Bite your tongue boy
Squared up casual like propelled eyelids
You're trying too hard
Frenzied thoughts, body surging with adrenaline

He thinks he's slick with those he's hanging with all night
I guess at night time it's tough to be polite

Ah ah
He said watch your back son, nights are no fun
Ah ah
He said you're not alright, alright

They messed you up, boy
Know-it-all lightweights left you down spitting bones
Broken discord
Slicked back riff-raff sideways staring

He thinks he's slick with those he's hanging with all night
You're right at night time, it's tough to be polite

Ah ah
He said watch your back son, nights are no fun
Ah ah
He said you're not alright, alright

Ah ah
He said watch your back son, nights are no fun
Ah ah
He said you're not alright, alright

Time gets lost on you
Time gets lost on you

Why?
Why?

Ah ah
He said watch your back son, nights are no fun
Ah ah
He said you're not alright, alright

Ah ah
He said watch your back son, nights are no fun
Ah ah
He said you're not alright, alright

    Song Fact

    “Sick Boy first came to life in early 2013 when Malcolm recorded Jack Schumacher (guitar, bass) and Mitch Ansell (guitar, bass) doing an improvised jam to a programmed drum beat. They played for about 25 minutes. Later on Malcolm went through and found bits and pieces from the jam, then chopped them up, rearranged and constructed totally new riffs into a near complete bed for the song. From there the song was layered with unique ideas from other members, which created the version you hear now.

    There was only one rehearsal of this song before we recorded it. A lot of the final parts were ideas that we came up with in the studio once recording began. The film ‘Trainspotting’, which we had been watching whilst on a writing weekend in Daylesford, lyrically inspires the song.”

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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"
