguise a heart while it's breaking
You hide behind the smile you're faking
It's all about the the chance you're taking
Oh, and you know that you're making
You can't disguise a heart while it's breaking
You hide behind the smile you're faking
It's all about the the chance you're taking
Oh, and you know that you're making it all come alive
It all come alive
The sun is setting and it's ending 'cause you're letting it go
Forgetting everything you already know
And it all goes to show that you're moving to slow
It will end up changing you, it will end up changing you
You can't disguise a heart while it's breaking
You hide behind the smile you're faking
It's all about the the chance you're taking
Oh, and you know that you're making
Life flies by so you have to embrace it
Forget the past 'cause you cannot erase it
And live the dream, and learn to chase it
And when you can almost taste it
It's all come alive
It's all come alive
It's all come alive
It's all come alive
If there's nothing left to lose then there's everything to gain
All the paragraphs and pages you could write could not contain
It is curious and careless and it's flowing through my veins
The fear of growing old, and doing what you're told
You can't disguise a heart while it's breaking
You hide behind the smile you're faking
It's all about the the chance you're taking
Oh, and you know that you're making it all come alive
It all come alive
If your life is so damn comfortable then why do you complain?
A reflection in the alcohol you're pouring down the drain
Just because you paint a picture doesn't mean it fits the frame
This is my West Coast intervention and I'm getting on that plane
When all of your mistakes are keeping you awake
You can't disguise a heart while it's breaking
You hide behind the smile you're faking
It's all about the the chance you're taking
Oh, and you know that you're making
You can't disguise a heart while it's breaking
You hide behind the smile you're faking
It's all about the the chance you're taking
Oh, and you know that you're making it all come alive
It all come alive
The sun is setting and it's ending 'cause you're letting it go
Forgetting everything you already know
And it all goes to show that you're moving to slow
It will end up changing you, it will end up changing you
You can't disguise a heart while it's breaking
You hide behind the smile you're faking
It's all about the the chance you're taking
Oh, and you know that you're making
Life flies by so you have to embrace it
Forget the past 'cause you cannot erase it
And live the dream, and learn to chase it
And when you can almost taste it
It's all come alive
It's all come alive
It's all come alive
It's all come alive

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think this song is about a transition of someone hiding who they are to someone shedding that outter layer in order to let people inside. Through out the song, the lyrics hint at this, particulary in the alcohol area: "If your life is so damn comfortable then why do you complain?A reflection in the alcohol you're pouring down the drain." Alcohol represents a numbness that this person has felt(a comfortable state of mind in you will), but in pouring it down the drain he/she is ridding of a normality to them. It's one of the many steps in letting feeling in, happy and sad. When the lyrics sing, "And it all goes to show that you're moving to slow..It will end up changing you," the lyrics can mean that trying to move forward and taking your time can't be done on the same clock. If you take your time in moving on a person can get caught up in the things that surround them; it's easier to get stuck( which is what has happened to the charecter in the song)
I guess what I am trying to prove is that this songs moral is to never let yourself become someone you arent because you are scared of what you could be. When in the wake, the realization of what has happened is much worse than just feeling the realness of everything when as it happens
