Oh no, what have I done,
all of these stitches have split one by one
Oh now I see the design,
the intricate framework to which i align

All my anguish and my happiness,
but I got not time for this mess

Come down, come down with me,
to check on the ashes of my history
I can't leave them alone,
but sometimes I wish they would rot down below
But on the contrary,
these fires flourish in me.
Oh no

And I lay just 'fore I wake
and you catch the sun and throw it down on my face
I know you're plotting my course,
still influencing my dreams silver seahorse
I feel the mixture in me,
fire and water musical ubiquity

And I know you're never quite there,
satisfaction eluding you like clean air
One day I'll float on the tide,
silver seahorse on a string mirrors the sky
I'll be alone on the sea,
waiting for the sky to engulf me.

But out here alone on the night,
my silver seahorse reflecting the light
I flash the ray 'cross the sea,
hoping this beam still connects you to me
I know the tides changing my course,
but I'm still the one who believes in my silver seahorse

But on the whole,
or on the contrary,
it's not alright, alright.
And falling through defects
and consequential loss,
it's not alright, alright.

I lay just 'fore I wake
and you catch the sun and throw it down on my face
I know you're plotting my course,
still influencing my dreams silver seahorse
I feel the mixture in me,
fire and water musical ubiquity
I feel the mixture in me,
fire and water musical ubiquity...

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue

“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.
