He certainly did earn that reputation.
We woke up late, said goodbye
Now I'm standing outside on the street
I walk through the city
I'm laughing, bouquets staring down at my feet
And I look up and this sky might fall
Open up and pull me in
I feel like an angel who's fallen
I just got to have this first taste of original sin
Damn, can you feel it?
Damn, I can't believe it
Damn, you got me feelin' good
Damn, do you dig it?
That's the way you do it
Damn, you know, you give it good
Two minutes later
I'm counting the seconds and hours to go
I'm working a sweat out of bed
Just the thought of you is making me glow
I'm goin' about it, you gave it good
You're back up, can't just leave it alone
I'm walking from acres across
Now I'm going home to do it all again on my own
Damn, can you feel it?
Damn, I can't believe it
Damn, you got me feelin' good
Damn, do you dig it?
That's the way you do it
Damn, you know, you give it good
You got my tongue, it's so tied
My eyes are open wide
And my hair is standing up on my skin
And I keep sayin'
Damn, do you dig it?
That's the way you do it
Damn, you know, you give it good
Waltz through the door and into your room
Cause this whole world lies
But you tell me the truth
Think I'll give you up?
You're not gonna let me down
Your love is like an ocean
And I'm starting to drown
Damn, can you feel it?
Damn, I can't believe it
Damn, you got me feelin' good
Damn, do you dig it?
That's the way you do it
Damn, you know, you give it good
You got my tongue, it's so tied
My eyes are open wide
And my hair is standing up on my skin
And I keep sayin'
Damn, do you dig it?
That's the way you do it
Damn, you know, you give it good
Oh yeah, yeah
I can't believe it, I can't believe it
Oh yeah, you got me feelin' good
Good, good, good
Now I'm standing outside on the street
I walk through the city
I'm laughing, bouquets staring down at my feet
And I look up and this sky might fall
Open up and pull me in
I feel like an angel who's fallen
I just got to have this first taste of original sin
Damn, can you feel it?
Damn, I can't believe it
Damn, you got me feelin' good
Damn, do you dig it?
That's the way you do it
Damn, you know, you give it good
Two minutes later

Oh yeah, you got me feelin' good
Good, good, good

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
