You walk the streets
Never feel no guilt
You make your money selling guns on a playground

I'm so ashamed
Cause we're all the same
Killing in the name money is the game now

And you're buying bombs
And we pay the price
Eat your lies and we feed it to the children

Is this what you want
Is this what you need
You're gonna kill us all to bring peace

My blood, my soul is my enemy
My love, my life is poison to me
I know it's not how it's supposed to be
Got no choice, no voice I have no dignity

You manipulate
With your bag of tricks
You're playing God with the world on my shoulder

Can't regulate
'Cause the worlds at stake
We're so lost that we all feel it's over

But I'm the one to blame
For this burning pain
It's eating up the world
And we gonna live it in shame
It's hard to maintain
When it's so insane
It's so, so insane
So kids don't listen to your parents
The parents can't teach us
All they ever left was a world in a mess

My blood, my soul is my enemy
My love, my life is poison to me
I know it's not how it's supposed to be
Got no choice, no voice I have no dignity

C'mon yeah,
We got no control
Of the state of our minds

Now I see that
All I ever lived was a lie

We're all duped to believe that there's no way around,
There's no way around, there's no way around! (There's no way around!)

My blood, my soul is my enemy
My love, my life is poison to me
I know it's not how it's supposed to be
Got no choice, no voice I have no dignity

My blood, my soul is my enemy
My love, my life is poison to me
I know it's not how it's supposed to be
Got no choice, no voice I have no dignity, dignity, dignity

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
