Well I don't know what to say
Because there's truth to what you say
I know it kills you I'm this way
There's something different every day

Could it be that
I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could it be that
My habit is to find a place to hide
Could it be that
Sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could it be that
I'm only being me?

Not easy living in my mind
A little peace is hard to find
My every thought is undermined
By all the history inside

Could it be that
I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could it be that
My habit is to find a place to hide
Could it be that
Sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could it be that
I'm only being me?

I know I hear the words you said
Over and over again
I just can't get them through my head
There's just too many voices
Must be like living with the dead
Waiting for me to begin
To do the things I have said
And for this I'm sorry
So there's some truth to what you say

Could it be that
I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could it be that
My habit is to find a place to hide
Could it be that
Sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could it be that
I'm only being me?

    I agree with bascially everyone above. He does seem to talk about his childhood alot..There could be some of that in this song...but of course thats not what its all about..Bad childhood usually gives a person insecure feelings and such..

    Im listening to this song now..hehehe

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.

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.

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.
