Your heart is tired of feelin'
Your hand is lettin' go off mine
The night has fallen and it's stealin'
The last of our little life this time

In the arms of eternity
Twilight finds you in my arms
The mornin' finds you gone

We gotta dream forever
We have to pretend we're still in love
And I wouldn't dare try to wake you
Sleep with me, a dream in love

In the arms of eternity
Twilight finds you in my arms
The mornin' finds you gone

In the arms of eternity
Twilight finds you in my arms
The mornin' finds you gone

We gotta dream forever
We gotta pretend we're still in love
And I wouldn't dare try to wake you
Sleep with me, a dream in love

When newborn rays of sun
Dare to shine through this day
Cold virgin air is just all that remains
In my cold let darkness fall

We gotta dream forever
We gotta pretend we're still in love
I wouldn't dare try to wake you
Sleep with me, a dream in love
Sleep with me, a dream in love
Sleep with me, a dream in love

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
