You’re rushing, doing everything anything on the verge.
Not even thinking about what if you’re doing is absurd.
I don’t mean to be the one to cut in,
but you might want to stop and think about what you’re doing.


Here we go, everybody in the house one time,
everybody get up with their rhyme and the times and the lines,
and everybody says it, everybody goes and everybody plays it…
what, and everybody says you’re front,
and everybody says you go with your flow, and everybody knows,
everybody sings, and everybody brings…

Have fun go ahead, do anything instead.
You can do what you want if it looks fun.
But God is in control of the route and that is what it’s all about.
Movin' in a van, so what we are a band, now you gotta get up,
get the lights shining and jumping on your feet,
we’ll hit you with a beat, let’s move for He has given us everything.
There isn’t a time, a place you can be,
not a place in your face that you cannot see,
back up your face are you talking, yea,
I said it’s grace, He will be with me every place.

And why now, everybody says it, why now,
and everybody says you go with your flow and everybody knows,
and everybody sings and everybody brings it.
You go and everybody says it, you go and everybody throws it,
you go and everybody fakes it one time, and everybody shows it,
one time and everybody throws it, one time and everybody goes it,
one time and everybody blows it.
Here we go, come on.

Come on man tell me what you were thinking,
doing everything with a selfish reason.
I didn’t meant to be the one to cut in,
but you gotta stop and think about what you’re doing.
You sang your song way out of tune, so step off now and let it loose,
I’m not gonna do it your way! I’m doing it for God, so I’m here today.

Everybody goes and everybody knows,
everybody sings and everybody brings.
Bring it on, bring it on this time, everybody sets it up with their rhyme,
But now, everybody says somehow,
and everybody says you go with your flow
and everybody knows and everybody sings, and everybody brings it.

    What i think they're trying to say is the way everybody acts towards God's things. Everyone has time to party and to go out and have fun and live their lives wrecklessly but when anything has to do with God they think it's boring so they make excuses and lies to avoid the truth but anyone who reads this know that God knows everything you do and believe me, if he wants to use you he won't ask for permission because you are already his. Just go by what he wants uless you're willing to lose something precious to you that may be what is taking the first place in your life which should be God's. Just think about it. GodBlessYou.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
