She said live young and leave a wake of beauty,
It's all I ever could have asked
Should have asked from you,
And I won't forget to write you
When I get there soon
'Cause you'll be lying dead
From stab wounds to the
Neck and chest again,

They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood
Face first in a tale of awkward love,
They found you covered up in blood,
She' bleeding she's bleeding

Gone with the stitching in her heart
Left out a silhouette that just won't
Heal and dying in your arms tonight

This dream, we die,
Locked away,
With this blood, and this knife
This dream, we die,
Locked away,
With this blood,
And this knife

I know it's all
Just a bad dream now

So now midnights here
You're all alone
They use this fear
It's all just a bad dream
And I can't seem to

Wake up from this [2x]
In my dreams, we die,
With this blood, and this knife
In my dreams, we die,
With this blood, and this knife now

I know it's all just a bad dream now
(i know it's all just a bad dream now)
It's all just a bad dream now
(I know it's all just a bad dream now)
It's all just a bad dream now
(I know it's all just a bad dream now)

I say
This is the last time that
I'll ever get to see your face alive,
They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood
And I know that everyday's a new day
And my dreams will never die,
They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood

She said live young and leave a wake of beauty,
It's all I ever could have asked
Should have asked from you,
And I won't forget to write you
When I get there soon
'Cause you'll be lying dead from dreaming (nightmares)

So now midnights here
You're all alone
They use this fear
It's all just a bad dream
And I can't seem to
Wake up from this
Wake up from this
Wake up from this

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
