Welcome to the new world
Safe
Sound
Sublime
A better and improved world
For our mankind

Welcome to the new world
Please wait in line
Just sign the dotted line, Sir
Don't waste our time

When the last drop of solidarity
from the age of Aquarius
has boiled down to a tiny trickling stream
little grey men peek out on us
Safe from their bunker paper piles
Thrilled by the change of tide
You see...
They can kill but they don't like the wild

We know it all
But what have we learned?
We have it all
But what have we earned?
We control it all
But what do we yearn?
We stand so tall
But have we burned?

Welcome to the new world
All want, no need

See, the less your heart is in it
The less you'll bleed

Welcome to the new world
Birthing the grind
Now we only need a new you
And you'll feel fine

Safe from the passionate storm wave
The hungry ocean of Life at our doorstep
Now still
We crawl out to rule another day
And we are happy
In our own detached little way
"Now may the ocean sleep forever"
we pray
"Let the weather stay mild"
we say
You see...
We can but we really don't like the wild

We know it all
But what have we learned?
We have it all
But what have we earned?
We control it all
But what do we yearn?
We stand so tall
But have we burned?

Welcome to the future
Welcome to the grind
Welcome to the new you
Just leave yourself behind

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"

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
