You're the night to my day
And the left to my right
The blood to my veins
And the dark to my light
The stop to my start
And the constant beat of my heart

The sun to my moon
And the stars in my sky
The hot to my cold
And the black to my white
The rain to my thunderclouds
And the truth in my lies

So tell me what you want to see
'Coz everything I want to be
Is there in your reflection
Shining out right back at me

So love me in perfect symmetry
Be my everything
If you just love me in perfect symmetry
Only you can make me feel complete
In perfect symmetry
Be my everything
If you just love me in perfect symmetry
Only you can make me feel complete

So tell me your dreams and
I'll tell you all my fears
So ask me your questions
I'll tell you what you want to hear

You're the high to my low
And the give to my take
The shadow I cast
And the echo I make
The calm to my storm
And the lesson in my mistakes

So tell me what you want to see
You're everything I want to be

Just love me in perfect symmetry
Be my everything
If you just love me in perfect symmetry
Only you can make me feel complete
In perfect symmetry
Be my everything
If you just love me in perfect symmetry
Only you can make me feel complete

So tell me your dreams
And I'll tell you my fears
So ask me your questions
What you want to hear

    The first time I heard this song, I had no idea it featured Phil Oakey from The Human League. So once I'd got over the very pleasant surprise of hearing his distinctive voice, it took the song to another level entirely. It's definitely one of the stand out tracks on Little Boots's debut CD and I hope she and Phil Oakey collaborate in the future, their voices complement each other perfectly.

    As for the song meaning, it's obviously about a woman who'd like her partner to love her back just as much as she does, the eponymous "symmetry".

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
