Went to where the people were on a Saturday night
Seems like it always seems
Where I go I want to leave
I thought we were doing fine with our lives
There are people who will tell you
There is always something better

If you don't know or care you'll be alright
I heard it's modern to be stupid
You don't need to talk to look good

I surprised myself as my mouth started speaking
There is nothing left of my nerves
As I lean over to ask her

Pardon the intrusion
Could we leave before it gets bad?
I might smash up all these windows
And set fire to the curtains
Until it goes on and eats it with its blue and red orange
Until the fire burns and eats it with its blue and red orange

If you don't know or care you'll be alright
I heard it's modern to be stupid
You don't need a thought to look good

Pardon the intrusion
Could we leave before it gets bad?
I might smash up all the windows
And set fire to the curtains

Went to where the people were on a Saturday night
Seems like it always seems
Where I go I want to leave
I surprised myself as my mouth started speaking
There is nothing left of my nerves
As I lean over to ask her

Pardon the intrusion
Could we leave before it gets bad?
I might smash up all the windows
And set fire to the curtains

Until it goes on and eats it with its blue and red orange
Until the fire burns and eats it with its blue and red orange

    i think the song is how fake people are they hide behind mask (holloween) that its hard to connect with people and when you do get the nerve to make contact you never know what you are going to get (holloween/trick or treat)

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
