Everybody preys in the wounds
I don't care, but I wish that I would
She's the sun when I'm rain
But it was all ugly shouting again

All the while I breathe in pain
That's how I know all our secrets
Went down on all our friends
They say the same, that I'm changing again

Everybody preys in the wounds
I don't care, but I wish that I would
She's the sun when I'm rain
But it was nothing but shouting again

I wanted to sleep but when I closed my eyes
I wanted to write something true
I wanted to sleep but when I closed my eyes
Saw something real but only came up with

Lies, lies, lies, lies

The same town that killed this life
Better turn down the same eyes
That spit on their floors
With the same, mine and yours

I wanted to sleep but when I closed my eyes
I wanted to write something true
I wanted to sleep but when I closed my eyes
Saw something real but only came up with

Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies!

    I hear:

    All the while you prove you're pained, That's how I know that I'll see you again Fell down on old friends They stay the same, but I'm changing again

    They say you know the nothing of this life Never turned on the city lights that stood on their floors they're the same mine and yours

    ...but it's hard to tell. Also, I'm obsessed with this song and Sindri :)

    This is what I'm hearing:

    Everybody prays in the woods I don't care, but I wish that I would She's the sun and I am the rain But it was all ugly shouting again

    And

    I wanted to sleep, but couldn't close my eyes Wanted to write something true I wanted to sleep, but couldn't close my eyes Saw something real but only came up with Lies, lies, lies, lies

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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.

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.
