This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Lost in myself I cannot feel
Control I aim I stumble and fall
Believing you that's why I loose
Emotionless I'm falling apart
Reaching for you but falling through
Confused I am I'm loosing ground
Embraced by you in my own mind
Bolding on to the sweet beliefs
Calling out my own reality screaming out all my fears
Overwhelming by all insanity sacrificed a thousand tears
Calling out in pain my weaknesses fighting to get back whole
Overwhelmed by madness lost in the darkness of my soul
Woke up alone but in my heart
You were there whispering my name
Want to go back to the same old place
Where we belonged until death do us part
I close my eyes and numb my heart
Wish for sleep but only face my truth
Embraced by you in my own mind
Holding on to the sweet beliefs
Calling out my own reality screaming out all my fears
Overwhelming by all insanity sacrificed a thousand tears
Calling out in pain my weaknesses fighting to get back whole
Overwhelmed by madness lost in the darkness of my soul
Control I aim I stumble and fall
Believing you that's why I loose
Emotionless I'm falling apart
Reaching for you but falling through
Confused I am I'm loosing ground
Embraced by you in my own mind
Bolding on to the sweet beliefs
Calling out my own reality screaming out all my fears
Overwhelming by all insanity sacrificed a thousand tears
Calling out in pain my weaknesses fighting to get back whole
Overwhelmed by madness lost in the darkness of my soul
Woke up alone but in my heart
You were there whispering my name
Want to go back to the same old place
Where we belonged until death do us part
I close my eyes and numb my heart
Wish for sleep but only face my truth
Embraced by you in my own mind
Holding on to the sweet beliefs
Calling out my own reality screaming out all my fears
Overwhelming by all insanity sacrificed a thousand tears
Calling out in pain my weaknesses fighting to get back whole
Overwhelmed by madness lost in the darkness of my soul

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
I've been listening to the song more recently. To me it feels like she's all alone and the only company she has is herself or a person she made up in her head (possible a personality disorder) that she holds on to like a crutch just to get through life.
Lost in myself I cannot feel Control I aim I stumble and fall Believing you that's why I loose Emotionless I'm falling apart
She's talking about the loss of feelings she thinks she doesn't have anymore and thinks she can't feel the pain anymore. Yet believing in her imaginary friend (or other self) she keeps falling into pieces because there isn't really anyone there to catch her when she falls.
Reaching for you but falling through Confused I am I'm loosing ground Embraced by you in my own mind Bolding on to the sweet beliefs
She tries to reach inside herself (her other self or in this case for me it's her heart) but fails to hold on and falls down where there is nothing to stop her. Her other self holds on to her, choosing to fall with her and let her believe in her 'sweet beliefs' instead of facing the world.
Calling out my own reality screaming out all my fears Overwhelming by all insanity sacrificed a thousand tears Calling out in pain my weaknesses fighting to get back whole Overwhelmed by madness lost in the darkness of my soul
The world on the other hand, is calling her out by using her fears as bait, she's overwhelmed by the truth that she can't accept and has no more tears to offer. Her other self is falling apart and using her weaknesses to get her to wake up in order to merge with her and become one again or fall into the darkness of her soul.
Woke up alone but in my heart You were there whispering my name Want to go back to the same old place Where we belonged until death do us part
She wakes up and can't find her other half, who appears in her heart and whispers her name (their name as they are now one again). Now she feels she can move on, go back to her happier days with her other half until death takes her away.
I close my eyes and numb my heart Wish for sleep but only face my truth Embraced by you in my own mind Holding on to the sweet beliefs
Until then she refuses to see anything beyond her own blinding beliefs and closes her heart to keep the pain from breaking her again. She wishes for 'sleep' (to be die in peace and never wake up again) but must face the challenges in her life first by also accepting the truth she couldn't accept before. Just when she feels she wants to give in her other self holds her from within her mind as if to reassure her and they hold on to what is left of those beliefs.
