All Wrapped Up

American Head Charge

- And now with the following collection of...

I'm above everything else
Saved the ones who shouldn't be
Hold on to them all so you'll
Find yourself away from me

Our lost faith strung out in a line
My most empathetic dreams of you
The sorry excuses on which we dine
When all my fears tell me it's true

Borrowed dreams of some imagined future
All wrapped up inside this borrowed hope

Don't manipulate the most
Beautiful thing you'll ever know
To the extent of saving your
Ragged torn out sickly show

Holding my head above the fold
Can't decide which side I want
I buried everything so deep in the cold
Now I step into the lies that I flaunt

Borrowed dreams of some imagined future
All wrapped up inside this borrowed hope

Pull it all away from me
Show me all the things I can
Never be allowed to see
It's all so far away

If you must have faith in someone
Trust that I'll push you away
If you must have faith in someone
Trust that I'll push you away

What am I if
The flies all stick to me?
What am I if
The maggots live in me?
What am I if
I'm closest to the stink?
What am I if
You're all that's real to me?

What
Am
I?

Teach me,
Just show me,
Break everything,
Flush it away

Teach me,
Just show me,
The starts already over
Break everything and
Flush it away

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 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.

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
