I smiled that kind of icy blue smile, of a noonday reckoning
the tied together two, of tell-tale pictures
I've sketched in, sand castle plots and plans.
Similar starting points, both for sin, and shooting blanks
but it's always, the unseen sharp pang.
The awkward rhythm of the dance
like a tick-tock clock, in that heart of hearts
repeating, repeating
there is no happy here
there is no happy here...
devil may care touches
trickled down
spine, thigh, and breast...
spine, thigh, and breast
may never truly
illuminate, illuminate, the finer art
of heartwork
devil may care touches, trickled down
spine, thigh, and breast...
may never, illuminate, finer art, heartwork
the finer art, of heartwork
I was turning over, with the sheets, and facing the arched back
thinking of how my eyes, half-opened, (there is no happy here)
caught her arm (there is no happy here)
moving from side to side (there is no happy here)
but never to me (there is no happy here)
(there is no happy here) it's all connected
(there is no happy here) by blank words
(there is no happy here) to tell empty promises
(there is no happy here) of clumsy miscommunication(there is no happy here)
(there is no happy here) (there is no happy here) so we say what we will
to see what we may, to find a Biblical knowing, in these last few hours
so we say what we will, [what we will]
to see what we may, [what we may]
to find a Biblical knowing, [knowing]
in these last few hours, in these last few, [in these last few hours]
in these last few, [in these last few hours]
in these last few, [in these last few hours]
in these last few...
it's too sad, it's too tragic, i spent myself, choking on, motions
leading up to said, misfortune
it's too sad, too tragic, spent myself [spent myself]
choking on, motions, leading up to said, [spent myself] misfortune
too sad, it's too tragic, spent myself [spent myself]
choking on the motions, leading up to, said, misfortune

Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

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"
