Cut deep, the wound is open, infection sets in.
Will this be my last or does the cut get deeper?
I can't feel, walking with unopened eyes.
Lies that brought me here fade away.
Misplaced this cure, misplaced this heart.
Can't feel for the wound inside of me.
Hand of Dead lain in stone, shape shift to concieve.
Drowning is evidence that fading is slowly taking root.
Can't feel for the wound inside.
Hand of the Dead.

    Hello, ok here’s how I see this song..."cut deep" his sin has cut him. "The wound is open" when you get a cut and it stays open it hurts so i think he’s saying that this sin is starting to hurt him. "Infection sets in" his first sin leads him into more sin. "Will this be me last" i think he means will this be my last sin, "or does the cut get deeper" meaning will he sin more and not have control over it. "i cant feel" he’s gotten so use to these sins that they don’t even feel wrong anymore, "walking with unopened eyes" meaning that his sin now has blinded him. "Lies that brought me here" the lies that satin told him (like its only bad if you really mean it or every body’s doing it) "fade away" someone showed him that he had fallen into sin. "Misplaced this cure" someone tried to show him the way out of sin and the forgiveness of God but he didn't listen, "misplaced this heart" meaning he left his heart in the sin. "Can't feel for the wound inside of me" the wound (his sin) is now hurting so bad that it’s the only thing he can think about.

    Now someone else finish, I’m not sure about the rest of it.

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.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
