A little boy from under the ground
He said, "Girl, won't you come on down
To my way of thinking?
California is sinking
It won't be long now"

Don't ask me where I've been (way down)
Don't ask me where I've been (way down)
Don't ask me where I've been (way down)
Don't ask me where I've been (way down)

All of my loves, they're gathering dust
To the woods with my cold heart, he is gone
His eyes were like fire
I burst like a star

Don't ask me where I've been (way down)
Don't ask me where I've been (way down)
Don't ask me where I've been (way down)
Don't ask me where I've been (way down)

A little boy from under the ground
He said, "Girl, you're mine now
And you're turning away from this burning
It's all over now"

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Underground king
Only heard and not seen
Therefore, I exist in the deepest of your dreams
No exaggeration
You trapped in my infatuation
I'm like a wiretapping, strapping your imagination
Years of love, tears of blood
You was up the club, like beers and drugs
Now I'm trapped in limbo with your golden fist symbol
See the soul?
Use my eyes for a window
Only death, I can escape from this loneliness
The assault of your love is felonious
It was the kiss that broke my narcissist
Still, I roam this earth, like the Prince of Darkness

Don't ask me where I've been (way down)
Don't ask me where I've been (way down)
Don't ask me where I've been (way down)
Don't ask me where I've been (way down)

    Still, I run this earth like the prison ??

    Still I roam this Earth, like the prince of darkness

    According to Barbie Hatch's MySpace page, this song is about a girl who is seduced by/falls in love with The Devil. There seem to be a fair number of songs on NASA's album with religious undertones.

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"

Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
