Hey you!
I got something you need
The secret's gonna set you free
And everything you think you know it ain't nothing
The sacred truth from the holy light
The daybreak from the darkest night
When all the wandering souls are Looking for something

I'll say it real slow
(For God's sake now you gotta believe)
What you gotta know
(The wisdom's gonna set you free)
The dawn's early light
(God son the Holy light)
Is starting to show
(Your beacon through the darkest night)
We've all been deceived
(Not now but someday you'll see)
You better believe
(What it is to believe)
But we'll never know

The star, cross and the crescent sign
The reason that we pray at night
When you lose you nerve
You know that you gotta serve someone
A prophet or a sacred cow
You know it doesn't matter now
Pick one of the above, it's better than bowing to no one

I'll say it real slow
(For God's sake now you gotta believe)
What you gotta know
(The wisdom's gonna set you free)
The dawn's early light
(God son the Holy light)
Is starting to show
(Your beacon through the darkest night)
We've all been deceived
(Not now but someday you'll see)
You better believe
(What it is to believe)
But we'll never know

'Cause in the end you'll see it's not really what you believe
The only one sure thing is that life's filled with uncertainty
And then the truth could be that life's just one big joke
But We'll never know

We'll never know

    I love this song, it's saying that no one really knows what the truth is and that religions are like easy way outs, even though they are lies. My favorite line is "you know that you gotta serve someone a prophet or a sacred cow you know it doesn't matter now pick one of the above it's better than bowin' to no one"

    Indirectly refers to their song "Salvation" off of "From the Ashes," since that song also discusses the ideas of seeing and believing (plus "reason"). Also, the first couplet reminds me of their song "The Secret" off of their selftitled CD.

    I think that this song leaves possibilities open, it is not sure of religion or anti-religion. If life isn't one big joke, many people could be in trouble, especially if it does matter then what religion they are in the end (whereas in life, "you KNOW it doesn't matter now;" in the afterlife, "we'll never know"). I wonder why they switch from "YOU know" to "WE'LL never know."

    This song also brings to mind Pascal's Wager, a simple philosophical argument from mathematician Blaise Pascal (we all encountered him in high school math), which deals with the idea that we'll never know. However, since we don't know, he maintains that belief in God is the most logical way to self-preserve, since if one lives a godly life, but it turns out there is no god, he will have lived a good life and it won't matter. Whereas if someone rejects God and lives a life without God, but it turns out that He does exist, then that person will be damned forever.

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"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
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.
