Nothing you say
Can hurt me now
Into the space
I fell, I fall

A strange river is deep in my
Into the dark I dive

I took leave
Kissing the day
Took leave
Kissing your mouth
Supportively
Kissing the day

It took sometime from me to try
To learn to love this child of mine
Not for nothing she survived
Into this space
I fell to find

I took leave
Kissing the day
Took leave
Kissing your mouth
Supportively
Kissing the day

You're sad star
It's too late to cry
Your tears could be
Your saddest no

I took leave
Kissing the day
Took leave
Kissing your mouth
Supportively
Kissing the day

I took leave
Kissing the day
Took leave
Kissing your mouth
Supportively
Kissing the day

    I first heard this song while watching G-String Divas on HBO, it was the episode that profiled Jordan and the art and science of lapdances, and she was like poledancing or something with her pimp boyfriend watching from the bar and I was struck dumb at how beautiful and profound this song was in addition to the lapdance-friendly-beat. I'm not sure what this song is about really but the vocals communicate this unbearable presence of love and emotion, a positive and reaffirming thing really.

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"

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
