(Oh ooh)
Hey you, say you
Wanna start over again
Like I ever wanted it
To be any different
I've been watching all your colors fade
To blue

Said you'd come back
Like I wanted you, wanted you
Stop pretending everything's alright

Oh, baby blue, oh baby blue
C'mere I'm gonna smear another color over you
Get outta bed you little sleepy head
Your black and white needs a little bit of red,
Your black and white needs a little bit of red
(Oh ooh)

Couldn't handle
Pressure life had put'chu through
Thought you mighta bit a little more than you could chew
No, I don't believe it when you say,
I will make it up to you.
Said you'd come back,
Didn't want you to, want you to.
Still pretending everything's alright

Oh, baby blue, oh baby blue
C'mere I'm gonna smear another color over you
Get outta bed you little sleepy head
Your black and white needs a little bit of red,
Your black and white needs a little bit of red
Baby blue, baby blue

Oh, baby blue, oh baby blue
C'mere I'm gonna smear another color over you
Get outta bed you little sleepy head
Your black and white needs a little bit of red,
Oh, baby blue, oh baby blue
C'mere I'm gonna smear another color over you
Get outta bed you little sleepy head
Your black and white needs a little bit of red,
Your black and white needs a little bit of red
(Oh ooh)

    My Interpretation

    I Hate this song. It is like my republican ex girlfriend is yelling at me. I always dress in bland colors and blue because it is suposto be a calming color, and I live in a blue state. Also i developed this germaphobia thing sinse I broke up with her and Ive been sleeping way too much to.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
