You've always been runnin' from some thing or another
But your fear has never had such a name
You let your problems linger
And always point the finger
Cause' there's always someone else who's to blame
But now it's not so fun, it's got you on the run
Like the barrel of a gun's at your head
And now the moment's fadin'
There's no need for hesitatin'
Cause' if you do you just might end up dead

Did you think that this would make everything right?
Did you know the price you pay is your own life?
And as you're screaming out to me to make things right, tonight
How will you end your pain?

And now you need a fixin' cause' you've got a bad addiction
And it's always screaming out for some more
You're acting like a junkie
On your back it is the monkey
As you sell your body just for the score
But now what will you do
When the choice is up to you
How will you choose to end all your pain?
But for you the only answer
Is to give in to the cancer as you shove it right back into your vein

Did you think that this would make everything right?
Can't you see the price you pay is your own life
And as you're screaming out to me to make things right, tonight
How will you end your pain?

Take a look at what you're doing
Can't you see the consequenses that have lead to your ruin?
Though I've tried and I've tried my dear
The situation's ending is clear
It's so sad to hear you say
That you fear your life is slipping away
You don't know what to do
But the answers are inside
It all comes down to you

Did you think that this would make everything right?
Can't you see the price you pay is your own life
And as you're screaming out to me to make things right, tonight
How will you end your pain?

    This song is obviously about a drug addiction

    It also touches on prostitution ("As you sell your body just for the score").

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
