Do you know how it feels to be down in the dirt.
With a bullet in you breast and blood on your shirt.
Lying in a blood pool down in a pit.
Covered with the corpse and the blood and the shit.

How does it feel to have a gun at your head.
When you know that you'd be much better off dead.
Looking right down trough the barrel of a gun.
Don't try to tell me that you think it's fun.

Praying for your mercy don't say you see the light.
What difference does it make if the good lord's right.
At the end of the war the survivors are none.
Because a war is a loss a war can't be won.

You're just another soldier and you're doing the dying.
You're a symbol of a nation so boy stop crying.
Hero of a war such a man so brave.
A Medal's worth nothing when you're lying in your grave.

Do you know the pain.
Marching into history Marching into war.
Can you feel the shame.
Marching into misery you function as a whore.

Warfair, warfair
5 o'clock in the morning and they shout out your name.
But they don't really care 'cause you all look the same.
Now this is the army and we train to kill.
Our job is to give you that fighting will.

So get off your knees and stand straight like a man.
Do I have to tell you twice to make you understand.
Freedom has a price and that price is blood.
So chase the motherfucker right down in the mud.

Do you know the pain.
Marching into history Marching into war.
Can you feel the shame.
Marching into misery you function as a whore.

Warfair, warfair, warfair, warfair
Ignore all your feelings just go all the way.
If you don't then death is the price you have to pay.
This ain't peace and love no man this is war.
Don't even dare to ask what you're fighting for.

Just search and destroy never question a lie.
You don't want to bite the bullet boy you don't want to die.
Don't try to tell me that you couldn't kill a man.
That's a load of fucking bullshit boy I know you can.

Do you know the pain.
Marching into history Marching into war.
Can you feel the shame.
Marching into misery you function as a whore.

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"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
