We all get low, you have no close,
Your sack is heavy, your sack is grim.
Here we go, here we go.

We all get low, we have no close,
Second weapon to go, [unintelligible]
Don't touch my trim, I'll get some gash.
My sack is heavy, my sack is grim.
We all get low, we have no clothes.
Second weapon to go, [unintelligible]
So don't touch my trim, go get your gash.

Everyone dies in their own way
Today may be the first day, of the rest of your decay.
An though you feel, you've only just begun,
I'm sad to say, your death's already underway.
Mine began on Wed ens day.
I'm sad to say, it happens everyday.

We all get low, you have no clothes,
Second weapon to go, [unintelligible]

Everbody wears this stupid grin.
Worn by the skeleton,
underneath your skin,
And he'll grin like that forever
He's already doing it now,
just getting practice in.

Remember, in a photograph,
an x-ray of a hollow love
that ruins everything.

that ruins everything.

We all get low, we have no clothes,
Second weapon to go, [unintelligible]
Don't touch my trim, I'll get some gash.
My sack is heavy, my sack is grim.
We all get low, we have no close.
We all get low, we have no close.

Everyone howls in disbelief
to see their friends and relatives
approach the floral wreaths.

And I'd like to say that day won't come for you,
my friend,
myself,
my world,
my everlasting lover girl.
Of course it will, of course it will.

And when it does,
I hope that you have done the things you've come to do
all the things you'd meant to do
before the bastard comes to you,
all the things you'd meant to do,
before the bastard got to you.

Your sack is heavy, your sack is grim.
Here we go, here we go.
We all get low.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
