Tomorrow Is Yesterday

Powerman 5000

Let yourself be tomorrow
Tomorrow is yesterday
So show me the way to get out of this world
I'll be the one that fades away (right)

You give it, you give it
You get it, you get it
You give it, you give it
And then they take it away
You give it and they take it away
You get it and they take it away

Let yourself be tomorrow
Tomorrow is yesterday
So show me a way to get out of this world
I'll be the one that fades away

Let yourself be tomorrow
Tomorrow is yesterday
So show me a way to get out of this world
I'll be the one that fades away (right)

You see it, you see it
You take it, you take it
You see it, you see it
And then they steal it away
Don't you realize that you can't win
Cause the place you begin is the place you must end

Right! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Right! Right! Right! Right!

Let yourself be tomorrow
Tomorrow is yesterday
So show me a way to get out of this world
I'll be the one that fades away

Let yourself be tomorrow
Tomorrow is yesterday
So show me a way to get out of this world
I'll be the one that fades away

Let yourself be tomorrow
Tomorrow is yesterday
So show me a way to get out of this world
I'll be the one that fades away

Yeah!

You give it, you give it
You get it, you get it
You give it, you give it
And then they take it away
Don't you realize that you can't win
Cause the place you begin is the place you must end

Right! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Right! Right! Right! Right!
Right! Right! Right!

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"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
