You
In a simple gray coat
In a simple white room

Now you know you know it now and so
Now you know you know it now

You
Hate the tender hearted
Torture song

You
Catch a flame to my sentiment
My sentimental tune

Now you know you know it now and so
Now you know you know it now

Hard hearted don't worry I'm ready for a fight
Unnerve the nerve
You're nervous
Nervous that I'm right

Hard hearted don't worry I'm ready for a fight
Unnerve the nerve
You're nervous
Nervous that I'm right

Now
With your cause and affection
On my mind
I won't yield throw caution
Into the blaze

Now you know you know it now and so
Now you know you know it now

Watch
With a bit of friction
I'll be under your clothes
With a bit of focus
I'll be under your skin

Now you know you know it now and so
Now you know you know it now

Hard hearted don't worry I'm ready for a fight
Hard hearted don't worry I'm ready for a fight
Unnerve the nerve
You're nervous
Nervous that I'm right

Oh
Now you know you know it now and so
Now you know you know it now

Oh
Now you know you know it now and so
Now you know you know it now

    I definitely think this is about someone who is hard to love, but she's still determined to stay with the girl. The girl doesn't believe in love, or flip-flops on weather she wants to be with her or not. But shes going to keep trying because she knows the girl really does love her, even though she may not want to admit it.

    "Hard-hearted, don't worry, I'm ready for a fight," basically means that she's going to fight for this girl, and not let her push her away. "Unnerved, the nerve. You're nervous, nervous that I'm right," is saying that the girl is nervous about being in love with the singer, and may have a hard time admitting to it.

    It's not fun to be the one constantly fighting, I can tell you that much. But if you love your girl, it is worth it for the times she lets her guard down and lets you in for a bit. Thats whats keeping me figting for her. This is a beautiful song, I love Tegan and Sara =]

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
