I can't stand the pressure.
I don't like where this is going.
I need to find a way out.
I'm sick of this lifestyle.
Cracks will soon be showing.
My time's been spent.
I must relent and move on.
Time will show,
I know what I know.
It meant something but that was years ago.
Happy birthday, no one cares.
As long as I'm still breathing,
No one notices. Inside,
I'm breaking, I'm falling,
My dreams are colliding with reality.
Things won't be the way they were.
I don't like where this is going.
I need to find a way out.
I'm sick of this lifestyle.
Cracks will soon be showing.
My time's been spent.
I must relent and move on.
Time will show,
I know what I know.
It meant something but that was years ago.
Happy birthday, no one cares.
As long as I'm still breathing,
No one notices. Inside,
I'm breaking, I'm falling,
My dreams are colliding with reality.
Things won't be the way they were.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
"As long as I'm still breathing, No one notices inside. I'm breaking, I'm falling, My dreams are colliding with reality." that right there makes me fall in love with this song. i totally feel what it's talking about right there. the song is really meaningful, or i think so anyways. a birthday is normally seen as a time to celebrate, but in this case it was just another magnification of the hell this guy was going through in his life. i think everyone has moments in their life like that. where you should be happy, everyone thinks you are and have no reason not to be, but for some reason it's the worst time of your life. i dunno, but that's what i get out of this song. i kinda wish more people knew about it and the band, i'm the only one i know of that knows of them. it's sad that some of the best bands never get appreciated like they should. i guess that's part of art, pouring your heart out regardless of whether or not you ever make and impact on the world.... but all i can say is after hearing this song "things wont be the way they were".
