20 miles too fast
Acceleration on the gas
while she wakes up to the glass (ehh yeah)
Reaches out for her baby (oh oh ohh uh)
She reaches out for her baby (mm hmm)
The sun wakes up the birds are singing
She wakes up to the day
The skies are clear
New life appears
All she sees is the rain
Everyday is the same
Cigarettes all stamped on the desk
And Empty bottles on the ground
A baby picture on the fridge
Of Katie reaching for a cup
All she knew about was love

2001 to 2005 always remember by her beautiful smile
Katie tattooed on her arm her mamas gotta live on
Lullaby

Memories of the walks down to the parks
And drawing flowers on the pavement
And sharing double scooped ice-cream
Her favorite flavor was strawberry (yeah yeah)
An empty swing an empty yard and empty play house
Her only joy is now gone
And now she’s left all alone

2001 to 2005 always remember by her beautiful smile
Katie tattooed on her arm now mamas gotta live on
Lullaby
Lullaby

Flash backs to the past
And 30 miles too fast
Acceleration on the gas
While she
She wakes up to the glass
a shattered mirror of the past
She reaches for her baby
Reaches out for her baby
Starts getting takes her hand
Takes her hand this time
Heaven
In heaven

1976 to 2005 always remember by her beautiful smile
Sarah tattooed on her arm now mamas gotta live on
Lullaby
Lullaby

2001 to 2005 always remember by her beautiful smile
Katie tattooed on her arm grandmamas gotta live on
Lullaby

1976 to 2005 always remember by her beautiful smile
Sarah tattooed on her arm now mamas gotta live on
Lullaby
Lullaby

    I think it's about a woman who gets into a car wreck with her little daughter in the passenger seat (the first few lines).

    Then it jumps forward to after the accident, when the mother is depressed and full of regret, and everything reminds her of what she lost in the little girl.

    Then as she's killing herself, she has a flashback of the same incident that happened in the real accident, except when she reaches for Katie, she's actually able to grab her as she ascends to heaven.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
