Thought I was alone in my utter disgust
'Til the old me started to bleed and we became us
Lust in this trust in this social halitosis
Combust to form stardust burning nuclear gust

Who sets presidents up to farm oil
It's the pigs who's tails curl out to pointed coil
If you want to know more then mark "yes" at the end of your test
In response to your call of distress we're the best

(Meet me in the back room)
I'll tell you everything, you everything, woah
(Meet me in the back room)
Just run away with me, just lay with me, woah

They say rebellion exists in despair
And their ironic facial hair
The devil may or may not care
I saw the look she gave to Mr. Cred
She said don't let that blow go to your head
She took my hand instead
There's nothing like the brain of a beautiful girl
When they grasp the fallacy of the world
We're in the back room, back to back, breathing hard
Reading the file on the heart they sought to defile

(Yeah! Meet me in the back room)
I'll tell you everything, you everything, woah
(Meet me in the back room)
Just run away with me, just lay with me, woah
(Meet me in the back room)
I'll tell you everything, you everything, woah
(Meet me in the back room)
Just run away with me, just lay with me, woah

Alright!

(Meet me in the back room)
I'll tell you everything, you everything, woah
(Meet me in the back room)
Just run away with me, just lay with me, woah
(Meet me in the back room)
I'll tell you everything, you everything, woah
(Meet me in the back room)
Just run away with me, just lay with me, woah
She won't follow you
She won't follow you, she won't follow
She won't follow you
She won't follow you, she won't follow

    Since it's been a decade and no one has mentioned a meaning, allow me to give my best shot. The guy sees a lot of lies in the world and his opinion is often the unpopular one, as he sees through the lies that everyone buys into. One day, he meets a girl who also sees through those lies and he's in love with her because she can see like he can. The liars of the world won't corrupt this one, this one is his.

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.

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.

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.

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.
