Yeah we say making changes starts in the little things you do.
Revolution begins at home but for most of us it ends there too
We're doing something
We're making changes
Like changing the brand of crap we buy.
We say it makes a difference but that�s just another lie..

It used to be us and them
And you an me..
And now we can't reach our potential without a common enemy
A real war to fight against
Instead of our petty disagreements
How can I rastionalise
My life during war time.. .
Lie..

A call to action and no reaction
Taking our lives in our hands
Insted of sitting around and talking bout the same old shitty bands

But wars going on right now
And I'm not doing anything about it
Without a crowd, I'm not so loud
I can't do anything by myself.
But that's just another lie

    revolution begins at home but for most of us it ends there too

    it used to be us and them, and you and me, and now we cant reach our potential without a common enemy, a real war to fight against instead of our petty disagreements. How can i rationalise my life during wartime, lie.

    a call to action and a reaction

     Im not picking on you, its just they're the lyrics, aren't they?

    And isn't this a pinhead gunpowder song?

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.

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.
