The mistakes I've made
That cause pain
I could've done without
Oh my selfish thoughts
Oh my pride
The things I
You have forgotten about

They're all behind you
They'll never find you
They're on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom
Of the ocean floor

My misdeeds
Oh my grieve
The things that harm me now
They're not a pretty site to see
But they wipe away
By a mighty, mighty wave, mighty, mighty wave

They're behind you
They'll never find you
They're on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom
They're on the ocean floor
Your sins are erased
And they are no more
They're out on the ocean floor

Take them away
To return no more
Take them away
To the ocean floor, to the ocean floor

They're all behind you
They'll never find you
They're on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom
All on the ocean floor
Your sins are erased
They are no more
They're out on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom
They're on the ocean floor
Your sins are erased and
They are no more
They're on the ocean floor

    I think this song is pretty straight forward. It talks about how all of our sins no matter how big or small are all forgotten and buried at the ocean floor if we have accepted Christ into our lives. He'll forgive us and our sins are washed away...and land on the ocean floor!

    this is my favorite audio a song because it's comforts me because i know that if i have confessed my sin to God then i don't need to remember it, God won't, why should I?

    This is one of my favorite Audio A songs. It's meaning, as they already said, is obvious. You accept Jesus into your life--> your sins are gone.. they're on the ocean floor. :)

    Not hard to work out and the meaning is just what people have put it.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

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.
