lost my cool at a brand new school
where the kids all smell kind of strange
and i threw my chair when i caught the teachers glare
and she called me little mary jane
all the ribbon that i god damn took
from the kids left my ego in a whirl
and the kids would say as i sat and watched them play
hey there kid are you a boy or a girl?
praise the day
im old and gret
and dont look much like a girl
and the kids would come and dance on the streets
proclaiming me the king of the world

figured it'd be fine when i hit grade 9
and i grow a big beard really soon
until the first day of gym when i met father Tim
and he sent me to the girls change room
praise the day
im old and gret
and dont look much like a girl
and the kids would come and dance on the streets
proclaiming me the king of the world
illustrate my weekly pass
come across as feeling crass
submit for credit or just share your thoughts
search my archive for a joke a thousand drives and beers and hops
look out god im gonna die
my black candle wont stop smoking even though i blew it out
my stigmata as the finest burnt your bridges to be sane
look out god im gonna die

now in the end i will surely transcend
all the things i was never meant to be
so with some skill and a little good will
out on ladies night i'll get in bars for free.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
