Intro:
yeah
aye blackstar
DK
yeah
it's another one
it's official

Verse 1:
he knew from the start
he had me all sprung
i had no choice to touch him
he had that edge
the way he worked me
he had me open
i could tell he was trouble
my girls told me that he was not the one
they said mama don't you trust him
when he touched me
all the warnings, they just blew past me
i know that he is trouble[hook]
i gotta find a way to get through this
this dude is killing me
got me caught up in it
theres no way to free me
and i'm playing the fool because i know he's no good

Chorus:
that's why it's just a phase
that that i'm goin through
a shame
that he got me breaking all my rules
got me tripping
don't know what to do
they say it's just a phase
that that i'm goin through
such a shame
that he got me breaking all my rules
got me tripping
don't know what to do
they say it's just a phase

Verse 2:
everytime i think
i got the strength to leave
i pack my bags
he says come with me
gets on his knees
and makes promises that he can't keep
and i believe him
i thought i was stronger than this
a southern girl
with southern dreams
but he could see
he controlled me

Hook:
i gotta find a way to get through this
this dude is killing me
got me caught up in it
theres no way to free me
and i'm playing the fool because i know he's no good

Chorus:
that's why it's just a phase
that that i'm goin through
a shame
that he got me breaking all my rules
got me tripping
don't know what to do
they say it's just a phase
that that i'm goin through
such a shame
that he got me breaking all my rules
got me tripping
don't know what to do
they say it's just a phase

    It's about getting too attached to a guy after a one-night-stand, and he knows you're head over heels for him so he just plays with your feelings, and even though she knows he's a bitch she can't get over him so she just pretends her friends are wrong when they say he's a dickhead. Who didn't go through something like that before? It sucks lol

Mountain Song
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."

Gentle Hour
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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
