"Do you still believe in God?"
Said the Preacher to the astronaut
I heard it's kind of lonesome there
Nothin to talk to but a cold, cold air

Tell me, tell me what was it like?
Did meaning fall from that celestial night?
Did it wrap you up in conversation?
Did it leave you like some ineffible nothin?

Are you feelin alright? right, right.
In the blink of a falshing, blinding light.

Are you feelin alright?
Did you ever really feel anythin?
Tell me are ya gonna come back?
Do you really think that you're one of them?

They're gonna hunt you, they're gonna cut you
They're gonna open up your body and stuff you
Till you say it's written, till you make the payments
Leave ya heavin in the twigs and the toxic

There's nothin inside. Inside, inside
Tell me are the words still paralyzed? Lies, lies, lies.
In the blink of a flashin blindin light.

    Also the words "Lies, lies, lies" are before the last line, "In the blink of a flashing, blinding light"

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
