I was your fire once
You thought of me as your one true love
I got so mad and said things that later I would
Regret and regret and regret
Holding onto my chest and pounding 'til it turns purple
A breaking bow and the sound of a scream muffled by pillows

So don't so long and don't farewell
Hear me out now, I've just begun to say

Parker, do you remember
How I carried your heart
And I carried it far?
And I know that there's no one to blame
It's a sure given shame
Of my own that you don't remember

Sworn off blue lips, kiss them warm
With love comes deep dark red and paper cuts
From letters I re-write explaining how to fall in love
Well, pictures inspire and songs never tire
And there's always clouds to float upon
Saving me best for last
Down for keeps up for grabs
We'll play stop and go
But it feels just like freeze tag

So I'll see you right, applaud and encore
I'll be braver, just you wait here 'til I say

Parker, do you remember
How I carried your heart
And I carried it far?
And I know that there's no one to blame
It's a sure given shame of my own

I'm naked once so don't think twice
Hold on, it's hard enough to bite my shy
Hold on, hold on, hold tight

Parker
do you remember
how i carried your heart
and i carried it far
Parker, do you remember
How I carried your heart
And I carried it far?
And I know that there's no one to blame
It's a sure given shame of my own, of my own, of my own
It's a sure shame of my own
That you don't, that you won't remember

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
