I say I wanna be healthy but I turn up the noise.
And the IV drips a steady stream of poison.
I think I'm just in love with the feeling.
Break my bones so I can feel them healing.

Crazy's I believe the medical term.
When we wanna recover but we don't wanna learn.
Keep breaking what's been fixed a thousand times.
And give me some more of that iodine.

I can't make reality connect,
I'll push 'til I have nothing left.
Bit if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.
I'll run in circles 'til I crash,
One day these steps will be my last.
So if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.

I say I wanna be happy but I quickly forget.
When I sabotage all the good I've got left.
Depression's like a big fur coat.
It's made of dead things but it keeps me warm.
Crazy's I believe the medical term.
When we wanna recover but we don't wanna learn.
Keep breaking what's been fixed a thousand times.
And give me some more of that iodine.

I can't make reality connect,
I'll push 'til I have nothing left.
Bit if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.
I'll run in circles 'til I crash,
One day these steps will be my last.
So if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.

I don't like pain but I bring it to life.
I don't like scars but I'm good with a knife.
I don't like tears but I'm starting to cry
When I realize I'm destroying my life

I do this to myself,
I do this to myself.
Stop blaming someone else,
We do this to ourselves.

I can't make reality connect,
I'll push 'til I have nothing left.
Bit if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.
I'll run in circles 'til I crash,
One day these steps will be my last.
So if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.
So if we want to wake up,
Why we still singing these lullabies
(Why we still singing these lullabies)

    this is an amazing song!

    Im positive it means that no matter how many times she tries to go back to ¨normal¨ she just comes back to the never ending cycle of depression.

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"

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
