I seen a girl
With a guy
Her hair like yours
From what I remember

He took her hand
And smiled her name
Her face like yours
She smiled the same

From what I remember
Been so long since last December

She walked your walk
She talked like you
She shimmered strong
She shined right through

From what I remember

Said I, said I seen a girl
With a guy
So who I'd seen
So who am I

Now I can't remember
Been so long since last December
Been so long since last December

So I'm sending
An open letter to the perfect girlfriend

I'm still mighty tiny
Hoping that you'd be my little godsend
Cause right now I'll take any and blindly
But before we find another noose to fit us
Before we choose another hand to hit us
Let us ask each other
What's the difference

Because if you save yourself
I'll save you all the time

Open letter to the legions leering
Are we entertained yet?

Why don't you cast your gaze into the moonlit clearing
Cause my love, my love is a sucker bet
Before we find another noose to fit us
(From what I remember)
Before we choose another hand to hit us

Let us ask each other
What's the problem
(Been so long since last December)

Why don't you save yourself
I'll save you all the time

Because if you save yourself
I'll save you all the time
(Now what's to blame)
Save yourself, I'll save you all the time

Save yourself, I'll save you all the time
Save yourself, I'll save you all the time

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.

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.

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.
