Oh you sad one
Playing the Angel
Isn't so easy where you're from
Oh you wild one
Devil's companion
You won't stay satisfied for long
I don't want you to change anything you do
I don't want you to be someone else for me
Oh you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun
Oh you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun
I don't want you to change anything you do
I don't want you to be someone else for me
Stay as you are, the Darkest Star
Shining for me majestically
Playing the Angel
Isn't so easy where you're from
Oh you wild one
Devil's companion
You won't stay satisfied for long
I don't want you to change anything you do
I don't want you to be someone else for me
Oh you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun
Oh you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun
I don't want you to change anything you do
I don't want you to be someone else for me
Stay as you are, the Darkest Star
Shining for me majestically

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”
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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
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.
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.
verse 1-3 : This might be referring to the fact that most people are miserable and sad in there lifes and they try to act like saintly people "playing the angel", and also when he says its easy, he probably means that it is easier to wear a false mask then be your real you.
verse 4-6 : Might be referring to people trying to be satisfied doing "bad" things for satisfaction like drugs,stealing,violence etc, and this might be in reference to Dave's addiction and he himself knowing that the drugs didnt satisfy him for long.
verse 7-8 : He wants people to remain as they are without them being someone else, like wearing a mask and being false as most people do.
verse 9-11 : Oh you dark one, eternal outsider, this might be the first reference to someone who is really being as who he is, but since he is being a real person he has been caught in society's web to destroy his individuality and he keeps spinning in it without any direction since he is who he is.
verse 12-14 : This part is contradictory, it might be a subtle way to show peoples contradictory nature which is, people being blind to reality and thus acting kind and gentle when really seeing the world in a different point of view. Probably meaning that they are acting just to fit in and not be harmed by society since they know its a "loaded gun".
verse 15-16 : same as 7 and 8
verse 17-19 : stay as you are your real you, even if you are dark and not being accepted by most of the people but you will be accepted by people who prefer to show there individuality and be themselves and there shining nature only shines for people who see that they are real and not people wearing false masks to hide there nature.
verse 20-21: same as 7 and 8
