There was a dark face
In the air that day
It whispered to me I should brace myself
For the toll it would take
We lived and we couldn't cry
Or admit that this would be the last
We lived and we couldn't lie
That her eyes they said goodbye

Now I'm broken
I'm broken
I'll pick up the pieces
Push everyone away
I'm broken

I'll never forget the day
That we learned that we'd change
It hit me so hard
I never had a chance to prepare
Well she lives inside my life
So I go on pretending that I'm whole
She lives inside my life
But I never got to say goodbye

Now I'm broken
I'm broken
I'll pick up the pieces
Push everyone away
I'm broken

We lost a life
I looked into her eyes and her eyes they said goodbye

Yeah I'm broken
I'll pick up the pieces
Push everyone away
I'm broken

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
