This here ain't no love song
And it ain't for you
It's for the folks that relate to
What I've been going through

It's for the 40 hour overtime
Workin' man
And too the good women out there
I know you'll understand

Why don't you run off to L.A.
And lose your mind
And get some energy docter to tell
You everything is fine

We can still be friends like you talk about
But first give me back them pearls
And the keys to my fuckin house
Get out

They say all wee need is just a little patience
But what do you do when your woman
Is too high maintenance yea
I'm hatin to admit it
Even if its your wife
Tell her pack your shit
And take the first train out of my life

It's a classic line baby
I just want to be friends
But baby my friends don't haver the keys to my mercedes benz, no
I think I know what you mean

You want to talk and such
Tell me all your problems
But we don't fuck
Ain't that right

I had plenty of friends before I met you
I don't need no more
So now I thinks its time you started headin out for that doorand even tho I feel real bad tonight
Please pack your shit
And take the first train out of my life

They say all we need is juat a little patience
Yea
But what do you do when your woman is too high maintenance
I know
I'm hatin to admit it even if its your wife
Tell her to pack your bags
And take the first train out of my life

Why don't you run off to L.A.
And lose your mind
You've got 15 minutes and
I think your wasting time yea

It's easy to see when you've lost your mind
But here ill be when you decide to come back blind
You were a midwest girl who says
She liked to drink beer and hang

And now your walkin red carpets talkin new york hip hop slang
And even though I might break down
And cry tonight
Please pack your shit
And take the first train out of my life oh yea yea

Why don't you run off to L.A.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
