Nobody does anything
Wrong
Nobody is a dilettante
Everybody get everything
Everything they want

Time to change up sheets
Lock change
Down
Down in the street
I wanna see ya all crossed up and hung

Fine clothes
Find work
Grab a spade
Get in the dirt
The older you get
The less you're worth
You're gonna hit the market full force

    No one's commented on this? This is possibly one of my favorite songs of all time! The drum beat and--what is it, harmonica? I don't know, but I think some of the lyrics are missing.

    Only 20 and I feel these guys' frustration. If fashioncore dies down, no one will shed a tear.

    "I wanna see ya all crossed up and hung"

    Probably one of the greatest lines ever.

    After I heard this song, I was sold. I don't think it could be any more perfect.

    Is this song all about pseudo rock bands, marketing forces that gather $ on teenagers back? ('im asking cause i'm french and sometimes i miss the meaning of short english sentences) besides, this song is great

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.
