Disaster, disaster
Disaster, disaster

Fall comes, a loaded gun
Black ties for everyone
Can you read my mind?
Fall in my arms again
Grey stones that break apart
French braids, demonic art
The dead come alive
Fall in my arms again (again)

I'm scared of the dark, my friends
What do you fear, my love?
Hold on, you're breaking up

Disaster, disaster
Disaster, disaster

White stones of hollow eyes
Death comes, you better hide
Never rest in town
Fall in my arms again
Full moon on a rotten night
Eighteen and a wind came by
Not a soul around
Fall in my arms again (again)

I'm scared of the dark, my friends
What do you fear, my love?
Your soul, it will float like a dove
Your words, they won't scream loud enough
But your lips they will stutter with flavor
You can't shake the taste of the blood
Hold on, you're breaking up (breaking up)
(Breaking up, breaking up, breaking up, breaking up, breaking up)

Are you scared of the dark, my friends?
What do you fear, my love?
Your soul, it will float like a dove
Your words, they won't scream loud enough
But your lips, they will stutter with flavor
You can't shake the taste of the blood
Hold on, you're breaking up (breaking up)
(Breaking up, breaking up, breaking up, breaking up, breaking up)

    Fairly sure this songs actually about dreaming and nightmares, or at least that's my interpretation of what he's talking about.

    Your words they won't scream loud enough... like when you're running scared in a nightmare and you just can't seem to run fast enough to get away or scream for help for some reason. Rest of song is describing a bunch of nightmarish scenarios

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
