If the end be a comin' I soon be a bummin'
All you Jesus freaks I hope you're wrong
I've got so much left to live for

All these religions without God's supervision
All you Jesus freaks you kill yourselves
All in the name of the Lord
There ain't but

You're gonna meet your maker
Soon he be comin' to town
You hear the horse a comin'

Mercy on your soul when you're found
Oh, been out ridin'
Ridin' a horse called war, oh yeah
No denyin'
You can't bury a horse called war, that's right son

All of this hatin', just social masturbation
All you Jesus freaks we need you now
What the hell are you waiting for?

Through all the pollution
Ain't seen no solution
For you Jesus freaks that ride the horse called war, yeah yeah

You're gonna meet your maker
Soon he be comin' to town
You hear the horse a comin'

Mercy on your soul when you're found
Oh been out ridin'
Ridin' a horse called war, oh
No denyin'
You can't bury a horse called war, can't bury, that's right

Everyone's talkin' but nobody's walkin'
We keep feedin', it keeps eatin'
We'll be down, down, down on the killin' floor

You're gonna meet your maker
Soon he be comin' to town
You hear the horse a comin'

Mercy, Lord on your soul when you're found
Oh been out ridin'
Ridin' a horse called war
No, no denyin'
You can't bury a horse called war

Oh been out ridin'
Ridin' a horse called war
No, no denyin'
You can't bury child, yeah I swear
He comin', he comin', yeah yeah

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
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.
