Stones in your eyes, stones in your eyes
Stones in your eyes, stones in your mouth
Stones in your ears, stones in your mind
Stones in your eyes, stones in your eyes

We live in a jar, think the lids the sky
You're hoping for a savior on your cross outside
Stars are just a million little fireflies
The sun is just a hole; it's the light outside

No one save me tonight
Take a try, but leave a light
Somewhere safe but I know
Where your going
Is it safe tonight?

Holding out for rest but on the seventh day
I've created nothing and I'm wide awake
So can I tie my key to your electric kite?
The rooster crowed twice and you kissed me goodnight

There's too many saviors on my cross again
I know I'm never going to be a perfect man
Everyone's an oyster with their grain of sand
I love you most in song now it has to end

No one save me tonight
Take a try, but leave a light
Somewhere safe but I know
Where your going
Is it safe tonight?

Stones in your eyes
Stones in your eyes
Stones in your eyes
Stones in your eyes
Stones in your eyes
Stones in your eyes
I'll run a million miles if you win first prize

No one save me tonight
Take a try, but leave a light
Somewhere safe but I know
Where your going
Is it safe tonight?
Where your going
Is it safe tonight?
Where your going
Is it safe tonight?

    I don't think it's too far-fetched at all.

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"

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."

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.
