Kaze no koe o kitta
Yume no tsuzuki o shiritakute
Dare mo oshiete wa kurenai
Mune ga akaku somatta...

Kimi dake ni wa wakatteite hoshii
Kaeranakereba ikenai koto o...

Kono doko mademo tsuzuku shiroi daichi wa tooku
Mou harisakebu koe wa dare nimo todokanai

Kono karada no itami o kakusu you ni
Sora kara no yasashisa ni dakare...

Sona hitomi ni utsuru tsuki wa kirei de
Tatoe yoru ga owaranakutemo

Kono doko mademo tsuzuku shiroi daichi wa tooku
Mou harisakebu koe wa dare nimo todokanai

Kono doko mademo tsuzuku shiroi daichi ni fukaku
Mata ochiteyuku boku wa dare nimo iyasenai

Sono chiisa na karada o tsusumu you ni
Sekirei no yasashisa ni dakara...

Sora kara no yasashisa to tomoni nemutte
Daichi no nukumori ni dakare...

    It refers to a certain kind of bird...("seki-ray") I forgot which. >.< But there's a special habit about its migratorial pattern; I think it has something to do with that (I found a translated version a long time ago...I should look it up again O_O)

    The Ainu are a minority Japanese people who live in Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan. In their creation tale, the wagtail acts a servant of Kamui, the creator god. The wagtail is a cute little seaside bird who's generally viewed as tiny, weak, and even crippled. But it's faithful and does its work despite being such a poor little thing, eventually even physically creating the land all by it's little self. Basically, the wagtail is representative of something or someone who is not strong themselves, but through its giving heart manages to help others a great deal.

    Translation:

    I heard the voice of the wind I want to know the rest of the dream No one will tell me My chest was smeared red...

    I want only you to understand Why I must return...

    Far off in this endlessly continuing white earth My voice that's crying out can no longer reach anyone

    Like it's concealing this body's pains I'm embraced by kindness from the sky...

    The moon reflected in those eyes is pretty Even as the night is not finished

    Far off in this endlessly continuing white earth My voice that's crying out can no longer reach anyone

    Deeply in this endlessly continuing white earth I'm still falling and cannot be healed by anyone

    Like being enveloped in that small body I'm embraced by the wagtail's kindness...

    I lie with the kindness from the sky And am embraced by the earth's warmth...

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
