how come you never look at me no more?
take it easy, babe.
go slow now.
how come you never touch me anymore?
take it easy, you don't want to know.
how come you never break the skin no more?
take it easy, babe.
don't go now.
how come you never let me in no more?
take it from me, i'll break it to you slow now.
she looks through me like an x-ray.
like a fire burning out of the fireplace.
she looks through me like an x-ray.
i'm saying all the right lies to the wrong face.
how many faces can you fake, boy?
how many lies?
how many know now?
say how can you never make a choice?
i'll break it to yoy slow, now.
she looks through me like an x-ray.
like a fire burning out of the fireplace.
she looks through me like an x-ray,
like a suergeon come tearing at my heartbreak.
don't be seen with me.
she sees everything.
she looks through me like an x-ray.

    all about jealousy,and when someone you love looks right through you to see someone else,it's almost like treating you like you don't exsist,but i think this song means when a girl your with looks through you to see someone else,even worse

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.
