Here on this stainless table
I come inside you and haunt your dreams
Baby I don't mind, you can fake it
But I don't mind, come away with me.

You make a godly servant
Protect your bible between your knees
Baby I won’t mind, let me play with it
I don't mind, run away with it.

The funeral party favorite
I'm the ghost in the human shape
Baby I don't mind if you play with me
I don't mind, run away with me.

We'll drink from the waves and feel our souls,
Fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls.
Get drunk on the waves, reveal our souls
Fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls

I know when the angel calls you
You'll cross your fingers then fall asleep
Baby i don't mind if you play with me
i don't mind, come away with me

We'll drink from the waves and feel our souls,
We’ll fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls.
Get drunk on the waves, reveal our souls
We fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls.

    This song is too short. It may be one of the best Chino songs ever made.

    As it's something I've imagined before when I realize that I may one day experience the loss of the love of my life if he will not lose me first or we leave the world together... I get it.

    I imagined wandering in the night among the places where my lover and I go to share bottles of wine in wilderness and in the dark beauty of cemeteries, only, one day, without him if ever he's taken from me by death. I'd long so badly to reconnect with him some how and to experience in even the smallest of ways his presence once again, even if only inside of my own mind - my lover and I and a bottle of cold red wine.

    This song is about longing to be haunted by one's lost lover.

    Which is fucking heartbreaking and totally romantic.

    When I first heard this song the first verse immediately told me this song was about getting a girl pregnant. Now that I know all the lyrics, I'll interpret the song from that stand point:

    "Here on this stainless table I come inside you and haunt your dreams Baby I don't mind, you can fake it But I don't mind, come away with me."

    This verse obviously is about impregnating a woman who doesn't want a child or at least his.

    "We'll drink from the waves and feel our souls, Fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls. Get drunk on the waves, reveal our souls Fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls"

    This part to me implies a sacrifice the woman is making for her mistake. She marries the man who impregnated her and shares a miserable life with him for the sake of her their child.

    "You make a godly servant Protect your bible between your knees Baby I won�t mind, let me play with it I don't mind, run away with it."

    This verse to me implies that the woman was a virgin who got taken advantage of by the man who impregnated her.

    "I know when the angel calls you You'll cross your fingers then fall asleep Baby i don't mind if you play with me i don't mind, come away with me"

    This could either mean she's hoping the man she's with will die or that she'll die and get away from her mistake. The Man that got her pregnant also senses this and knows she hates him but he doesn't mind because he knows he has her.

    So that's the song to me. Best song on the EP by far.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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"

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”

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.
