Human

Manafest

Hey, I never said I was an angel, no
I never said I wouldn't break down, yeah
Beside myself, living in a cold cell
Don't shut me out

Yeah, you look at me like I'm a stranger
Yeah, you make me feel like I betrayed you
Don't leave me stranded,
As I reach out my hand

'Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve
If you cut me I'll bleed
I know I cannot erase
Every mistake that I've made

I never said I was an angel, no
I never said I wouldn't break down
But life keeps on moving
By now you should know

I'm only human
Hey, hey, hey
I'm only human
Hey, hey, hey

Hey, got any grace for a failure?
'Cause I'm feeling like I failed you
Yeah, I lashed out, digging up my past
O, I know let you down, yeah
O, I'm still fighting for the future
Yeah, 'cause I never wanna lose you

I'll keep on climbing
If you're on my side

'Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve
If you cut me I'll bleed
I know I cannot erase
Every mistake that I've made

I never said I was an angel, no
I never said I wouldn't break down
But life keeps on moving
By now you should know

I'm only human
Hey, hey, hey
I'm only human
Hey, hey, hey

I know I'm breaking your heart
Every storm that tears us apart
I know I'm to blame for all the damage
I've done

But you know that I'm ready to take the fall

I never said I was angel
I never said I wouldn't break down

'Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve
If you cut me I'll bleed
I know I cannot erase
Every mistake that I've made

I never said I was an angel, no
I never said I wouldn't break down
But life keeps on moving
By now you should know

I'm only human
Hey, hey, hey
I'm only human
Hey, hey, hey

I'm only human
Hey, hey, hey
I'm only human

    I think that this song is about a person confessing his sins and asking god for forgiveness.

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"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
