Starálfur Staring Elf

Blá Nótt Yfir Himininn Blue Night Over The Sky
Blá Nótt Yfir Mér Blue Night Over Me
Horf-Inn Út Um Gluggann Dis-Appeared Out Of The Window
Minn Með Hendur Me With Hands
Faldar Undir Kinn Hidden Under My Cheek
Hugsum Daginn Minn I Think About My Day
Í Dag Og Í Gær Today And Yesterday
Blá Náttfötin Klæða Mig Í I Put On My Blue Nighties
Beint Upp Í Rúm Go Straight To Bed
Breiði Mjúku Sængina I Pull The Soft Covers Over
Loka Augunum Close My Eyes
Ég Fel Hausinn Minn Undir Sæng I Hide My Head Under The Covers
Starir Á Mig Lítill Álfur A Little Elf Stares At Me
Hleypur Að Mér En Hreyfist Ekki Runs Towards Me But Doesn't Move
Úr Stað - Sjálfur From Place - Himself
Starálfur A Staring Elf
Opna Augun I Open My Eyes
Stírurnar Úr Take The Crusts Out
Teygi Mig Og Tel (Hvort Ég Sé Ekki) Stretch Myself And Check (If I Haven't)
Kominn Aftur Og Alltalltílæ Returned Again And Everything Is Okay
Samt Vantar Eitthvað Still There Is Something Missing
Eins Og Alla Vegginna Like All The Walls

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.

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.
