This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I've forgotten my name
I'm sick and weak and fresh from sleep
I crawl from a crooked bed
With dirty feet and shaky hands
The numbers on the clock read
1140 am
I've got time to clean myself
Then sell my soul again
When I sleep I dream
I dream I am awake
Or was it when awake
I dream I am asleep
I work I shit I eat I sleep
I'm inspected by the number seven
This can't be my life
No this isn't me
I don't know what's beset this change
I barely recognise my own face
In my mind something's just not right
But in my heart I'm bathed in golden liiiight
Bathed in golden light
Bathed in a golden light
My eyelids still heavy, my pulse still faint
I'm puzzle pieces, my memory's strained
I feel strength swell, a day dream
Is shaking under this duality
my pulse still faint
I hear a strange voice but don't know what it's saying
And in this moment
Second stop and I burst with clarity
A wealth of love and hate, gone blank
For I finally remember my fucking name
I eat rocks
And I breathe wind
I've been around the world
And back again
I've lost the static
And the gray is gone
I've got the power of
A million exploding suns
I am consumed by my might
Blinded in light as I would be in night
This void is holding me tight
It doesn't feel right
When will I ever break free
Within or without I'm chained by the dream
The void is holding me tight
It doesn't feel right
When will I ever break free
Within or without I'm chained by the dream
The void and light are both me
It doesn't feel right
Bright lights flood my eyes
It's true
Now I realise
The perilous truth
Of a perilous life
By my own device
The strength of my high
Is the strength of my low
Unless there's no me
They both
They both explode
I'm sick and weak and fresh from sleep
I crawl from a crooked bed
With dirty feet and shaky hands
The numbers on the clock read
1140 am
I've got time to clean myself
Then sell my soul again
When I sleep I dream
I dream I am awake
Or was it when awake
I dream I am asleep
I work I shit I eat I sleep
I'm inspected by the number seven
This can't be my life
No this isn't me
I don't know what's beset this change
I barely recognise my own face
In my mind something's just not right
But in my heart I'm bathed in golden liiiight
Bathed in golden light
Bathed in a golden light
My eyelids still heavy, my pulse still faint
I'm puzzle pieces, my memory's strained
I feel strength swell, a day dream
Is shaking under this duality
my pulse still faint
I hear a strange voice but don't know what it's saying
And in this moment
Second stop and I burst with clarity
A wealth of love and hate, gone blank
For I finally remember my fucking name
I eat rocks
And I breathe wind
I've been around the world
And back again
I've lost the static
And the gray is gone
I've got the power of
A million exploding suns
I am consumed by my might
Blinded in light as I would be in night
This void is holding me tight
It doesn't feel right
When will I ever break free
Within or without I'm chained by the dream
The void is holding me tight
It doesn't feel right
When will I ever break free
Within or without I'm chained by the dream
The void and light are both me
It doesn't feel right
Bright lights flood my eyes
It's true
Now I realise
The perilous truth
Of a perilous life
By my own device
The strength of my high
Is the strength of my low
Unless there's no me
They both
They both explode

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
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
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
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.
I interpret this song both ways, it has too many references to The Sentry to not be about him at all. He's the mightiest of all Marvel superheros. An enhanced super soldier serum causes the sentry's molecules to be supercharged by the sun and move at a different rate than the rest of the world. He's been around since before the Fantastic 4, but no one remembers him because of the Watchtower. Bob Reynolds doesn't remember much about his life as a superhero; he lives his life as a regular person, a slob more or less, laying around the house watching tv and sleeping most of the time. The Watchtower is a kind of safeguard created so the Sentry doesn't remember his powers, and so the public forgets about The Void. The Void is the Sentry's alter ego. He claims that every time he does something good, the Void retaliates with something just as bad ("the strength of my High is the strength of my low"). "The Void is holding me tight." describes being crippled by the fear of the void taking over. Of course this is just my interpretation, as the Sentry is badass, but there are several things lines that don't quite fit. Nathan may be comparing himself to the Golden God of Good, but it's not clear if his statement about schizophrenia is true. He has referred to his alterego is General Beam, as he usually comes out after drinking some Jim Beam.
