• Hardly education/ All them books I didn't read/ They just sat there on my shelf/ Looking much smarter than me - "Education", Modest Mouse
• And I don't understand why I sleep all day/ And I start to complain that there's no rain/ And all I can do is read a book to stay awake/ And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape - "No Rain", Blind Melon
• You take the pieces of the dreams that you had/ 'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going/ You cut them up and spread them out on the floor/ You're full of hope as you begin rearranging - "The Lovers are Losing", Keane
• Tell my sister that I miss her/ Tell my brother that it gets much easier - "Laughing With a Mouth Full of Blood", St. Vincent

Okay, so these lyrics don't all provide advice exactly...
