how could i fill myself with nothing? got a drink from the tap makes my insides burn with nothing, scrape the bottom of the can i was hoping but it's not enough, staring at the walls and breathing in, i wish that i could live on air and music, i never thought that i could starve in my own home, i need fuel. how could i eat all of what i don't have? cause i need rest, nothing here but i look again, i gotta get out of this cause i can't stand this empty house, it's all right it's all we got, it's all right

    It's nothing to do with 'filters' as the song is acutally called 'Eating The Filler'. It's just about being desperate for something, he mentions food and eating, but it could be a hunger for anything. The title confuses me too, the only thing that I can think of is that he's so hungry, he's eating the sealent (filler) around his bath! Maybe i'm just crazy too.

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.
