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”
Nagareru toki no naka matataku Setsunateki kirameki o
Kono yo no kioku ni kizamu tame Arukitsuzukeru Believer
Dare ni mo mirenai yume o mite
Iranai mono wa subete suteta
Yuzurenai omoi Kono mune ni yadoshite
Mada riaru idearu no hazama ni ite
Gisei no kase ni ashi o torarete mo
Afureru shoudou osaekirenai
Tsuyoku motomeru kokoro ga aru kara
“Itsuwari” “Osore” “Kyoshoku” “Urei”
Samazama na negateibu ni
Torawareru hodo yowaku wa nai
Kodoku mo shiranu trickster
Yozora o tsukisasu biru no mure
Hoshi nado mienai sora miage
“Mayoi wa nai ka” to Jibun ni toikakeru
Kono machijuu afureru mono ni mamire
Utsutsu o nukasu you na koto wa nai
Asu e to tsunagaru michi no hate de
Kono te ni tsukamu mono o mitai kara
Mabuta o toji ishiki no umi ni ukande
Omoiegaku Risou o te ni suru sono toki o
Kagiri aru “sei” o kono yo ni uke
Kare yuku dake wa oroka ni hitoshii
Hoka no dare mo ga mochienai mono
“Jibun jishin” to iu na no kesshou e
Kireigoto o tsukitoosu koto
Itsuka fakuto e kawaru
Katakuna ni shinjitsuzuketai
It’s just my faith. The absolute truth.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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

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.
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.
Here's the English Translation:
A momentary sparkle twinkles within the flowing time I'm a Believer who can keep walking so to engrave into this world's memories I had a dream that no one else could have and I threw away everything that I didn't need Thoughts that I can't surrender dwell in my chest Even if I'm still in the rift between reality and ideals and my feet are bound by shackles of sacrifice My overflowing impulse isn't fully repressed because I have a heart that yearns powerfully "Pretense" "Fear" "Vanity" "Grief"; I won't be weak enough To be apprehended by the various negative things; I'm a Trickster who doesn't know loneliness The groups of buildings that pierce the night sky, I look up at the air in which stars and such are invisible And ask myself, "Won't I be lost?" Things like being smeared by those who overflow in this entire city or being infatuated won't happen to me Because at the end of the road that connects to the future, I want to see something that'll grab onto my hand I close my eyes and it surfaces in my sea of consciousness: the moment when I'll get the ideal that I'd pictured To merely receive limited "life" in this world and rot away is equal to being stupid Go toward that which no one else can have- the crystal known as "my oneself" The fact of piercing through the whitewash will turn into the truth someday I want to keep believing in it stubbornly; It's just my faith. The absolute truth. A momentary sparkle twinkles within the flowing time I'm a Believer who can keep walking so to engrave into this world's memories
I think it's about how Light believes he's doing good and really wishes to reach his goal. He can see his perfect world and he sees how people will be happy. He doesn't want to be weak nor does he see himself as weak. He sees the killings of innocents as sacrafices towards a greater good that though hold him down as they were neccessary, but unwarrented deaths, cannot keep him from making the world a better place.
This is a really pretty song. The lyrics just kinda flow, and I like how it picks up in the middle, slows down a bit, and then speeds back up. Also, I love how Nightomea played while wearing fish bowls!

This song is really awesome and it sounds really cool in Deathnote too, it just sorta naturally sounds calming yet it talks about so many things that totally connect with me. The bottom line....this song is freakin' awesome!!!
I have to agree with Kira x Kira...I love this song and the video was cool..I never knew that those were fishbowls on their heads..
This is one of my favourites by Nightmare. It is a song about getting where you want to be with dedication; it's pretty much chasing your ambitions without letting deadweight drag you back down. I can easily connect to that meaning.
