I'd rather not go
Where the people i know
Have no hooks to hang from,
Now she wears fake-fur,
It's speakin' volumes for her,
It's a freak-show for Mother Nature.

(Aaaaa- I can see you)
If the star impales a world from its pew,
It don't subscribe to its point of view.
(Aaaaa- I can see you)
Some time is lost imprinting my mind
And so i honestly can see you.

Pope John-Paul's had a fall,
They won't take 'no' anymore,
Their God will die before i can,
If the city is filled,
Then build a bridge outta here,
But you've no
Hooks to hang from.

(And now, Aaaaa- I can see you)
If the star impales a world from its pew,
It don't subscribe to its point of view.
(Aaaaa- Try seeing if i can)
(i can see you)
(You shout it out and-)
(You can see)
Have some bills,
You fill collection tins,
You got no vision
You got no vision
You got no-
I'll see if i can feel you.

Take a little while
Before you speak out,
Reap it sweet, My lines,
And note it is.
There must be something good
In this tumbled up world,
This shook up world.

And if you're one of the boys,
With your irrelevant ploys,
You're too close for comfort,
It might keep you amused,
To leave the restless confused,
You'll have so much more
To run from.

(Aaaaa- I can see you)
If the star impales a world from its pew,
It don't subscribe to its point of view.
(Aaaaa- Try seeing if i can)
(I can see you)
(You shout it out and-)
(You can see)
Have some bills,
You fill collection tins,
You got no vision
You got no vision
You got no-
I'll see if i can heal you.

Shh, Shh,
The elephant man is sleeping.
Shh, Shh,
The elephant man is sleeping.

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"

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
