Be still let your hand melt into mine.
The part of me that breathes when you breathe is losing time.
I can't find the words to say I'll never say goodbye.

I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go.
I'm not letting go.
My tears like rain fill up the sky.
Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.

I saw the host of silent angels waiting on their own.
Knowing that all the promises of faith come alive when you see home.
Hold still and let your hand melt into mine.

I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go.
I'm not letting go.
My tears like rain fill up the sky.
Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.

Shed your heart and your breath and your pain and fly.
Now you're alive.

I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go.
I'm not letting go.
Tears like rain fill up the sky.
Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.
I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.

    I'd really love to hear someone's thoughts on this one. I can see a lot of meanings behind this one. To me it kind of sounds like they're singing about letting go-as in the kind of letting go that takes place at death.

    I was at the jars of clay/jennifer knapp concert this month- the song was written about some friends who were getting married. Don't remember exactly, but right after getting engaged the woman was diagnosed with cancer. They got married and spent all 3 months of their marraige with her in the hospital and him by her side. I think the song was about their incredible love and their hope of being together in heaven, and how her memory wouldn't be lost. Thought that was an amazing story- talk about committment:-)

    It's about how the husband "won't let her go" because he won't ever give up and he'll be with her in heaven someday.

    When he sees the angels he sees that all the promises of their faith, that they would live eternally in heaven, have become real.

    "shed your heart and your breath and your pain and fly" this is my favorite part, because it talks about how she is letting go of all the burdens of this life on earth and flying. Now she is truly alive, as alive as she could ever be.

    I know it might mean something else, but i have a really close relationship with this friend of mine and i'm always finding songs that relate to his and my walk together and when i go through hard times i can easily see him singing this song to me. It gives a hope for a better tomorrow, like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. the last stanza is just a glimpse into the future. Its a beautiful song and i love it. Where i'm right or not is besides the point, its just how i feel about the song. ha

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
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.
