Bottled deep inside me there's an animal
He's clawing at my flesh to get to you
Holding back I keep my actions minimal
While masking all the dirty things I'd like to do

Wide awake at night I'm so far from sleep
Underneath these covers all alone
Do you think of me as nothing more than a freak
Now that my cover is blown

I want you
I'm going crazy
The thought of your body next to mine
Running my fingers across your tan line
Up all night locked in your room
We'll go for hours then sleep 'til noon
It's true, it's true
I want to be inside of you
It's true, it's true
I'm going crazy and I want you

My mind is in the gutter
Your nails caress my back
Close all of the shutters
Lose our clothes and then attack

Tell me what you need
And I'll tell you if we could
Don't want to make you bleed
But sometimes that's what feels good

I want you
I'm going crazy
The thought of your body next to mine
Running my fingers across your tan line
Up all night locked in your room
We'll go for hours then sleep 'til noon
It's true, it's true
I want to be inside of you
It's true, it's true
I'm going crazy and I want you

The feel of your body
The taste of your skin
As close as we can be
I want to be drawn in
Please tell me you're here

The way that you move
The way you undress
The sick attitude
The feel of your breath on my neck
Please tell me it's real

I take a look around
I find myself in your bed
And we could go down
But it's all in my head

I want you
I'm going crazy
The thought of your body next to mine
Running my fingers across your tan line
Up all night locked in your room
We'll go for hours then sleep 'til noon
It's true, it's true
I want to be inside of you
It's true, it's true
I'm going crazy and I want you now

I want you now
I want you now
I want you

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.

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.
