Here I am at home again
This rainy avenue
Put me in my proper place
I'm not the one for you
But you're here now
Can you come in
It's freezing

I found a way to blur your face
And smear the words you said
You made me feel alive again
I wish we'd never met
But you're here now
Can you come in
I'm freezing

[Chorus]
I finally let go
And learned to live without you
After all those weeks alone
But now you're back for more
I'm trying to fight it off
But there's a mutiny below

There were nights when I was sure
Your love was all I had
Pining at the door you left through
God it hurt so bad
But you're here now
You're making eyes
I'm breaking

[Chorus]

I finally let go
But there's a mutiny below

Just one more night
You ask so tenderly
A softer side
I'd longed so longed to see, yeah
So long
You slip inside
We'll work it out
Tomorrow

[Chorus]

I finally let go (I can't)
I'm trying to fight it off (Live without you)
But there's a mutiny
If I'm left by myself
I can't hang on
Let me go

    am i the only one who thinks this song is more sentimental than sexual?? if i am it's cool, i usually am. and i'm usually wrong. Personally, I agree with the two prior analyses mainly. The girl broke up with the boy and he's trying to get over her, and finally when he's just made it over the hump of the hardest part, she comes over and asks for just one more night with him, something he's been "longing" for for a long time. When the situation presents itself, it's not really about the sex, it's about that he's still in love with her. The mutiny, the traitor, is his heart.

    Or it could just be that he's a horny boy. Whatevs.

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 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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
