It's all over like steps in the first snow (snow, snow, snow, snow)
Some thing's been building up and it's gonna blow (blow, blow, blow, blow)
My momma called me last night she said, "When nothing else fits
Pick up the pieces and move on" (On, on, on, on)
I see the flashing red lights, just can't make sense of the bits
It's like my mind is gone

I got, got to get, get my head back on
I got, got to get myself together
When this hurt is gone I got, got to get myself together
I got, got to get
I can't tell what's right or wrong
I wish that something could be done, I'm not that clever
When this hurt is gone I got, got to get myself together

Can't stand to see you upset, but you already know
The more close it gets the less I wanna go
I saw my brother last night, he said, "I know you too well
You can't pretend that's nothing wrong" (Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong)
I see the fuse that ignites like I'm outside of myself
It's like my mind is gone

I got, got to get, get my head back on
I got, got to get myself together
When this hurt is gone I got, got to get myself together
I got, got to get
I can't tell what's right or wrong
I wish that something could be done, I'm not that clever
When this hurt is gone I got, got to get myself together

My daddy pulled me aside like when I was a child
He said, "I trust you decide on what you know is right
And for whatever it's worth I am on your side"
There's no denying the mess that I got us in
And I've been trying my best not to make a scene
Just can't make a sense of it all, it's like my mind is gone (gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

I got, got to get, get my head back on
I got, got to get myself together (get myself together)
When this hurt is gone I got, got to get myself together
I got, got to get
I can't tell what's right or wrong
I wish that something could be done, I'm not that clever
When this hurt is gone I got, got to get myself together

I got, got to get
I can't tell what's right or wrong
I wish that something could be done, I'm not that clever
I got, got to get
When this hurt is gone I got, got to get myself together

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
