Well I'm awake under this blanket of fear
Go outta my sight
None of the people I see be lying
Now I'll be once asleep
I'm awake and I'm dreaming
I believe it's time for the rude awakening

[Chorus]
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like your reality
Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like your reality

I believe the only thing we have to fear is
Fear itself, and the man behind the content
I heard him say: dreamers are becoming endangered species
And I'm aware of the rude awakening

[Chorus]

I'm falling in my dream; I finally hit the ground
I'm falling in my dream; I finally hit the ground
I hit the ground
Because I, I can't keep my mind from going into dark places
â??Cause I, I can't keep my mind, we're going into dark places

[Chorus]

I'm falling in my dream, I finally hit the ground
I'm falling in my dream, I finally hit the ground

    This is an amazing song! It has to be one of the sweetest and sickest songs lyrically on the album. This song and Getting Away With Murder definitely have a really evil, sick feel to them.

    I'm not really too sure what this song is about although I think it might be something to do with politics...he's "awake under the blanket of fear" but everyone else is asleep. Just a thought...

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
