This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I'm broken hearted
It's my fault
Treated my baby wrong
Now I just got to talk
But help me somebody
I'm a man
Help me somebody
L believe she just don't understand
I'm tryin' so hard
Tryin' so hard
I'm tryin' to do Ihe best I can
Oh yes I am
When I, I lay down
I got my baby on my mind
Yes I have
When I, when I lay down
I got my baby on my mind
Oh yeah
I think about the good things
And the good times
The way she made me leel so fine
I said I'm sittin' in the dark
Right now
And I know I don't need no light
Oh yes I, oh yes I. yes I
I'm sittin' all in the dark
I want the world to know
I don't need no light
I don't need no light
'Cause I'm wondcrin'
I'm wondering where she's gone
And I'm wondenn' what
What she's doin' tonight
And all I can say, all I can say
Is help me somebody
Help me understand
Help me somebody
I know that I'm not a man
'Cause I need her to hold my hand
And maybe
Maybe I'll understand...
That's the reason she wanted me for, a part time love now
She says baby, baby you don't understand
And oh baby, I swear I just can't be your back door man now
Oh no I can't
I said, I said I just can't be
I said I just can't be your back door man
Oh no I won't
I won't sneak and hide baby
I'm a fool
People say I just don't understand
Oh no
I know
Play it one time Jimmy
Oh now
Take it down some
Can't lose these blues
Can't lose these blues
I remember, I remember
A gambler told one time
He said it's so hard
When you're trying to play a black jack game
Oh yes it Is
I had 15 hit him with a 6
You know, you know, he won just the same
Ain't that a sin
If I couldn't hit that 15 I had
Do you know, that would make me win
I guess I'm, I guess I'm, I'm in hard luck
Oh, Oh
Help me somebody
Help me somebody
Oh, help me somebody ...
It's my fault
Treated my baby wrong
Now I just got to talk
But help me somebody
I'm a man
Help me somebody
L believe she just don't understand
I'm tryin' so hard
Tryin' so hard
I'm tryin' to do Ihe best I can
Oh yes I am
When I, I lay down
I got my baby on my mind
Yes I have
When I, when I lay down
I got my baby on my mind
Oh yeah
I think about the good things
And the good times
The way she made me leel so fine
I said I'm sittin' in the dark
Right now
And I know I don't need no light
Oh yes I, oh yes I. yes I
I'm sittin' all in the dark
I want the world to know
I don't need no light
I don't need no light
'Cause I'm wondcrin'

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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.
