Death echoing in the distance
silence, ignorance, oh sweet bliss

Now curl your hand into a fist
turn your anger to happiness
my friend why did you come to this
oh my friend, my sweet bliss

Laughter, anger, and all in between
all those that aren't seen
I come now on wounded knee
what is happiness is now misery
I come now on wounded knee
to tell you what you mean to me
you are my only love, my only history

Now curl your hand into a fist
turn your anger to happiness
my friend why did you come to this
oh my friend, my sweet bliss

One last chance to sell my soul to you
fuck that you hate me too

Now curl your hand into a fist
turn your anger to happiness
my friend why did you come to this
oh my friend, my sweet bliss

My love
my life
and everything tonight

death
love
never forget...I'm here

    Ok,this song is kinda complex,but it is really easy once you look at it in a certain point of view.

    "Death echoing in the distance silence,ignorance,oh sweet bliss" meaning that there had been a murder,and the one that committed the murder wouldnt confess,making things worse for everyone."

    "Laughter, anger, and all in between all those that aren't seen I come now on wounded knee what is happiness is now misery I come now on wounded knee to tell you what you mean to me you are my only love, my only history" This is referring to the person who was murderd,telling how he lost,yet gained everything when he lost her

    "Now curl your hand into a fist turn your anger to happiness my friend why did you come to this oh my friend, my sweet bliss"Tellimg how he got back at the guy for killing the person he lost

    "My love my life and everything tonight

    death love never forget...I'm here" Telling how she is still in his heart after she died. Well,this is 100% complete Enjoi ^^

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/

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.

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.
