Well, like I said before
Pay up your money and you ask for more
But there's no reason
Yeah, no reason

I can't say goodbye
Tried all too hard and it made you cry
Yet, I've been cheating
Yeah, I've been cheating

Like before you threw me out the door
And I couldn't see behind me
Like before when I asked for more
I couldn't be myself

Still singin' this song
Baby can't you do me wrong
Music is my food and life
Don't take it away

I want the world to see
I don't care when it will be
There's no doubt
I wanna go to the sun, everyone
Yeah, you start to look old

Sand and sea, will do it endlessly
I will never, turn it away
Well, salty air seagulls everywhere
I wanna live there one day
But I'm still singin' my song
Baby won't you do me wrong
Music is my food and life
Don't take it away

I want the world to see
I'm about
I don't care when it will be
I'm alright
I wanna go to the sun, everyone
I'll tell you what you must do

I want the world to see
I'm about
I don't care when it will be
There's no doubt
I wanna go to the sun, everyone

I don't know what I can do
I wanna go to the sun, everyone
I don't care when it will be
There's no doubt
I wanna go to the sun, everyone
I'll tell you what I must do

I want the world to see
I can't know when it will be
I don't know when it will be
I don't care when it will be
I wanna go to the sun

I don't care when it will be
I want the world to see
I want everyone to see
I want everyone to see
I want everyone to be
What I want to be
I want to be free

    I think this song is about his quest for becoming successful in the music industry. "I wanna go to the sun" means finally "getting there". Music is his life, don't take it away. Finally achieving success, or going to the sun (Isle of Wight or Spain, perhaps from dreary London) is a metaphor for hitting the big time.

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.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
