Tigers In The Fire

Love Grenades

Seven

Let's play tigers in the fire
I know this is just desire
So won't you stay with me
Oh, if you stay, you'll see

You've changed
Nothing is the same
I know I am not to blame
Please don't you beg for me
Oh, don't you beg for me

I can live life hangin' 'bout the street
I can do anything, so don't bother me
We can take it on down to the underground
Ain't nobody gonna tell me that I can't get down
We can last dance, we can lust tonight
I can do anything it'll be alright
I can get with anyone, but they're not the one
Ain't nobody gonna tell me that I am wrong
I can do anything that I like
I can screw anyone that's nice, then walk away
Put your hands on me, we can make sweet love in the winter breeze
I can do anything that I like
I can screw anyone that's nice then walk away

I've gone
My new world's untamed
I kiss boys and drink champagne
So glad I set me free
To do whatever I please

I can live life hangin' 'bout the street
I can do anything, so don't bother me
We can take it on down to the underground
Ain't nobody gonna tell me that I can't get down
We can last dance, we can lust tonight
I can do anything it'll be alright
I can get with anyone, but they're not the one
Ain't nobody gonna tell me that I am wrong
I can do anything that I like
I can screw anyone that's nice, then walk away
Put your hands on me, we can make sweet love in the winter breeze
I can do anything that I like
I can screw anyone that's nice then walk away

One, two
Three, four
Five, six
Seven, Eight

I can live life hangin' 'bout the street
I can do anything, so don't bother me
We can take it on down to the underground
Ain't nobody gonna tell me that I can't get down
We can last dance, we can lust tonight
I can do anything, it'll be alright
I can get with anyone, but they're not the one
Ain't nobody gonna tell me that I am wrong
I can do anything that I like
I can screw anyone that's nice, then walk away
Put your hands on me, we can make sweet love in the winter breeze
I can do anything that I like
I can screw anyone that's nice then walk away

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"

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
