He's gonna get you in the end
Then he'll be your only friend
There's nothing that'll save your soul
All you need is alcohol

Step right up and be a man
On your knees and pray
Freedoms just another open bottle anyway

So one more round is all I need
Fill it up and let me be
It's getting late I should've known
Won't somebody carry me home?

[Chorus]
Pick me up from my knees
Carry me home

We think you should know
It's time to go
No more to show
Yes it's time to go

6am it's closing time the barman turns the lights out
I want another round so bring it on it's my shout

Don't leave me sitting here
Don't take me for a ride
Freedoms just another drink
Don't leave me hangin' dry

Step right up and be a man
On your knees and pray
Freedoms just another open bottle anyway

[Chorus]

We think you should know
It's time to go
No more to show
Yes it's time to go

    This song is, as you could probably tell from the comments above, about alcoholism.

    It's obviously a drinking song. More importantly to me, this song is on Guitar Hero II, and it's one of the most fun songs to play. I love it.

    that dude sounds like he's had whiskey, vodka, tequila, and everything else remotely related to alcahol and JackR is right. That is the most fun on MEDIUM

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift
I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
