Sometimes it feels like I'm always waiting
For something else to go wrong
My mind is constantly demonstrating
Just how badly I'm far gone
I wish that something would just go my way
A wish that goes unfulfilled
Without a family, stuck here flightless
For something more, I'd have killed
Depressing, Repressing, while life just keeps on testing
Forever, and ever, and ever, just forget it!

Hey! Nobody understands just how it is to truly feel alone
Nothing to live for, and nothing to die for, nothing that I can call a home.

It seems I'm stuck at a disadvantage
That's lasted for over a year
Whenever anything happy happens
I kill it while waiting in fear
I know that something around the corner
Is going to tear down my high
At this point why should I even bother?
I can't think of one reason why I should try.
It's stupid, it's crazy, these fuckers call me lazy
Just be me, and you'll see, try to fight it can't ignite it!

Hey! Nobody understands just how it is to truly feel alone
Nothing to live for, and nothing to die for, nothing that I can call a home.

Why can't I fly? Why can't I take to the sky when I wanna get away?
What can I do? What good can I be? Who even cares for me anyway?

Hey! Nobody understands just how it is to truly feel alone
Nothing to live for, and nothing to die for, nothing that I can call a home.
Nobody understands just how it is to truly feel alone
Nothing to live for, and nothing to die for, nothing that I can call a home.

    Talked with Tarby about this one, it was originally inspired by the character of Scootaloo from My Little Pony, but it came to be about his move to the West Coast. I also related to this song a lot when I moved to Indonesia.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
