She pulls down her sleaves
Teyin'a hide her scars
Always wear sweaters
So no one can see her arms
She closes her eyes
And takes the anger out with a blade

She goes to bed way to late
Cause she's busy crying tryin to rid from all the pain
That nobody seems to see
Cause she hiss it so effertlessly

She carries her sorrows like a cross on her back
Can't ignore the pain coming from all their hits and stabs
And nobody Is aware
Or do they all just not care?

Cause every time she Finally feels
She's slowly getting better
She try's her hardest to fit in
But nobody lets her
She assumes this is the only way
To cut her wrists and hope that it all goes away
She just can't face it
Ooooohhhhhh
So she try's to escape it

At home parents are yelling
At school she's alone
She's scarf and abandoned
Everywhere that she goes
So she prays to god
Asking that tomarrow be a better day

Everywhere she goes
Everywhere she turns
A new lesson taught
And a new lesson lerned
She just wants the pain to end
Is that to much to ask of a friend?

Cause every time she finally feels she's slowly getting better
She try's her hardest to fit in
But nobody lets her
She assumes this is the only way
To cut her wrists and hope that it all goes away
She just can't take it
Oooohhhh
So she try's to escape it

Police sirrons ringing in the dead of the night
Girl found dead under her bathroom light
Bleach in her lungs
Blood on the froor
She thought she had nothing else left to live for

But the note that was left on her counter top
Read "I couldn't take it, it just wouldn't stop,
But I'll be with god
Hopefully
Which is better then any life could have given me.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
