You can thank TheCatKing for this, because he's the one who asked me to do a breakdown for Cas's playlist.

Unfortunately some of his songs can't be explained in detail because their reason for inclusion is spoilery for books 2 or 3, but I will discuss what I can :)

PLAYLIST NAME: Prince of Perdition 

SONG ONE: Papaoutai by Stromae

Reason: Okay so this song's title translates basically to "Father where are you?" And if that's not a Cas mood then I don't know what is. He has a lot of daddy issues, which will be a recurring theme with his song selections.

Selected Lyrics: (The song is in French. I don't speak French, so the lyrics I reference are off a translation site. They may be slightly off the literal translation,  but the sentiment is there and that's what matters.)

Tell me where he comes from

Then I would know where I'm going

Mommy says when you look hard enough

You'll always end up finding it

......

Oh my dear father

Tell me where are you hiding?

I must've counted my fingers at least a thousand times

Where are you dad, where are you?

SONG TWO: Chasing Rubies by Hudson Taylor

Reason: So this is "the Maggie song," which is pretty obvious if you read the lyrics. It's about his immediate infatuation with her, how rushed and shallow it is, as well as Cas's awareness of and insecurity with that fact. The instrumentation of the song hs a light playfulness to it that really compliments that feeling. 

Selected Lyrics: 

Take me away to someplace else

Cause I don't wanna see you, with anybody else

And maybe I'm selfish, I don't know

I hardly know you and I don't wanna let you go

......

What if you don't like me?

What if I'm being naive?

Maybe it's love, sure I don't know

I hardly know you and I don't wanna let you go
