Hanging on the sunny afternoon
Living on is all I want to do
People watching what am I to do
Waking up can never come too soon
When I put these stars to rest
I know that I can worry less
It seems that its just something I can’t do


So oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottle,
Oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom,
Oh my God, I spend time with you,
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I can't stop crying


And hanging on the sunny afternoon,
Nightmares into daydreams if I could,
Listen to the thoughts I wont confuse
And hoping it will do my heart some good
When I put these stars to rest
I know that I can worry less,
It seems that its just something I can’t do.


So oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottle,
Oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, I spend time with you,
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I cant stop crying

Standing on my own, I know I got to let it go
Standing on my own, I know I got to let it go
Standing on my own, I know I got to let it go
let it go.....

So, oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottle
Oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, I spend time with you,
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I can't stop crying
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I can't stop crying

    He broke up with his girl friend or maybe he just never got the girl, and now this song is about how he attempts to get over it after he has 'hit the bottem'

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.

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.
