Don't piss down my back then tell me it is raining.

You just had to walk in before I kicked the table beneath my feet.
If I can't have any friends I thought why not hang from the ceiling.

Just because I ordered, doesn't mean I can't look at the menu.
Not that there's any other fish in this sea I'd rather have on my plate than you.
Just because I FUCKING ordered, doesn't mean I can't look at the menu.
Not that there's any other fish in this sea.

Don't drink and park, accidents in cars cause population.
Fuck "more the merrier" there's only one person I need to feel this sensation.

If you need directions you can take the road that's down my sleeve,
This time I'm taking you with me, but the cuffs are you; so good luck trying to leave!

I hope one day I can cross your ocean, without feeling the puncture of your teeth.
Believe me I'd rather drown myself, than knowing you have the power to pull me beneath.


There's so much oxygen that I forgot to breathe?
You're only making things worse, you're only making things worse (I find my self running backwards every time).(x2)


Fuck that I changed my fucking mind
Jesus loves you so I won't have to.(x2)


I hope you sleep softly with this pillow pressed against your face.(x2)

    This song is probably about a relationship that you have no control over and seem to be "stuck" in where eventhough you can leave, you keep coming back. The person you are in love with is controlling and you keep telling yourself and that person that you could leave and look for someone else, yet you don't....and it becomes a vicious cycle. It's interesting how the band compares such a relationship to drinking or alcoholism...eventhough it isn't good for you...you keep coming back to it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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
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” 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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
