Who would know
All the reasons you're alone
If the seeds were planted firm, my dear
Wouldn't the branches tear it all apart?

I'll tell you a secret
Let's make this perfectly clear
There's no secrets this year
I'll tell you a secret
I'll make it perfectly clear
There's no secrets this year

So your heart's blown open
Pulsating in your ear
The beat is insincere
I'll tell you a secret
Let's make this perfectly clear
There's no secrets this year

Too late, little one, I'm on the run
You think I'm having all the fun
I don't mind, I'm still here
Everything seems perfect from down here
That's the reason you still fear
If the screams aren't buried, oh my God!
You'll let the echoes shake it all apart

I'll tell you a secret
Let's make this perfectly clear
There's no secrets this year
I'll tell you a secret
I'll make it perfectly clear
There's no secrets this year

So your heart's blown open
Pulsating in your ear
The beat is insincere
I'll tell you a secret
Let's make this perfectly clear
There's no secrets this year

Lay your head down rest your feet
I'll blow you kisses while you sleep
And when I know you're safe and dreaming
My escape plan's in full swing

Who would know
All the reasons you're a bore
'Cause the seeds were planted firm right here
Let the branches tear it all apart

I'll tell you a secret
Make it perfectly clear
There's no secrets this year
I'll tell you a secret
I'll make it perfectly clear
There's no secrets this year

So your heart's blown open
Pulsating in your ear
The beat is insincere
I'll tell you a secret
Let's make this perfectly clear
There's no secrets this year
There's no secrets this year
There's no secrets this year

You better make sure
You better make sure you're looking closely

Before you fall into your swoon

    I'm pretty sure of this change in the lyrics:

    so your hearts blown open consider with your ear we are still sincere

    should be:

    So your heart's blown open Pulsating in your ear Feelings insincere

    I think in this song he's addressing someone who isn't true to themselves and others, telling them to try and be more honest and trustworthy before they wind up totally miserable. I think the title suggests a theme of starting fresh, making this a good opening song.

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”

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
