Waking ten times to take a piss
You can taste the cancer in my morning kiss
Scratch the rash on my back it's perfect bliss
You want a life companion and you're getting this

Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times

You have to look away of every meal
Inconvenient but that's the deal
This it what, we become when nothing's real
Mental wounds that never heal

Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times

Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times
Man, can get a few dimes
And man can get it a few times

    Lodger is awesome. I had to submit these when I realized that I couldn't find decent Lodger lyrics anywhere.

    It's a tad obvious what this song is about, but I'll post anyway :)

    About the repetition, and suckiness of life. It's from a sexually frustrated, and probably old man's perspective. But by old, not like old as in age but worn out from life, et cetera. If you saw the video you can understand the repetition better since it just shows the man going back and forth between his job :(

    And he probably think his girlfriend deserves better, obviously, "You want a life companion and you're getting this," the tone of the song isn't really suggesting that the speaker is up to par with the woman's expectations.

    Yeah, life can suck sometimes. No money or sex. That's why there's bands! Wheee!

    Lol, I can't wait till someone owns me and say that I'm completely wrong.

    Through the video, it seems to be simply an addendum to actually loving death and the crappiness of life.

    However, the lyrics seem to be talking about one inflicted with cancer and simply waiting to die. His lover, of course, is there with him through the duration of the end. The title depicts love for death as redemption from the burden he is on his lover, less than a morbid self-interested desire.

    Completely agreed with Derek above. Just a man who's waiting to die who realises life is boring and monotonous.

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.

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.
