alguien jodió las calles
con prohibiciones de higiene mental
quién separó los colores
fabricó las casillas que has de ocupar

babel dividió el planeta,
encerró en sus mazmorras
el nervio del sur

aquel que cerró las puertas
levantando muros que no saltes tú.

alguien tomó en sus manos
las manos de todos,
confirmó su ley

¿quién enseño la doctrina,
sabiduría que no los quita la sed?

babel plantó banderas,
cantó los himnos en distintas lenguas
aquel que nos da el tabaco
y vino agrio que nos entretenga.

ESTRIBILLO (X4)
babel olvidó que el hombre es el lobo
del hombre que le va a devorar
y ya no espero otra cosa,
que te vayas con otra para no regresar.

    Translation to English(Traduccion al inglés): (pretty close)

    someone fucked up the streets with prohibitions of mental hygiene he who separated the colors built the doghouses you are to live in

    babel divided the planet, shut in her dungeons the nerve of the south

    that's the one that closed the doors, raising walls too high for you to jump

    someone took in their hands the hands of everyone, conifmed the law

    Who taught the doctrine, "wisdom" that doesn't quench our thirst?

    babel planted flags, sang hymns in different languages that's the one that gives us the tabacco and sour wine that entertain us.

    Chorus babel forgot that man is a wolf that will devour his own and i don't expect anything else, may you leave with someone else not to return.

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"

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
