This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Past the crunching twilight
Through to Plato’s dome
The shadows flicker
Oh cave, dark and binding
There is a light for us all
Half-light silhouettes
Stroboscopic scintillations
I have ten papers I haven’t read
And a pot about to boil
Which I can’t seem
To get up to cover
To melt the substance of arrangements
With an irrational touch
Damned motivation
Past lives with only
Molecular clarity
Disengage with time
I waited an hour for a bus
And when it came I waved it on
There wasn’t a difference to where it was going
How I waved was very important though
With a “vengeance is mine” non-chalance
Everyone on the bus knew
One woman threw a quarter at me, but it passed through me
And later fed .001 percent of the local disenfranchised population
And a cat
I felt good about that.
I’m not sure how much longer
Things will pass through . . .
Optical density refers to the speed of light in a medium.
The speed of light in a vacuum is 180,280 miles per second.
Refraction is the bending of a light beam as it passes through a surface
separating two different light transmitting materials.
Will they examine the dried blood and chalk marrow?
Will they clean the dirt from our mouths
to imagine what was said?
Will the best they can say be that we saw with Oedipal eyes?
They a generation born without sight,
Transfixed on osmosis.
Through to Plato’s dome

I Can't Go To Sleep

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
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
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.
