There was a time when our dreams felt so real
Just out of reach but not to far to feel
Together we finally make them come true
Cause anything's possible when I was with you
But they kept on saying we'd never amount to anything

[Chorus]
All of the dreams we built up from the ground
They never believed them
They just tore them down
We will rebuild them from the start
We will rebuild them from the heart

Cause once we all wanted seemed so far away
But with every step it was closer each day
The more we tried it was within our grasp
The more that they told us that it wouldn't last
and everyone said we were crazy for giving up everything

[Chorus: x3]

    my favorite song on the album is "out of control" or "same direction" actually. i think its about a relationship being torn apart b/c of friends or family saying they aren't right for each other. then they finally accept it when the couple breaks up and everyone takes credit for them being together in such a good relationship. I also see it in the way of ppl tryin to control your life, like saying your dreaam is stupid and u shouldnt do it b/c u cant and stuff.

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.
