She sat alone,
Weepin' on a stone,
Findin' it hard to breathe
As she stared,
Into the night
(Stared into the night)
Her heart to numb to feel the cold
Finding it hard to breathe
Face to face,
With the moonlight

Stone cold To her eyes to her lips
Feeling numb of anger and space
Just one leap,
And her life she'll forget
It's too bad that she feels it's the only way

Before I,
Say goodbye,
Throw it all away
I'll remember yesterday
To go,
Over my head
I still hold on to you

He sat all night,
Trying not to cry
His future heart seen
Should he stay,
With his family
(Stay with his family)
Their hearts to strong to let him go,
Makin' it to hard to leave
A better world
To chase a dream

Stone cold from his eyes to his lips
Feeling numb of anger and space
One wrong move and his life's thrown away
It's too bad that he feels it's the only way

Before I
Say goodbye
Throw it all away
I'll remember yesterday
To go,
Over my head
I still hold on to you

Sometimes it's hard to realize
What's the right thing to do
But I know you'll find a hand
To light your way through this dark place

Before I,
Say goodbye
Throw it all away
I'll remember yesterday
To go,
Over my head
I still hold on to you

Before I,
Say goodbye
Throw it all away
I'll remember yesterday
To go,
Over my head
I'll still hold on to you

    To me the meaning is kind of obvious, two separate situations both (likely teenagers) looking for a way out from life, i.e death The singer says that he knows that they'll find the right path which is not death but a way to go through life and make the best of it and find someone that cares and makes life better. Just my two cents!

    and I can't believe submersed have so few comments... I love their music!

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"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

When We Were Young
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.
