I hear you say the sun is setting and it's time to find belief
In something other than a heart that seems to dangle from a string
We've strung on this piano
Who knows just where the chords will go

How do I find a piece of faith in passing faces on the street
Forever asking where I'm going to the strangers that I meet
Can we just stop and hold sustain
Stay here and breathe sustained

I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Did I lose my rhythm now
Am I lost? Am I found?

When did the words all start to blur and make the point too hard to see
In all the writing on the walls in everyplace we had to be
I'd like to say we made a change
In how the songs were sang
So if I'm gonna break down
I'll do it for all of us

And I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Did I lose my rhythm now
Am I lost? Am I found?

And I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Guess I got caught in all the sounds
Am I lost? Am I found?

I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Did I lose my rhythm now
Am I lost? Am I found?

And I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Guess I got caught in all the sounds
Am I lost? Am I found?

    My Interpretation

    I always get the image of two people, either best friends or perhaps (likely) lovers that have reached a point in time where their paths are about to take them in different directions and that the first person ("I" pronoun) is being encouraged by the other to "find faith in something other than [them]" (first stanza)

    The first person is unsure of where to go in life and/or the meaning of life after this change and wishes that the current moment could last forever (second stanza)

    The chorus expresses the first person's feelings about feeling lost and found in life and personal identity...like with any big life changes (be it from student to employee, single to partnered or back, new career etc)

    In the last verse it is a reflection on what was before and when everything started changing and how the person thought "the songs were sang" for the better, and that he or she will break down for everyone (if it will happen) (so that no one else has to??)

    Overall a catchy song that is easily one of my favourites from the album.

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
