Waiting to Die (feat. East Bay Ray)

Hed PE

I don't give a fuck!
I'm a hitman, I'm a stalker, I'm a solider, I'm a street walker
Fuck you!
You don't know me , I'm a freak
Never slow down, never sleep
I get so high!
Don't play with me, see me, stay away from me
Just let me ride!
No you can't fade me,
I ain't trying to hear suck that you saying to me

Everybody dies

Just let me
There is nothing wrong with me
I'm not trying to see things your way
I'm not lost, I'm not drowning, I'm not lost
I'm just waiting, waiting to die

I drink too much!
See me fall down, see me laugh, see me fuck up, see me laugh
I'll bust yo lip!
Keep talking shit, guard your grill
A Killer will fire at will
I f*** the system
That first fuckeed me
I question the authority to kill a minority
Fuck you!
No, fuck you, I'm a freak,
I ain't trying to hear suck that you saying to me

Everybody dies

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
Album art
Amazing
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.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
