He certainly did earn that reputation.
Brown eyes will you wait for me to follow?
I'm used to letting everybody down
I've seen your face in our shadow
Does it look as pretty in the light
Oh, will you save me from myself?
Will I save you from the rest?
Oh, brown eyes
Save a little something for me too
Full moon is there wisdom in your tide play?
The cold is come and now the love throwing everybody off
Sleep just doesn't taste the same
I'll be waiting till we're side by side once again
Old love how I wish we were an old love
I've survived all this and more
Oh, you're turning everything to dust
And the wind is picking up
Oh, brown eyes
Save a little something for me too
I'm used to letting everybody down
I've seen your face in our shadow
Does it look as pretty in the light
Oh, will you save me from myself?
Will I save you from the rest?
Oh, brown eyes
Save a little something for me too
Full moon is there wisdom in your tide play?
The cold is come and now the love throwing everybody off
Sleep just doesn't taste the same
I'll be waiting till we're side by side once again
Old love how I wish we were an old love
I've survived all this and more
Oh, you're turning everything to dust
And the wind is picking up
Oh, brown eyes
Save a little something for me too

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Light Up The Sky

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Why are all the beautiful lyrics jumbled together in on clusterfuck of a paragraph? Can who ever posted this, some how edit it?
It bothered me so much, I ended up submitting lyric corrections :')
