Something better now, something better now awaits.
This wasn't the end, with you we carry on.
Well I never had a chance, never had a chance, to tell you.
To tell you your friendship was better than anything else.
Why?
The ones that we needed, the ones that we're losing.
Why doesn't this make sense at all?
I hope you're listening.
Why?
The ones that we needed, the ones that we're losing all of.
The ones that we're losing, all of.

Now I sit alone, now I sit alone, in pain.
Wishing you were here. you had so much going on.
Well I never had a chance, never had the chance, to tell you.
Your friendship was better than anything else.
Why?
The ones that we needed, the ones that we're losing.
Why doesn't this make sense at all?
Oh I hope you're listening.
Why?
The ones that we needed, the ones that we're losing all of.
The ones that we're losing, all of.
The one
Does this make sense to you?

Something better now, something better now awaits.
This wasn't the end, with you we carry on.
Well I never had a chance, never had a chance, to tell you.
To tell you your friendship was better than anything else.
Why?

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Blue
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.
Album art
Amazing
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.
