Where did you come from?
Where have you been?
Looks like you fell into the trash bin
I'm catching train, I'm crashing a car
Back in for daylight shooting for the stars

Like a lifelong daisy chain
Of my imagination
A rat inside a maze
I got no destination

'Cause I'm a little boy named Train
Ask me again, I'll tell you the same
Little boy named Train
Don't know where I come from
But I know where I have been

Serious people are funny to me
Funny people seem so serious

I'm always lost and nothing will change
Give me directions and I'll get lost again

Like a lifelong daisy chain
Of my imagination
A rat inside a maze
I got no destination

'Cause I'm a little boy named Train
Ask me again, I'll tell you the same
Little boy named Train

Don't know where I come from
But I know where I have been

Like a lifelong daisy chain
Of my imagination
A rat inside a maze
I got no destination

'Cause I'm a little boy named Train
Ask me again, I'll tell you the same
Little boy named Train

I don't know where I come from
But I know where I have been
I said I don't know where I come from
But I know where I have been

Cajun Girl
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”

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.
