I have an angel in a hourglass the sands of time they separate us
no longer tangible yet so far away, if love is real.... will she be mine someday?


there comes a time when you realize all your nightmares have become reality
when all your dreams have been postponed others achieve what you were fighting for and you've never known


how does it feel to be the one at the bottom of the trench?
a pit of despair never ceases to consume you
the nothing is something and it eats you from inside
but nothing can keep me from my angel in an hourglass


deprived of what was meant to be
living in a world so treacherous and empty
I wish you could feel my pain because without you i would be dead
and my dreams are all that keeps me from my final resting bed


climbing up this ladder of despair only to fall down and break your neck
it ascends into the sky only the bravest warriors attempt the climb
it seems to have no end starring up from a mortal world
to test true love through perseverance is she waiting for me on the other side?


how does it feel to be so alone
that you talk to yourself as though you were someone else?
with no response its such a lonely world
my angel abducted by darkness is now lost in time


were the messages ever sent? will they reach you in time?
maybe someday you'll be home forever to revive this heart of mine
I stand alone through the sands of time until every last grain has passed
its time to go where the hours are forever and be united with my angel on the other side

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
