As dark falls
On these shores
Fell in love
With Aphrodite
Her dark power
In my heart
In my heart
Feel it now her beauty never ends

As dark falls
On these shores
On this earth
Feel like a stranger
Getting lost
Such a cost
As I fall
Is my heart deceiving even me

I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby

How can I tell you what's in my mind
How can I say when it's all so bad
Feel so weak
Feel so tired
Oh so tired
Feel my heart deceiving even me

I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
So tell me what else could I do

Instead of replacing her with you
So tell me what else could I be
I found darkness inside me

I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby

    This is a gorgeous song...kind of obvious, it's just a pretty little love song. Aphrodite is the Godess of love.. I think Tim is almost critical of himself in this song..."Her dark power... is my heart deceiving even me?". Maybe he is saying we can convince ourself to fall in love for the wrong reasons, because of how someone looks, but really if they are not a nice person-"how can I say what's in my mind, how can i say when it's so bad"then it doesn't work out. He thought he was in love with this gurl but in fact he desired her beauty-"I found the darkness inside me" is about realising how shallow he has been and knowing that he has to give her up if he wants true love.

    This Song Is a really Magnificent song.. Im quite Agree wif electriveil. This is a very simple love song.. BUt it's really show how genius n sincere tim is. The way he describe the girl she loves same as aphrodite is really2 mavelous.. Yeah.. For me i bvelieve this song is about a man broke out wif girl and in the time he still can't forget his Ex he saw n fall in the love in the sight wif a very another pretty woman. And then he doesnt know what to do.. Because most of her his affection to this new girl is only on her beauty.. Anyway This song is very2 enjoyable........ :)

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.

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.
