I Confide

Dry Cell

I don't wanna talk
You're too busy gone
You're too busy being strong
You can never guide
?????????????????? (Dunno how to hide?)
I confide something's wrong
What is it you see when you look at me
Am I all you hoped I'd be
Or have I become the ungrateful son
You know, the one you speak of

I remember back to when I was young
There was so much going on
We were very tight
Now we always fight
I confide something's wrong
Nothing's ever good
Nothing's ever pure
as you slam another door
Who am I to be
What will I become
I'm not a child anymore

Follow me out
Into the world
Wish there was some way for me to be heard
More that we shout
The further I am
We do this over and over again

To tell the truth I been getting through
everytime I pass through you
I've been moving on finally belong
I confide something's wrong
Maybe we can mend in a couple years after all the air has cleared
But I think for now I'll be moving on
I gotta learn to be strong

Follow me out
Into the world
Wish there was some way for me to be heard
More that we shout
The further I am
We do this over and over again

Why
Why did you
Why
Why did you
Why
Why did you turn away
Why
Why did you
Why
Why did you
Why
Why did you turn away
Why
Why did you
Why
Why did you
Why
Why did you turn away

Tell me what you see when you look at me
Am I all you hoped I'd be
You don't have the right
Everything is fine
Because I can confide

Follow me out
Into the world
Wish there was some way for me to be heard
The more that we shout
The further I am
We do this over and over again

Why
Why did you
Why
Why did you
Why
Why did you
Why
And we do this over and over again
Why
Why did you
Why
Why did you
Why
And we do this over and over again

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

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.
