Somethin' ain't right
Gonna get myself
I'm gonna get myself
I'm gonna get myself connected
I ain't gonna go blind
For the light which is reflected
I see through you, see through you
I see through you, I see through you
Your dirty tricks, you make me sick
I see through you, I see through you
I'm gonna do it again, gonna do it again

I'm (gonna do it again, gonna do it again)
Gotta do right (gonna do it again)
Somethin' ain't right (gonna do it again)
Gotta do right
Come on

If you make sure you're connected
The writing's on the wall
But if your mind's neglected
Stumble, you might fall
Stumble, you might fall
Stumble, you might fall
(Stereo MC's)

I, ain't gonna go blind
I see through you, see through you
I see through you, I see through you
Gonna get myself
I'm gonna get myself
I'm gonna get myself connected
I ain't gonna go blind
For the light which is reflected
Hear me out
Can ya hear me out?
Can ya hear me out?
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
I wanna do it again
I wanna do it again
I wanna do it again
You're terrified (I wanna do it again)
Ain't gonna go blind, ain't gonna go blind
(I wanna do it again)
Here we go

If you make sure you're connected
The writing's on the wall
But if your mind's neglected
Stumble, you might fall
Stumble, you might fall
Hear me out
Stumble, you might fall

Interstate 5
Stayin' alive
Won't someone try
Open up your eyes
You must be blind
If you can't see
The gaping hole called reality
Ow, wanna do it again
I gonna, gonna do it again
I wanna do it again, come on
I'm gonna do it again
Hear me out
Terrified
Somethin' ain't right
Here we go

If you make sure you're connected
The writing's on the wall
But if your mind's neglected
Stumble, you might fall
Stumble, you might fall
Stumble, you might fall
If you make sure you're connected
The writing's on the wall
But if your mind's neglected
Stumble, you might fall
Stumble, you might fall
Stumble, you might fall
If you make sure you're connected
The writing's on the wall
But if your mind's neglected
Stumble, you might fall
Stumble, you might fall
Stumble, you might fall
If you make sure you're connected
The writing's on the wall
But if your mind's neglected
Stumble, you might fall
Stumble, you might fall

    you either know, or you can't be told. It's that inconceivable.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
