Mhm
No, yeah
Ohh, oh

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face (ah-ooh)
And nobody's gonna bring me down today (ah-ooh)
Been feeling like nothing's been going my way lately
But I decided right here, right now
That my outlook's gonna change

That's why I'm gonna
Say goodbye to all the tears I've cried and
Every time somebody hurt my pride and
Feeling like they won't let me live life and
Take the time to look at what is mine
I see every blessing so clearly
I thank God for what I got from above

I believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner-peace from me
They can say all they wanna say about me

But I, I'm gonna carry on (carry on)
Keep on (keep on)
Singin' my song
(La, la, la, la-la) ayy
(La-la-la-la-la) yeah, yeah, yeah
(La, la, la, la, la)

I never wanna dwell on the pain again, ooh, no, no (ah-ooh)
There's no use in re-living how I hurt back then, oh, no, no c(ah-ooh)
Remembering too well the hell I felt when I was running out of faith, oh
Every step I'm 'bout to take, ooh, was towards a better day

'Cause I'm about to
Say farewell to every single lie and
All the fears I've held too long inside
Every time I felt I couldn't try
All the negativity inside

For too long I've been struggling, couldn't go on
But now I've found
I'm feeling strong and I'm moving on

I believe they can take anything from me (I believe)
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace my inner peace, oh)
And they can say all they wanna say about me
But I, I'm gonna carry on (carry on)
I'ma keep on (keep on)
Singin' my song
(La, la, la, la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la)
(La, la, la, la, la) yeah, whoa-whoa, ooh

Every time I tried to be what they wanted from me
It never came naturally
So I ended up in misery (in misery)
Wasn't able to see (couldn't see)
All the good around me (around me)
Wasted so much energy on what they thought of me
Than simply just remembering to breathe
Ohh, oh whoa, oh yeah
I'm humanly unable to please
Everyone at the same time, so now I find
My peace of mind living one day at a time
In the end, I answer to one God
It comes down to one love
Until I get to Heaven above
I have made the decision, never to give in
'Til the day I die no matter what

I'm gonna carry on
I'ma keep on
Singing my song
(La, la, la, la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la)
(La, la, la, la, la)
Oh, whoa

I believe they can take anything from me (I believe)
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
They can do what they wanna, say what they wanna say, oh whoa
They can say what they wanna
But I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
Keep on (keep on), woo

I believe that they can take from me
But they can't take my inner peace
Ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say what they wanna say (wanna say)
I'm gonna sing my song
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah (yeah)

Hey, I said
Hi, dawg (hi)
Hey, dawg, it's me Wassim (hi)
Is that it? (yes)
Are we done? (You're done)
Can we go home now? (Goodbye)
Diginose
Stop, it still hurts though
Please, thank you
I'm done (you're welcome)

    can't believe nobody has commented this!

    stripped was by far chrsitina's best album. it came out just when i was at that awkward stage in my teenage days where you need constant reassurance it's okay to be yourself and you're great as you are. ah, i used to ebs ure this album was written for me.

    this song is soulful and...go get it esque. hahaha.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
