I want the words, something you haven't heard
Will I find them and will I have what it takes to say them?
In the world beside this one, there are no lies
And no suspicion, only dreams without end

You gotta feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I'm trying to come clean but I stumble every time
And then the words they escape, fail to take shape
It's all in the code now, come again

Feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I'm trying to come clean but I stumble every time
And then the words they escape, fail to take shape
It's all in the code now

Will you let me retract, let me take it back
Sometimes my words lack and my mind flies off the track
What I'm trying to convey is miles from what I say
And you slip away

In life there are times when nothing will rhyme
There are days I slip when I know I should climb
Breakin' the vows I swore I'd never break
A harsh word, a white lie, easy to mistake
Where have you been, haven't you noticed?
There's no map that exists to point us out of this
My heart was the target, it found your arrow
Baby, you know I want to be your straight and narrow

I been trying to transmit a feeling
I been hoping you receive what I'm revealing
See the main thing is hang with me and relate
As we communicate watch out
Fenced in like a dog between houses
Balled up by the trouble my mouth gets
Wrapped up in the things that I don't know
Don't you know
Hoping that you crack the code oh

The first to crack the code
You may not think I'm ready to have your love again
Oh, whoa, whoa (you may not think I'm ready)
You are the first to crack my code

I want the words, something you haven't heard
Will I find them and will I have what it takes to say them?

You gotta, gotta feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I'm trying to come clean but I stumble every time
And then the words they escape, fail to take shape
It's all in the code now

Didn't I know I'm wrong, wrong, wrong when you knew
You didn't have to give me so long, long, long to see through
Not predictable what I will do, but you know
Cause you cracked the code

Your body is a country that you know I'll return to
Craving like a family heirloom that I am into
No, baby, how could I follow everything you do
Just remember when we touch, I feel so renewed

The first to understand me, that would be you
It can't work if we can't be open and true
The best thing to happen to me, let it be told
That would be the moment that you cracked my code
Oh, whoa, whoa

The first to crack the code
You may not think I'm ready to have your love again
Oh, whoa, whoa (you may not think I'm ready)
You are the first to crack my code

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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 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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
