Backwashed thoughts
And you made me talk
No, you made me listen
There's a feeling from Ada to Irene
There's something
There's nothing you haven't seen

Tiny TV
On at three
So serene
No place to be alone

So come on over, yeah
Let's sit down a little while
Some wine
You will find the same things
The same things
The same things
The same things
The same things

By the time you read this
You kicked it in the sun
It was all that you could do
How could you refuse?
And you kicked it in the sun
It was all you had to do
And you kicked it in the sun
It was all you had to do
How could you refuse?
And you kicked it in the sun
It was wrong and it was rude
And you kicked it in the sun
It was wrong and it was rude
How could you refuse?
And you kicked it in the sun

It's alright now
I'm getting over getting mine
It's alright now
I'm getting over getting mine

He seemed so unashamed of how he operated
Corresponds to the facts that you want
Despite his expectations
He turned out mediocre
His master plan was so-so
We're special in other ways
Ways our mothers appreciate

That net does not make me feel safe
All those holes make me nervous

He woke up late that morning
Went to the window and saw the sun had stopped its shining
So, so

We're special in other ways
Ways our mothers appreciate
We're special in other ways
Ways our mothers appreciate
We're special
We're special

    I think this song is about Doug inviting a chick over to his place to hang out and she instead goes and lies in the sun. His feeling of being dissed results in the rant that makes up the 2nd half of the song. Deciding that even though this particular didn' want to be with him that at least his mom thinks he's special. I love this song and the line "It's alright now, I'm getting over getting mine." Reminds me of a girl I loved who immediately moved on to someone else after telling me she wanted to marry me.

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.

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.
