Early in the morning,
Feet stuck on the ground.
Gotta fix my cup of caffeine, and I’m turning things around

Climbin’ up the mountain,
A piano on my back.
Gotta cut it loose,
So I’m wearing the noose,
And forget about the past.

I know you’re gonna say I’m not cool enough.
Tell all your friends I screwed it up.
I could give two shits, just let me breathe.

I don’t care what you’re saying about me,
No, I don’t care.
I don’t care what you think about me,
No, I don’t care.
I can’t let you be this constant
Compromising me.

Comatose bones into silicone drones

Early in the morning,
Feet stuck on the ground.
Gotta fix my cup of caffeine and I’m turning things around.
Yeah.

Climbin up the mountain.
Gotta cut it loose,
So I’m wearing the noose,
And forget about the past.

I know you’re gonna say I’m not cool enough.
Tell all your friends I screwed it up.
I could give two shits, just let me breathe.

I don’t care what you’re saying about me,
No, I don’t care.
I don’t care what you think about me,
No, I don’t care.
I can’t let you be this constant
Compromising me.

Comatose bones into silicone drones

Leavin it behind me
Snake skin in my tracks.
The venom could’ve killed me,
Sucked it up and spit it back.

When you finally close the window,
You find an open door.
But it’s up to you to walk right through,
And forget about before.

I know you’re gonna say I’m not cool enough.
Tell all you’re friends I screwed it up.
I could give two shits, just let me breathe.

I don’t care what you’re saying about me,
No, I don’t care.
I don’t care what you think about me,
No, I don’t care.
I can’t let you be this constant
Compromising me.

Comatose bones into silicone drones
Drown ‘em and drown ‘em and drown ‘em into deep doubt.
Comatose bones into silicone clones
Drown ‘em and drown ‘em and drown ‘em into deep doubt.

    Personally, this song sounds to me like a big screw you to fueled by ramen. They dropped him when he went solo, and at first he thought it was so terrible. But then he realized it meant he was free to do whatever he wanted with him music without expectations, and that this is a good thing for him. This is his way of telling them he's free and nothing is going to bring him down.

Holiday
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
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.

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.
