I've thought about it a million times before it takes all my strength just to keep it calm i love to tell myself,just let it breath holding it inside will only help to keep me in each time i close my eyes i see another chain it's one i cant forget,something i cannot break out of i need a second skin,something to hold me up cant seem to get out of this hole ive dug my self right back in just to wake up tells me i must be brave it hiits me like a drug shot into my veins its not as delightful of a pain,immobolizing me almost makes me think im dead i need a second skin something to hold me tough cant do it on my own i want that chance to give every drop thats left in me i need a second skin something i cannot break out of i tell myself just let it breath its a calmness im always searching for but the dirt it gets so heavy it falls above my head seeping from under my feet it just keeps on getting deeper i need a second skin sopmething to hold me tough cant do it on my own sometimes i need just a little more help ive got that chance to give every drop thats left in me i need a second skin something i cannot break free of though no one ever said i'd be easy still ones left to deny the choice that comes between your willingness to survive though your knowing what you stand up against a world set to decieve you need a special strength i've got that second skin i've got that chance to give i've got the only way that i know how to live with it i need a second skin something to hold me tough i need a second skin,something i cannot break out of

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
