Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
These are the colors of the seven
When a rainbow catches their eye, they lure and beguile it
These are the desaturating seven

The seven came a creepin'
The seven came to play
The seven filled the land with a cold dismay
Seven came slaking their wretched thirst
Desaturating colors 'til bellies burst
The desaturating seven
The desaturating seven

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
These are the desaturating seven
With the grandeur of the world, they abuse and defile it
These are the desaturating seven
They fill their mouths with greed and take way more then they need
Ha ho, the desaturating seven
They're going to prowl and prey 'til the world is dark and grey
Because they are the desaturating seven

The seven came a creepin'
The seven came to play
The seven filled the land with a cold dismay
Seven came slaking their wretched thirst
Desaturating colors 'til bellies burst
The desaturating seven
The desaturating seven

Ooh, desaturating seven

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
