I'm back
Ha ha ha ha ha

So let's rewind, back to the time, two thousand five, I almost died
I overdosed, I did not know, did I provoke this evil ghost?
Disaster

Magically
I turned tragedy
Into melodies
Sold for catchy beats
It comes so naturally
So smooth and casually
That's why they call me king
Of the music scene

La la la

La la la

La la la

La la la

La la la

La la la

I dug a hole
Ten miles wide
So I could throw all of you inside
You're such a dumb fuck
You need to shut up
You bring a picture of me every time you get a haircut
Impostor!

Magically
I turned tragedy
Into melodies
Sold for catchy beats
It comes so naturally
So smooth and casually
That's why they call me king
Of the music scene

La la la la

Bruised and broken
My eyes are open
I won't lose focus
My eyes are open
Can you see in the distance
Can you see the resistance

Magically
I turned tragedy
Into melodies
Sold for catchy beats
It comes so naturally
So smooth and casually
That's why they call me king
Of the music scene

Magically
I turned tragedy
Into melodies
Sold for catchy beats
It comes so naturally
So smooth and casually
That's why they call me king
Of the music scene

    My Opinion

    Personally I think this song was purposely suppose to sound arrogant. When he was with ETF and on drugs he probably was arrogant because he probably thought he had everything and nothing to lose. With out even purposely trying to think that way. Then when he lost everything and his best friends turned and a guy he had respect for started taking some shit, he had anger and everything. This song definitely shows he's back and that he's a new man. It's kind of like this is the chance to get all that arrogance out and begin with the passion of his music. Also have to remember this is the first album, it's going to be about all the feelings and emotions he felt when he truly spiraled out of control and landed himself in prison. It's going to be about what his fan's saw and said. Songs are stories, songs are memories, songs are life and most important songs are emotions, past, present and future. So again, I personally think and have a small gut feeling this was purposely fueled with arrogance, just show how he felt at first with that anger.

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
