This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I try to be good
I really do try to be good
Oh yeah
I woke up in the front yard
Where did my pants go?
Smoked my last little bit of weed
Somebody busted out my window
But I just thank God
He forgive my sins
'Cause I'm 110 percent sure
It's gonna happen again
I work so hard to make something of my life
But I still feel lost inside my heart sometimes
But I get through
Oh, oh yeah
I get through
Oh, oh yeah
But I get through
(I'm either screwin' it up or doin' it up)
Oh, oh yeah
(Screwin' it up or doin' it up)
I get through
(I'm either screwin' it up or doin' it up)
Oh, oh yeah
(Screwin' it up or doin' it up)
They call me crazy
But they don't know the half of it
Call me daily
I just can't seem to get past the shit
I stumbled in the front door
Tripped on the suitcase
(Said she's leavin' tonight)
Yeah, she said ticket's going one way
But I can't bicker
Or say I'll change my ways
'Cause I'm more than a 10 percent sure
It's gonna end up the same
I work so hard to make something of my life
But I still feel lost inside my heart sometimes
But I get through
Oh, oh yeah
I get through
(Try to be good)
Oh, oh yeah
But I get through
(I'm either screwin' it up or doin' it up)
Oh, oh yeah
(Screwin' it up or doin' it up)
I get through
(I'm either screwin' it up or doin' it up)
Oh, oh yeah
(Screwin' it up or doin' it up)
Just like you
I need to get to work
But I'd rather celebrate and get on curb
(Just like you)
I would love to stay with you, girl
But I always got my eyes on a new girl
(Just like you)
I wanna throw some ones at a stripper
But I ain't got no funds to give her
(Just like you)
I ridin' on a train
I'm about to get some dope to ease the pain
But I get through
Oh, oh yeah
I get through
Oh, oh yeah
But I get through
(I'm either screwin' it up or doin' it up)
Oh, oh yeah
(Screwin' it up or doin' it up)
I get through
(I'm either screwin' it up or doin' it up)
Oh, oh yeah
(Screwin' it up or doin' it up)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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
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.
