You finally got me
I am your heart attack
Hey beautiful deadly, I have seen you before
This crime is undone
Shh, be still and I'll keep you always
Trust me, you will not feel a thing
Defuse the thrill to kill
Refuse what you will
You fell in love with the chase
Let me give it to you straight
I'm onto you
Survive the way that you're made to
The conscience killer always gets away
The stage is set for the collapse
Let's face the truth and stop pretending
You kill to prove, you are one of us
But truth be told you are better than all of us
This crime is undone
Shh, be still and I'll keep you always
Trust me, you will not feel a thing
Defuse the thrill to kill
Refuse what you will
You fell in love with the chase
Let me give it to you straight
I'm onto you
Survive the way that you're made to
The conscience killer always gets away
Tied-up, barely conscious
Awaiting to see what's going down
Instead of fighting you said you're on your own
It's better that I go
I may be blinded
The change is proof we've grown
It follows me where I go
Instead I'm looking back to where we met
I found the chance to live again
Instead you'd rather see where we end
The conscience killer always gets away
Defuse the thrill to kill
Refuse what you will
You fell in love with the chase
Let me give it to you straight
I'm onto you
Survive the way that you're made to
The conscience killer always gets away
So I guess this is goodbye
I will meet you on the other side

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
