staring out across the floor
this is what we're fighting for...for you
taste the sweat, get off your knees
it doesn't matter if i scream
because you'll see

that when we play the beat, it's what i live for
it takes everything away from me
so let it be, this is who i am
and it takes everything away from me

there's nothing that i would love more
than to be a part of your scene
i'll take a needle to my skin
and write 'anger is the brand new thing'
its so in

i used to think that we were all the same
but now i see, that your so much better
maybe we're not cut out for your scene.

    yes this song is the best!! (obviously like every other song by kisschasy!!) but as to the meaning, it would appear to about pressure to be like something,but also just about music and how it affects people. (when we play the beat,its what i live for. takes everythign away form me) and yes, there IS a funny bit at the end thats really high and, if you ask me, un-recognisable as saying anything at all, but it IS there!

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.
