All this is breaking me.
Same old story same old history.
And I'm wondering will this ever end.
Will I be able to trust in my friends ?
Always shared everything with you.
Answer with a backstab that is what you do.
Thinking of breaking this to pieces.
It's really time for a longer recess.

[Chorus]
All this is breaking me.
So far from reality.
Can not picture myself in this mess.
Can not pass by the distress.

Your smile seem like fake.
When I'm talking loud about the break.
No words can forgive you now.
Running from my dreams this time more proud.
Your bad words can not even touch me.
Back with more strength and new energy.
And this time it's for real.
I have finally realized how you make me feel.

    The sheer energy of Raised Fist gets me every time. Especially with this one. If anyone knows the lyrics to 'Pretext' PLEASE post them.

    hmmm raised fist's trademark is the sue of a slow double foot pedal, coordiante but slow moves, but i do agree this song is good but not their best a little commercial raised fist.

    My Interpretation

    It could be as @Balkazar suggests about a break up (assuming they mean with a loved one), however the first verse to me suggests that this could be about being "betrayed" by a friend (or friends).

    That is the song is about getting rid of those friends you can no longer trust ... breaking away from them.

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.

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.
