This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I see you bleed the feelings you close up
I know the pain that you hide
Oh baby please don't be no close out
Stay with me through the night
Needle Street ain't no answer
Can't dream a heartache away
Let the need be your master
All of your dreams fade away
Everything you want
Everything you want
Anything you want
Anything you want
You can find it right here
Ah no don't go
Down to the midnight motel
Oh no so low
Can't find no heaven in hell
There's a silence that comes in the morning
Leaves you screamin' at the wall
As you sit there in your easy chair
Chasin' demons at a crawl
When you feel that you'll never find
Somewhere why'll be safe to lie
Just take a look over here
Together we'll rise in a mornin' glory
Anything you want
Anything you want
Everything you want
Everything you want
You can find it right here
Don't go don't go
Down to the Old Rose Motel
Oh no don't go
Down to the midnight hotel
I know the pain that you hide
Oh baby please don't be no close out
Stay with me through the night
Needle Street ain't no answer
Can't dream a heartache away
Let the need be your master
All of your dreams fade away
Everything you want
Everything you want
Anything you want
Anything you want
You can find it right here
Ah no don't go
Down to the midnight motel
Oh no so low
Can't find no heaven in hell
There's a silence that comes in the morning
Leaves you screamin' at the wall
As you sit there in your easy chair
Chasin' demons at a crawl
When you feel that you'll never find
Somewhere why'll be safe to lie
Just take a look over here
Together we'll rise in a mornin' glory
Anything you want
Anything you want
Everything you want
Everything you want
You can find it right here
Don't go don't go
Down to the Old Rose Motel
Oh no don't go
Down to the midnight hotel

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.

“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.

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.
I think this might be about someone craving for drugs (Needle Street ain't no answer, Let the need be your master) but is told by his/her partner not to give in to the temptation.
Can't find no heaven in hell
Chasin' demons at a crawl
