Here I am, still intact
And I should give myself credit for that
But I have cast a stone deep into my throat
Squatting on land, my feet won't reach
The smell of blood and bile and bleach
I need a square foot and a rope

We can weave, we can unravel
We keep on sleeping right through our travel
We can weave, we can unravel
Take our confusion to a much higher level

Spit it up and hand it over
To yet another guild of squalor
Pallid, wheezing, lost all her color
Her dark circles getting darker
He crossed her palm, but nothing seems
To wake her from her shitty dreams
And she's become one more helpless package of doom

The city is especially vindictive tonight
The hitchhiker looks like he's leaving home to murder his wife
Well, it's a proven fact you can't respond to every call for help today
So there she stays, poor little girl

No folks, there's no device
No box of gods to descend
And take this tragedy
Tie up all the loose ends

We can weave, we can unravel
Take our confusion to a much higher level
We can weave, we can unravel
We keep on sleeping right through our travel

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
