So what's with your kind
You scavenge find what makes you
Supreme in design
Accuse you 'cause they had the fun
So differently divine
When my mind goes override
It's so typical to capture anonymity
I choose the crowd to divide

so you see I try I cannot ever displace
You see I'm jaded at times from nowhere leaving this place
So you see me die right in front of your face
You see I'm jaded at times from nowhere leaving this place

They made us with a tool
Then they taught us how to live
We met the candyman
He filled us with his contraband
Then they scared us all away

While your visting your bubble of reality
Salivating at the sound of the bells
I'll be seducing you through your confession
They've been the ones you've known forever
Someone's been lied to with all the rage Caught us dismal
at times we've known forever

And so you see I try I cannot ever displace
You see I'm jaded at times from nowhere leaving this place
So you see me die right in front of your face
You see I'm jaded at times from nowhere leaving this place

You've been denied of supervision
Just a test tube life away
How could you make believe that we've grown through circumcision
When it's right here next to me
Friendships change to time
They'd never let us leave
You took your time so too late
Missing what you've never had
I'll be the only one that knows just how we've been abused

And so you see I try I cannot ever displace
You see I'm jaded at times from nowhere leaving this place
So you see me die right in front of your face
You see I'm jaded at times from nowhere leaving this place

    I think this song is mostly talking about humanity in general, and how we are all conditioned by society more than we know. The part "they made us with the tool" refers to sex, because it is where we all come from, and it's the nature part of us, and the "taught us how to live" part is about being brought up and taught, the nurture part of humanity. If you don't already know, the part about "salivating at the sound of the bells" is reference to the experiments done by the psychologist Pavlov, in which he conditioned dogs to associate food with the ringing of a bell, and eventually he could cause them to salivate simply by ringing a bell. Overall, this is a very scary song when you think of all of the ways that the society we live in twists us to believe.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
