I'm Yours Tonight

The Academy Is...

Forever alone
Until I found you
Now you're always there
Voice on the air
Scent on my clothes
Oh, but when the sun
Exposes all my demons
Will you stay, or run away?

I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
I'm yours tonight

Whenever you go
They say I'm bad news
When everyone agrees
Whispers start sounding like screams
Oh, but I know what you want
To say before the words escape your teeth
Will you trust in me?

I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
I'm yours tonight

My good intentions
Can leave the hardest hearts
The harshest scars you've ever seen
My bad impressions
They will follow me
Makin' enemies that I can't see

Forever alone
Till I found you
I know that you'll stay
You won't run away

I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight

I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
(I'm yours tonight)
I'm yours tonight

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.
