I love the lyrics that say “Sold my time so I can get paid.” Ain't that the truth? We trade our time, sell our time to do work for someone, so we can get paid and make money. I've never thought of it that way, but it's another perspective to consider, when you consider that people usually work till they're old. We got to get off that train as soon as possible IMO.
Anyway, sorry for going on a tangent just now. Hope you enjoy the song!
Sold my time so I can get paid
Spent it on some shots and champagne, girls liked it
Happiness was trynna pretend
No one told me or showed me
I shouldn't keep pondering
Am I meant to be, am I not meant to be
Something so much more?
Am I meant to be, am I not meant to be
Something so much more? ♪ ♫ ♪
And you be the reason
I'll be the rhyme
We've both got way too much ahead
to worry 'bout what we've left behind
So you keep the beat
We'll stay on time
And fill the pages with just how both our worlds collide

Awesome rock cover of the original from Paula Abdul!
Straight up now, tell me
Do you really want to love me forever?
(Oh-oh-oh)
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up now, tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together?

Another great song from Mayonnaise. “Pag Wala Ka” translates to “When you're gone” in English. However, before you think this is a song about missing someone who's gone, it's actually a bitter song. The gist of the song is really “I'm happy when you're gone” haha.
Love this track. I believe this is what they call “spoken word” music? This, coming from a country turned metal rock star. I love the defiance and self-belief emanating from this song.
Somebody wrote, “Quit” on a napkin
I took it out of my tip jar, laughin'
Like, “Damn, what a asshole, man”
I'm just a flat broke boy with a guitar askin'
For anybody to pay attention
It's not like anybody paid admission
I was just wishin' somebody would listen
Give me a shot, and I ain't talkin' 'bout Canadian Mist then

So before you choose hate, get to know a guy
He might end up a poet that was born to fly
He might end up a man of the people
Damn what a scene, a redneck glorified
With a stack of awards on a napkin
A bored little bastard wrote to try to warn a guy
Maybe I'm just petty 'cause they're just metal
Wait, then again, so am I...
If I get down, You pick me up from the ground
You give me love that don't give out
Giving no conditions, You lift me up and up again
Now, no matter who surrounds
I'll let my hallelujah get loud like a freight train
Sunshine all day, I'll lift You up and up again ♪ ♫ ♪
A collaboration between Boys Like Girls, a pop rock pop punk band, and TWICE, a super popular K-Pop girl group, is something I never saw coming! But damn this song is so good.
Oh, I've been caught under the spot, spot, spotlight
I wanna cave in to the dark side calling to me
The ending's obvious, I know it's not right
I can't stop me, can't stop me (no, woah-woah, hey)
You pull me over to the red, red, red line
I can't escape it, you're my weakness and you're my vice
In the shadows, you're the only highlight
I can't stop me, can't stop me (no, woah-woah) ♪ ♫ ♪
In this empty bed
Where I'm all alone
I've been such a mess
Need a one way ticket
Anywhere you are
Is where I want to go
You are my address
I don't care how I get it
I need a one way ticket

Super catchy tune and if you're not paying attention, you might think this was a happy song, but it's the other way around.
I'm walking through the valley of lies
I see a coffin, perfect fit for my size
They won't open, got silky stitch in my eye
I'm hurting and I lost my heart in the sky
On, and on, and on (And on)
Keep fighting, Armageddon
Now things are getting rough
I never thought you'd be a lesson
Go, you go, you go
How come I never see ya?
I'm really getting close to giving up
I hate the feeling
