For me it's:

Crossing that bridge, with lessons I've learned
Playing with fire and not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space between me and you.

Prayer for the Dying, by Seal (1994).

Farewell Mona Lisa

Wash it down the drain 
Down the drain 
Wash your smile down 
(Yeah!) 
Wash it down the drain 
Please 
Like animals, destined for fuel or observance 
Our role is clear, never stray far from the path

Everything has an end 
Everything has an end 
Everything must have an end

But what am I supposed to say? 
(What am I supposed to say?) 
Oh, sorry, I guess I forgot 
You think you could tell me again? 
(Please, I don't remember) 
What am I supposed to think? 
(What am I supposed to think?) 
What am I supposed to feel? 
(What am I supposed to feel?)

There's no feeling in this place 
The echoes of the past speak louder than 
Any voice I hear right now 
Don't you ever try to be 
More than you were destined for 
Or anything worth fighting for 
Don't you ever try to be 
More than you were destined for 
Or anything worth fighting for 
There's no feeling in this place 
There's no feeling in this place 
Feeling in this place

What did you expect? 
That we would never leave home, that we would never leave? 
What did you expect? 
That we would never leave home? 
That we would never leave? 
That we would never leave? 
That we would never leave? 
That we would never leave? 
What did you expect from us? 
We're murderers 
Murderers and liars and rapists and thieves 
You should never put your trust in any of us 
There is nothing to gain from this interference

Don't you ever try to be 
More than you were destined for 
Or anything worth fighting for 
There's no feeling in this place

The past speaks louder than anything I hear right now 
The past speaks louder than anything I hear right now

Wow. That could apply to a lot of people or nations at the moment.

When the screaming and thrashing subsides into the melodic, I feel a great sense of euphoria and reassurance wash over me. It certainly does apply to the world at large right now…
