And I'm watching you from a room with a view
Take it off, get some clues, your next source, your next move
We will watch, we will talk, we will talk


Down on you’re knees, we can settle these debts in the sheets.
With some melodies.
The taste of your lips was a subtle hint, that you’ve been jumping ship


Wasn't more than you were expecting, wasn't more than you need
A sober safe bed keeps your head clear
And you know the rest
And I know I'm not the one you call when you are alone
And everybody else has their own verse and
You have your own song, your song


Down on you’re knees, we can settle these debts in the sheets.
With some melodies.
The taste of your lips was a subtle hint, that you’ve been jumping ship

    "Down your knees we can settle these down some sheets (?) with some melodies Taste your lips.. you've been jumping ship"

    it sounds like he's saying

    "Taste your lips, whats the summer when you've been jumping ship"

    but i dunno why he would say that.

    Great song tho.

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.

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.
