This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
[Refrain]
Days Pass and
Time Goes on and on
You might think my skin
was strong enough
but there's something you don't understand
I'm porcelain
I'm porcelain
You know that if I could
You know that sky looks over the sea
I don't think there's one thing in this world
that'll make you notice me
you can wield that sword in any direction you damn well please
you don't understand that my heart is in your hands
and I'm beggin you not to
squeeze
Please don't Squeaze
[Verse 1]
I was ruined in the seventh grade
the pain never changed and went away
the memories ingrained like it was yesterday
They're Tellin me I'm crazed
because I blessed her name
A steady Gaze
to sweat her frame
If life was just a play
then she was centre stage
Sent her letter pages on a daily basis
That her friends passed
So if she asked there's no way to trace this
She was the reigning queen of Junior high
and I was faceless
Painting things on bracelets
And even looked graceful in plaided braces
I hate to say this but my aim was wasted
so I trained my heart for seven years
but she remained in basics
leading the same parade of babes to places
swearing I held a space in her heart
but every semester she barely could place me
yet I waited and displayed my patience
even ignored the statements of positive advice
and the cases of shaky situations
but she never associated me to hit relations
with baited breath I was still a breakage
like procelain
[Refrain]
Days Pass and
Time Goes on and on
You might think my skin
was strong enough
but there's something you don't understand
I'm porcelain
I'm porcelain
[verse 2]
With my hormones racin
praying for a date on summer vacation
around the time when your body is under renovation
you know when nothin really fits
and the girls get vulgar
start lookin for older affiliates
I held a silly wish in my mind
that she's willingly kiss these lips
But I won't get frisky
I get the feeling she dissed me
I'm still in a risky position
itchin to head a decision
I must up the ambition
and make the proposition
desperation became my religion
the same way you envision
cynics findin jesus caged in a prison
Visiting hours consisted of English lit and diction
History quizzes on christians and mr Richard Nixon
Transfixed on her smile
just like the other 50 guys she hypnotised
I guess I'm another stickler for pretty eyes
I minimised my obsession
never made the confession
even evaded her presence at the graduation procession
it was a decision I later regretted
wonderin what I coulda said
and would itta swept her away if I'd said it
step and repeat and edit
my thoughts clashed
but I regained my lost chance
the very day we crossed paths again
I revelled in the opportunity
asked her to go dancin
baskin in this confidence that was new to me
and it worked beautifully
a wild night became a quiet ride home
as I broke the silence her eyes roamed
seven years of frustration and here her ears felt abrasion
as I laced her with my tale of lost years in anticipation
Her reaction was a face of fakeness
told me she was flattered but within her tone lack of any amazement
It seems she heard it all before
I realised then her popularities what I wanted her for
I tried to be strong as she hopped out the door
but even the hardest hearts break when they're dropped on the floor
Like Porcelain
[Refrain]
Days Pass and
Time Goes on and on (that's love)
You might think my skin(so hard to let go sometimes)
was strong enough
but there's something you don't understand (but you gotta move on)
I'm porcelain (you can break your own heart)
I'm porcelain
Days Pass and
Time Goes on and on (uh-uh)
You might think my skin
was strong enough (not strong enough)
but there's something you don't understand
I'm porcelain
I'm porcelain
Cos in the end
Days Pass and (just little boys with scarred hearts from girls who think they older than they really are)
Time Goes on and on(just little boys with scarred hearts from girls who think they older than they really are)
You might think my skin (just little girls with scarred hearts from boys who think they older than they really are)
was strong enough
but there's something you don't understand (just little Kids with scarred hearts from other little kids)
I'm porcelain
I'm porcelain
Days Pass and
Time Goes on and on
You might think my skin
was strong enough
but there's something you don't understand
I'm porcelain
I'm porcelain
You know that if I could
You know that sky looks over the sea
I don't think there's one thing in this world
that'll make you notice me
you can wield that sword in any direction you damn well please
you don't understand that my heart is in your hands
and I'm beggin you not to

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
i dont think i have ever heard anyone say the word "squeeze" more beautifully than he does.
