[There are definitely parts where I was wrong / clueless... Please make suggestions.]

Is it hard to wish?
Drowned all your mongrel heart again
If they don't answer, would you want to be found out
You talk/duck through the window you're a blight on the town

Love is turning you out
Sliding windy route
Try to harness the waiting game
Bring nice matter down

And would it be wrong
To clamp down on your racing heart, love
??? To be found, love
It's not what you deserve

Love is turning you out
Sliding windy route
I Try to harness the waiting game
Bring nice matter down

Faster than you were going to
Turn out the lights and say get down
If you don't answer, would you want to be found, love?
Five days on trapped by a wave

Love is turning you out
Sliding winding route
Try to harness the waiting game
Bring nice matter down, down, down.

Back ???
You'll be cut down in a seedy stairway
If you don't answer, would you want to be found now?
Sucked from the bed to the window

Looking back on that time
Starting in the minds
What it is to be twenty nine
Fame sets your life down

Would it be wrong
Would it be wrong
To disappoint you now
Disappoint you now

    This is what I think the lyrics are :

    Is it hard to wait? Drawn by your mongrel heart again If they don’t answer, would you want to be found out? You duck through the wind in your old blight on the town

    Love is turning you out Sliding worry round I try to warn its waiting game To bring that spectre down

    Would it be wrong To clamp down on your racing heart? Love And if they’d known, what sifted down to be found out? It’s not what you deserve

    Love is turning you out Sliding worry round I try to warn its waiting game To bring that spectre down

    Faster than you were going to allow Turn out the lights or say get out If you don't answer, would you want to be found, love? Five days on, trapped by a wave

    Love is turning you out Sliding worry round I try to warn this waiting game To bring that spectre down

    Black corn was soaking You'll be cut down in the seedy stairway If you don't answer, would you want to be found now? Sapped from the bed to the window

    Looking back on that time Starting in the minds What it is to be twenty nine Fame sets your life down

    Would it be wrong Would it be wrong To disappoint you now Disappoint you now

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"

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.
