Twisting
Turning
Crashing
Burning
All this
Just to
Break me
Down

You don't know me
You don't see me
You don't own me cause I don't care
But I'm still here
Patiently waiting for you to disappear
Is this my cross to bear

Faceless
Faking
Pushing
Taking
All this
Just to
Bring me
Down

You don't know me
You don't see me
You don't own me cause I don't care
But I'm still here
Patiently waiting for you to disappear
Is this my cross to bear

You don't know me
You don't own me 'cause I'm aware
And I'm still here
Patiently waiting for you to disappear
Is this my cross to bear
I'm still here
Reluctantly waiting for you to interfere
This is my cross to bear

    This whole Album seems to have some sort of religious correlation.... and on some of the background text in the booklet their are biblical verses i believe from the book of exodus........ This song is one of stainds most defiant songs in recent memory.... Aaron Lewis must have either honed his story writing skills and stopped writing about things going wrong in his life and started writing what could be called stories or he must have been going through some pretty tough times while writing this album.....

    Great song

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.

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.
