So it's over now, finally
I'm beneath,
And I'm crawling out, on my knees

I can hear what you said
Echoing in my head, and I'm losing myself
Now I'm cold on the floor
And I don't care anymore, 'cause it's over
It's over

I can feel, I can feel

Like it's real, Like it's real

I can feel, I can feel

I can finally feel
So I guess it's over now
And you broke me down somehow
Now I'm faultering
I can see
I can can be,
I can be that
Shut you out

I can feel, I can feel

Like it's real, Like it's real

I can feel, I can feel

Like it's real, Like it's real

So I'm leaving now, somehow
Underneath
As I slowly drown, finally

I can hear what you said
Echoing in my head, and I'm losing myself

I can feel, I can feel

Like it's real, Like it's real

I can feel, I can feel

I can finally feel
So I guess it's over now
And you broke me down somehow
Now I'm faultering
I can see
I can can be,
I can be that
Shut you out

I can feel, I can feel

Like it's real, Like it's real

I'm shaking deep inside
I'm having trouble breathing
I need somewhere to hide
Away 'cause I am healing
I'm having trouble breathing
Tommorrow I am healing
So I guess it's over now
And you broke me down somehow
Now I'm faultering
I can see
I can can be,
I can be that
Shut you out

I can feel, I can feel

Like it's real, Like it's real

I can feel, I can feel

Like it's real, Like it's real

    I think this song is about when you like someone but he/she is someone that you can never have (for any reason) and it comes to a point when you give up fighting and decide to keep him/her just as a memory of an imposible love and remembering every word makes it harder to forget (I can hear what you said Echoing in my head, and I'm losing myself) and the breakdown is when you try to start again and heal the wounds inside ... pretty tragic but amazing and beautiful song.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
