I get into the car
Turn the radio up real far
To shut out the noise
So I can hear my voice

There's a party on down the street
But nobody invited me
'Cause I got a gig
Babysitting my uncle's kids
Why me
Whoa is me

Don't they know that
I'm a hip hop queen
And a rock and roll dream
It's all bling bling
I'm the star of the scene
Yeah check me out, see what I'm all about
I'm the one that you want
And the one you can't have
The girl that you call
That doesn't ever call abck
Just look at me, I've got everything
But then I woke up

I was lying on the couch
Drool coming out my mouth
Turned on the T.V.
Dr. Phil won't you please fix me

Waiting for the phone to ring
Flipping through a magazine
Why doesn't he call
Guess I'm the loser down the hall

Why me
I just want to sleep

back to chorus 1

But then I woke up
I like living in a dream
It's every thing it's supposed to be
It's a holiday for me

It's all just kickin' in
And this is where I begin
Just being me
It's okay to be me

But it's fun to be a hip hop queen
A rock and roll dream
It's all bling bling yeah baby ca-ching
Come check me out
I'm bringing down the house
I'm the one that you want
You know I'm heaven sent
I'm a little Lynyrd Skynyrd
A little 50 Cent
Just look at me
I've got evrything
But then I woke up
I woke up
I woke up
I woke up

back to chorus 1

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
