L'hémorragie de tes désirs
S'est éclipsée sous l'azur bleu dérisoire
Du temps qui se passe
Contre duquel on ne peut rien

Être ou ne pas être
Telle est la question sinusoïdale
De l'anachorète
Hypocondriaque

Mais tu dis (mais tu dis)
Que le bonheur est irréductible
Et je dis (et il dit)
Que ton espoir n'est pas si désespéré
À condition d'analyser
Que l'absolu ne doit pas être annihilé
Par l'illusoire précarité de nos amours
Destituées
Et vice et versa
Et vice et versa

Il faut que tu arriveras
À laminer tes rancœurs dialectiques
Même si je suis con
Vaincu que c'est très difficile

Mais comme moi, dis-toi
Qu'il est tellement plus mieux
D'éradiquer les tentacules de la déréliction
Et tout deviendra clair

Mais tu dis (mais tu dis)
Que le bonheur est irréductible
Et je dis (et il dit)
Que ton espoir n'est pas si désespéré
À condition d'analyser
Que l'absolu ne doit pas être annihilé
Par l'illusoire précarité de nos amours
Destituées
Et vice et versa
Et vice et versa

D'où venons nous? Où allons nous?
J'ignore de le savoir
Mais ce que je n'ignore pas de le savoir
C'est que le bonheur
Est à deux doigts de tes pieds
Et que la simplicité réside dans l'alcôve
Bleue et jaune et mauve et insoupçonnée
De nos rêveries
Mauves et bleues et, et jaunes et pourpres
Et paraboliques
Et vice et versa

Mais tu dis (mais tu dis)
Que le bonheur est irréductible
Et je dis (et il dit)
Que ton espoir n'est pas si désespéré
À condition d'analyser
Que l'absolu ne doit pas être annihilé
Par l'illusoire précarité de nos amours (destitu)
Et qu'il ne faut pas cautionner
L'irréalité
Sous les aspérités absentes
Et désenchantées (desti)
De nos pensées iconoclastes
Et désoxydées (des)
Par nos désirs excommuniés
De la fatalité
Destituée
Et vice et versa
Et vice et versa

Et vice et versa

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"

Dreamwalker
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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
